According to the article, yes. If your car's Bluetooth is connected in any way to the car's computer system the car could be hijacked by a malicious hacker. Unfortunately, most, if not all, of them are.

So the safety feature of the hands-free Bluetooth phone system within many (most?) vehicles is now disabled and probably will never be patched. Swell.

NO, They're not disabled, but they are vulnerable to this BlueBorne malware attack unless they are upgraded. The dealer should upgrade them. . . But will they?
