Better hope donor parts don't start getting used to by pass security features or this will happen in an instant
Seems unlikely. For one because donor parts like computers would have to be programmed (either by the manufacturer, or a mechanic with access to a scan tool that could do so), and so if you need a new ECU you're limited to those options or a third party service that will clone that computer. And two, most of the things I'd need to replace on that car that aren't computer related are easy to get second hand from a pick n pull, junk yard, or aftermarket and don't really have the kinds of electronics used to send and receive info to a car manufacturers servers. I'm not worried that my MAP sensor is gonna spy on me to BMW. I would worry if it were an ECU or a TCM or the like. The other thing is it would require upgrading the 3G chip in a lot of cars on the road to 4G or similar and or plugging a 4G device into the car somewhere like the OBD port which would be quite obvious in my car.
