That's why I go there for all of my computer information.....NOT!
I sincerely doubt that a car computer and an MP3 play have even
the same CPU much less a way for the "virus" to go from the player
to the car computer.  There's no damn connection!  I think this 
info is bogus.  Where is Penn and Teller when you need them?
