问HN:无线CarPlay适配器会窃取你的数据吗?
我最近在阿里巴巴国际站上订购了一个无线Carplay适配器,它通过USB连接到汽车,将你的iPhone通过蓝牙(和/或WiFi)连接到汽车的Carplay。
说明书中提到了一种有趣的固件升级方式,可以连接到互联网。当适配器连接到电源时,你可以通过WiFi和浏览器中的IP地址连接到它。在适配器的网页界面中,有一个按钮可以升级固件。但当适配器完全没有连接到互联网时,这个过程是如何进行的呢?
我了解到,适配器实际上是利用iPhone的移动网络连接来发送/接收互联网数据。我之前并不知道这竟然是可能的,而且似乎没有办法阻止这种连接或被通知有活动连接(除了WiFi连接显而易见)。
现在我担心的是:当适配器在车内连接到iPhone时,是否有可能让适配器使用相同的机制,通过iPhone的移动网络将Carplay数据(消息、联系人等)发送到远程服务器?

So I recently ordered one of the many wireless Carplay dongles from Aliexpress that work via USB in your car connecting your iPhone to the car's Carplay via Bluetooth (and/or Wifi) to the USB dongle.<p>The instruction manual mentioned a firmware upgrade which had an interesting way of connecting to the internet. So when the dongle is connected to a power source you can connect to it via Wifi and an IP address in your browser. Now in the dongle's web UI, there is a button to upgrade your firmware. But how does this work when the dongle is not connected to the internet at all?<p>Well as I learned, the dongle simply uses the iPhone's mobile connection to send/receive data from the internet. I wasn't aware this is even possible and there doesn't appear to be a way to stop this or be notified of an active connection (aside from the wifi connection obv).<p>Now my concern is: when the dongle is connected to the iPhone in the car, is there a way for the dongle to use the same mechanism and send Carplay data (messages, contacts, etc) to a remote server using the iPhone's mobile connection?
