Hi, for the really scary part, check out this paper: Experimental Security Analysis of a Modern Automobile -- K. Koscher, A. Czeskis, F. Roesner, S. Patel, T. Kohno, S. Checkoway, D. McCoy, B. Kantor, D. Anderson, H. Shacham, S. Savage. The IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, Oakland, CA, May 16-19, 2010.
All you need is an interface to the CAN bus of the car, and you can do stuff like - disabling the brakes - braking individual wheels - increase the RPM of the engine - shoot windshield fluid - turn off the headlights - lock the doors - show what you want on the speed meter and lots more. You can put your changes in volatile memory such that the evidence is lost on reboot, which you can trigger at will. They have tested it while driving as well. I'm pretty confident that you can get to the central CAN bus via the wireless sensors, too. They showed that it worked with third-party components like a radio because the critical and non-critical CAN busses are interconnected via bridges.
