Hacked Radio??

I would say this was false but it happened to me. I saw on a head line that the Uconnect radios can be hacked and people can take control of your truck from a computer. I found youtube videos of 3 people doing it along with turning on random codes. I had 120,000 miles on my truck (2014 tradesmen ecodiesel) with only 1 major issue (EGR). after the dealership fixed it, I started getting random codes that didn't even make seance (like P0352 that's for gas engines I believe) and random radio station changes, all the other codes I had checked and everything kept coming back fine in good working condition. After many hours of research I found out that disconnecting the Satellite radio antenna, the truck can not be hacked. I pulled my dash apart and got to it, and after that I have not had one stupid code come on until my intake manifold got plugged or random radio station changes with volume.

Has anyone had any relatable issues?

Wow! That sounds crazy! Where do you live and who do you think could be hacking it?

I live in SD but from things I've researched on, the hackers could be anywhere in the world. Once you give something internet/satellite connection, it becomes hackable. I'm not a tech savvy guy, but I do know how to unplug wires lol.

Yeah I put 30,000 miles on it with in one year time span. So yeah it doesn't like me at all. But I changed the oil on it every 5,000 miles, So it should have been happy.
