My truck stereo was hijacked

After getting settled in last night, my trucks bluetooth stereo was hijacked. I normally make sure the volume is off before beddy bed because it has a tendency to blast static after it resets itself to FM radio after the opti idle kicks on after a few hours. Last night, out of the blue, some kind of russian ethnic music comes blasting over my stereo. It was loud, full blast loud.

I guessed I left the volume up and the radio came on due to opti idle resetting it. I got up to lower the volume.... it was already lowered all the way down... it turned off after 30 seconds or so on its own. problem solved... or so I thought. About 5 mins later it happened again. It did not turn off this time. Russian ethnic music blasting at full volume. It would not stop. Turning the stereo power off did nothing to stop it. I had to dig up the truck radio manual and figure out how to disable the bluetooth.

OK, somehow my radio was hijacked but what was really weird is that the volume control was hijacked as well.

Now that Im thinking about it, it was probably the trucks ELD device which comes over the speakers weather the radio is off or on. But nah that cant be it because disabling the radios bluetooth was what made it stop.

Maybe my truck is possessed by Baryshnikov.

 

I use the blue tooth all the time when Im driving. No matter how turned up the volume is on the device it dont make a peep until I turn up the volume on the stereo. The ELD / truck computer will come thru the speakers with the volume off tho.

I was thinking Id have to go find which truck it was coming from if I couldnt get it to stop lol. It was blaasting.
