🎛️ Pwn2Own Automotive contest to feature Sony XAV-AX8500 head unit. The upcoming Pwn2Own Automotive contest will include the Sony XAV-AX8500, a single DIN head unit equipped with features like wired and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A detailed examination of its internals reveals a main board powered by an NXP i.MX 8M Mini processor, alongside components such as an 8Gb LPDDR4 SDRAM and a 16GB eMMC chip. Additional boards handle GPS, audio, and video functions, with a focus on potential vulnerabilities for research. The contest is set to take place in January 2025 in Tokyo, where participants will assess the security of automotive technologies.
