Just new to the forums and came across the Wireless section. I do not really know if you guys discuss war driving or not, but here goes. I usually play around locally where I live and have a great understanding of wireless networks in my town. Heh small town and there are over 400+ wireless netowrks! One day driving down a street with limited activity, I noticed an encrypted signal come and go real quick, so I look at the name and its something along the lines of BMWUSA_rftest. I am almost positive thats what it was, stupid me doesn't record it. At the time that I recorded the signal, I tell my friend and he says that a BMW just drove by. So being sort of intrigued by that we drove up and down the street several times, only to no eval(we even walked around!)

So my only conclusion is that the BMW had some form of wireless in that car. I did a little research and this proved to be interesting. http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/004876.html

Something about WiFi stereo's in cars and being able to transfer mp3's to and from your laptop via a wireless connection.

So if anyone else sees a connection like that pop up on their scanner...let me know I have never seen anything like that before.

On a side note, hopefully tonite I will be hitting up some BMW dealerships in lieu of getting another signal...only this time I'll be sure to record the exact device name.

Cheers!
