FYI: Sprint blocked the port that this hack uses, so while you should install the update, the attack vector has been blocked. The hacker who revealed this exploit says that the blocked port has closed the exploit access vector.

Hopefully the car at least checks the update to make sure it's signed with Chrysler's public key. However knowing these guys, the car will probably take any file.
From Chrysler's site. You enter your VIN, which determines the version you get.
I've updated several times over the last 2 years for new features and improvements. I only get them from Chrysler.

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that it will take any file. That's why I grab it from Chrysler.
