Researcher reverse-engineers Renault infotainment just to fix the clock

Security researcher Rasmus Moorats found his 2014 Renault Latitude refused to let him adjust its dashboard clock because the original navigation SD card was missing, triggering a 'No maps detected!' error. Unable to fix it through normal settings, he reverse-engineered the head unit's customized Linux-based TomTom OS on a Samsung chip, extracting firmware, building a QEMU test environment, and finding multiple vulnerabilities before devising a kernel-level exploit to execute his own code.

Owner Hacks Renault Latitude Head Unit to Fix Clock Without Nav SD Card

A 2014 Renault Latitude owner discovered that the car's infotainment system blocks access to the clock settings menu unless a navigation map SD card is inserted. After the previous owner discarded an outdated, non-functional SD card, the new owner found no way to adjust the time for daylight saving changes through official menus, eventually resorting to jailbreaking the system to regain control.
