By default, there is NO wifi security at all. This means anyone can connect to your car while it's plugged in. The SSID of the wifi is not unique (so if a bunch of cars were nearby it'd be hard to know which to pair to)

The first thing I did was to determine how to get a password on the MHD dongle, as you could easily log into anyone's wifi dongle and do some nasty stuff. Could easily lock everyone out of the unit by changing settings or adding a password, or upload a dodgy flash and brick the car

Just log into https://192.168.4.1 and change the SSID and password to your own!
I found that you need to log in to http://192.168.4.1 (not https) or the redirected URI http://192.168.4.1/home.html.

Obviously, you need to connect to the MHD WiFi first (before logging in via the URI), especially if you're at home and already on home WiFi.

You can also make the SSID hidden.
