Can you turn off blutec on your computer?

Does blutec have a security flaw?

I've been looking for E250 blutecs at the salvage auctions, but only found one 
so far and it was not worth saving.
I was looking at a 2010 S550 4x4 today, but bought the Chebby that was two cars 
in front of it in the sale and didn't even see what the 550 sold for. That 
makes two Cruzes in the last month. I'm hoping to make enough off the red 2016 
to make up for overpaying on the gray 2017. It'll be interesting to see what I 
can sell the red one for with a rebuilt title and no factory warranty.
