I have one of my credit cards with a limit of £500, purely for using on sites I don't know very well.

First.. why bother about your credit card limit? they will cover your ass something happen anyway, it won't cost you nothing.. so why caring about all those safty ??
Also, the way you talk is like the worst that could happen is that it dosn't work.. but what happen if it actually DAMAGE your car computer? :P I would'nt plug untrusted device in my Pcar :P

Solves a lot of problems from their view point..............
