Found on my rental car. Is this legit? Are we at this level now?

Whenever I rent a car, I have the habit of going through the previously paired devices and deleting them all.

Today, I found this. I initially though it could be a very fun prank, but then I started thinking that most cars will request access to phone data, at least on Android, and piggyback off the phone's connection.

Are we now at this level of hacking? Infecting an infotainment system to gain access to random phones?
