If there exists a data connection, the system can be compromised by an outsider. The only way to make it impossible for vehicle control systems to get hacked wirelessly is if they are completely disconnected from communication points. Which includes not only preventing wireless updates (which is obvious), but also doing things like having no means of communication between say the navigation system and throttle/steering/brakes.
