Dear all,
I am really frustrated about car manufacturers adding features in cars that last the first couple of years and are locked later behind a paywall. Everyone remembers the heated seats fiasco BMW did and how people quickly hacked their system to enable (the previously inatalled and already in the vehicle) heated seats. My question is, has anyone in the piracy community found a solution to crack the Audi MIB3 system and had the solution? Features on demand which require only a setting change that hide behind a paywall are really annoying especially because the car already has those features but are "locked". There are people who offer online to activate features such as Android Auto/Carplay, however the solution is not public yet because they want to profit from this. To me it isn't very safe to let a stranger from another side of the world to connect to my car via OBD cable and do it through remote desktop. OBD11 doesn't do much in this situation since these options aren't listed at their website.
Thank you and sorry for the long complaint.
