Audi, the automotive conglomerate, has joined the ranks of other Western manufacturers in limiting Russian dealers' access to its software. As reported by Russian Izvestia, referencing a source from an official dealer center, Audi has taken the step to restrict access to its proprietary software for Russian dealerships.

Currently, there is no alternative software available for Audi. Car owners in Russia are also being cautioned that further limitations on additional functionalities are imminent. This includes features such as remote ignition, car preheating, fuel level tracking, and information regarding updates.
