German auto concerns, BMW and Audi have limited access to their software for Russian dealerships.

As reported by Ukrinform, reported The newspaper “Izvestia”.

Information about the disconnection with the software of the BMW company was confirmed by the largest dealer center of this brand in Russia “BorisHof”. Therefore it is impossible to duplicate keys, there are other complications. A service representative told the newspaper that it is currently unknown whether dealers will be able to diagnose. The Avtodom dealer reports that access to BMW online services is provided through “additional backup channels”.

One of the Audi dealers told the publication that access to the software has been limited for two months, on condition that his identity remains anonymous. This is for programming duplicate keys, as well as “where programming is required – control units, gearbox, etc.” It caused problems in fitting the parts.

As reported last week, Mercedes-Benz has taken similar measures to isolate Russian dealers from its software.
