Itsme:

Stupid question: Is it legal to change something at the car and don't tell it to the owner? You (of course not RC, lease) bought the car, it is your property and someone else changes your property without asking you?

Audi doesn't need to inform or ask for permission to update the software with so called maintenance updates. Actually, I'm not even sure there has ever been some sort of legal evaluation of such a situation. Would be interesting to know.

Even if this thing would go to court (which I doubt), I don't think that any judge in Germany listening to the current sound of my R8 would rule in my favor. On the contrary, I think they would even demand a more muted sound. Smiley
