    Yes, this was the point I was trying to make the other day. Unencrypted ECU code is relatively straight-forward to perform static analysis against. What about encrypted ECU code? Bosch isn't going to make that mistake again, lol.

    And probably the worst part for them is the 'cheat' routines will just be compiled with every core EDC17 software build regardless of which manufacturer it is for, sort of like guilt by association even though others never asked for it.

    This might be nebulous for most but for those of us in North East Florida the direct impact of this situation was the shutting down of our local 1/8th mile track. VW offered 16x as much money per sq ft as the track owners for the leased land so they could stage the recalled vehicles on the property. In this politically correct world it was truly amazing to "see" a track being allowed to start up and thrive for four years and sickening to "see" it get the plug pulled for the most outrageous of reasons. One would think noise, a series of accidents or the walking dead would be the end of it rather than this.

    I hear ya brother. That is happening all over the country, sadly. Where I'm at, the land the local tracks sit on could generate far more revenue serving other purposes than collecting racer entry fees, hosting sanctioned race events and constantly fighting off neighboring property owners and other regulatory bodies which have a distaste for the racing culture.

    They really shouldn't have to dig as hard as they are. Where are the subpoenas?

    Who are going to be the expert witnesses to interpret the code? The Bosch engineers?
