Audi had been doing this for years and they even disable stuff if you sell your car to another private person. One of my friends bought a used Audi and everything was disabled so he installed a cracked version of the infotainment software and now the only thing that doesn't work is the fingerprint unlock.

A fingerprint unlock on a car? I've never heard of that, is it to unlock the doors?

Probably used for user profiles for the seats and stuff and Aircon. Mercedes does it too

Don't know: there is a fingerprint reader on the handle of the car but it doesn't work
