I think almost all manufacturers do it to some extent. As far as what Autel's doing I didn't update VW/Audi because of generalization of perfected partial agreements (what agreement) in my favor or not to get sued by VW/Audi? They're just not clear enough with user's and we all find out new deficiencies with updates it seems. Can't wait to see what shakes out after this prolonged period of limited updates (good or bad). I guess you should ask support if you really need to know short-term. Good luck
