OK, I guess that makes sense.

What more do you know about the software/firmware upgrade process on the Audi? Is Handyvorb a program that updates the EEPROMs in the car's various control modules?

How about organization of the update CDs? They appear to have directories for each control module, and underneath those are different numerical directories (e.g. 7, 8, 9, 11, 14), and finally a binary file that must be the firmware to load into the control module. But what is the meaning of the various numbered folders?

Handyvorb is Bluetooth module, as I know.

I don't know anything about update CD's organization or folders, though it would be fun to hack that software. Quite a few things could be improved. Is it possible to find source code somewhere?
