And by the way this " software engine lock" exists in several car models without that the costumer is informered.. And it is for the customers best.. The goal is a properly runned in car ..
This could not happen here. Consumer protection groups would have that kind of opaque nannying outlawed and the company forced to change either the software or inform every prospective owner that they were not being allowed to have full access to the published specification of the vehicle they had chosen to buy.

If the EEC allows that kind of hidden behavior by manufacturers I'm glad I don't live there anymore.
