Thanks everyone for your kind words as others have said yes it is a shame that AussieTig's hard work was leaked onto the web for every to access. We have done our best to try and lock this down to our dealers, I understand if you have V3970 or later it means a drive out to one of the dealerships, however this is the only way to lock down the POI's whilst still keeping the POI pricing down.
If we wanted SD card security we would be looking at over $250 per install of POI's. Our aim was to provide this to all members at a cheap and affordable rate and have done our best to disperse these maps across AU without them being uploaded. As of March it seems to be still locked down.
Aussietig was never chasing money in the first place nor did he count on this as a sole form of income, we just felt this was the least we could do to re-pay him.
I understand that some of you would like to modify the .DB3 file but given the cost of the update of $20.00 it just is not economically viable to spend time adjusting per request.
On another note, there have been some internal changes within the business The Retrofitters no longer manages any of the VW parts, supplies, dealers and POI's this is now being managed under the new business name VW Central.
Should you wish to purchase the POI's please do so via this link: POI Purchase
