No more foreign cars: Russia began to block illegally imported cars

When connecting diagnostic equipment to foreign cars, anti -theft systems are triggered. They block the car and greatly complicate its operation. Despite the sanctions, it is continued to import foreign cars illegally. Manufacturers have now started to block such cars. This was reported on The Moscow Times. Numerous sanctions and departure of many world car manufacturers from the Russian market prompted the Russians to engage in parallel imports of foreign cars.

This scheme made it possible to import new cars that were intended for other countries. Such cars are now blocked when serviced in non -certified service centers. The problem has already affected many BMW, Mercedes and Renault models. In some cars, when connecting the diagnostic equipment, anti -theft systems are triggered. At the same time, the support of software for imported cars in Russia is stopped.
