Why won't your local dealer help?

Component protection is to prevent stolen parts and if the parts are legit the can't reasonably refuse you, if they do I would complain by letter or email to head office.

As for dealers to help I'm afraid I don't know who is good up your way.

Amp going into CP after MMI update is a common occurrence. As the amp is, I'm guessing, original to car it should be trivial to get it removed by the dealer.

There are a couple of independent Audi specialists not too far from you. One is A4 Audi in Clydebank and they do audio stuff too. And there's an auto electrician in Paisley that I can have a look for if that would help.

The one that causes the CP issue is the disk 2 which is entirely Blutooth features.

You need an Audi main dealer to take this off, theres no way round it. I would complain if they refuse, Ive had it done twice, the first was free, the 2nd when i put in a voice module cost me 23.60

All they have to do is attach it to the VAG device and follow the instructions on screen to remove CP, however it needs to be connected to the main server in germany, hence the need for a main dealer. its 5/10 minutes of actual time, i was in the dealers for less than 30 minutes total.
