I have a funny feeling that the telemetry software VRS requires you to install may do a little more than advertised. If I get the time or someone else sees this and wants to take a look at doing some dynamic or static analysis on their telemetry program to see if they call back to any weird domains or have weird behavior, it may be good to document it and add it in a separate incident section. If you are to do this, make sure things are documented really well with lots of pictures and replication steps because doing something like that is original and doesn't come from another website.

To unlock the rest of the device's performance, the customer is required to purchase a software unlock code to gain access to the higher amounts of performance and use their wheel with the 15 or 20 Nm of torque options that are already supported by the motor.  

VRS does not allow the customer to purchase a motor at 20 Nm of torque directly and the customer is required to purchase an unlock code to be entered into the 'VRS DirectForce' configuration tool for full functionality of the wheel base.
