I'm not 100% sure how they differ in terms of encryption. From my understanding BMW has been making it significantly hard than Audi has.
Audi hasn't pushed any updates (OTA or dealer updates) to change any encryption or to prevent unlocking. I can flash my S4 from home on my laptop without taking it somewhere to be bench flashed or removing it from the car.
Fortunately my X3M has an early 2020 production date so I am able to flash with BM3. I know they are still trying to figure out how to crack/flash the later production and 2021 as those are not able to be flashed at the moment. I'm sure once they are in those the G80 will follow soon after (assuming it's the same or similar)
