Default least hackable the A8 ... not easy... from Black Hat 2014 conference

"........For example, Valasek says, the three most vulnerable of the 21 cars they looked at were the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2015 Cadillac Escalade, and the 2014 Infiniti Q50.

By contrast, the least hackable of the 21 were the 2014 Dodge Viper, 2014 Audi A8, and the 2014 Honda Accord.

Of the A8, for instance, Valasek and Miller report that “The vehicle not only separates viable attack points (Bluetooth, telematics, radio) from safety critical components (steering, braking, acceleration), but also has them working on different" computer networks."

Just saw this article pop up again while researching means to upgrade MMI myself.

This probably covers the whole D4 platform and not just the 2014 model. Incredible cars these A8s...
