Jake and I have been having a spirited discussion about this, and we can't seem to get to the bottom of it.
Let me ask the same question in a slightly different way:
Let's say I own, oh I dunno... a 2012 Audi A8L. I have a HEX-NET interface, and an Android phone with a hotspot. My HEX-NET is successfully hooked up to my Android hotspot and OTA updates are working for me. I don't own a PC or laptop of any sort. No USB updates will ever be performed. Am I going to have a happy HEX-NET experience, or am I going to have problems for lack of this ROD data update?

- FW, CB, and DS updates can be applied either OTA or USB. Fine and good.
- CFB and BL updates can only be applied via USB, but those are almost never needed. Also fine and good.
- ... but what exactly is a ROD update from the USB utility?
