Keep in mind, there's never going to be a true way of being invisible to the dealer/service whether you use a flash or piggyback tune or any hardware modifications. Modifying has always carried risk of warranty and it doesn't apply just to cars we love to mod  |
Thanks for the reply. My question had nothing to do with warranty or being invisible. Was merely asking IF they were to flash the car's ECU, where your flash resides, would the flash cause
them any problems or not. You seem to be saying that it wouldn't cause the dealer any problems in flashing the ECU.
Worst thing that would happen is that you'd have to get the DME unlocked again. I'm guessing you would realize that after getting your car back and trying to flash the tune again, and being unsuccessful.
