New N52 Tune (PowerBox) - November 1st!!

supraking · 10-31-2009, 05:41 PM

Hey Mike,

I've never put a tune into a car so just curious... you guys say it doesn't throw codes, but what if the dealer were to update their software when I bring it in for routine maintenance? Would the box detect that or would it be an issue. Like I said, leased car so I don't want to take any serious chances, but if it's going to operate silently and not be detectable (plus easily installed/removed) then I would go for it.

Short of having a crystal ball, I don't think anyone can know what updates a dealer's diagnostic equipment may receive at any point. For one, you can set this tune to "No Map" and all signals pass straight through. Beyond that, voiding a warranty should only become an issue once something breaks, and a warranty claim is made. Removing this tune is as straightforward as installing it, so just have it out before the tow truck gets there.

If you're seeking an ultimate guarantee of invisibility and immunity to any and all issues, don't ever modify any car that is still in warranty, in any way. Otherwise, do what every person with mods on their new cars has done, and decide that some small amount of risk is acceptable to you. Then, stop thinking and place your order!
