I think all of the trifectas have the hide a tune feature but I'm going for warranty. I just have to pull my catless downpipe off. I may pull the tune out before i take it to. I'm hoping its just a bad sensor. It has a few other small issues. I'm getting a service brake system message occationally and I lose one of my tire sensors sometimes. the fan motor makes a noise as well. They'll be giving it a good going over.

To bad you guys can't do the flash/piggyback tune shuffle like us bimmer folk. Just uninstall and roll up for warranty work.

I'm not sure what the flash/piggyback tune is lol but I can take it out since I kept the cable. It just stores it on my laptop. Same concept as a programmer.

You put your tune back in, you take your tune back out, you put your tune back in then you shred tires all about. You do the tune shuffle to maintain your warranty, that's what it's all about!

Yeah, flash is basically what you have. You can flash back your stock PCM/ECU firmware. I use a programmer called a Cobb Accessport, but I also have a piggyback which is a physical device that you plug inline with your PCM/ECU. The gray area is when you get a flash done on the dyno. Unless you have a copy of hptuners or whatever was used, it becomes difficult to go back to stock ECU wise. I'd imagine that it's much like what us n54 bimmer guys deal with. I can bring my car in with some bolt ons for servicing and that is acceptable, but if they saw a flash tune or a piggyback on my car they'd void my warranty.
