99 for a transmission reprogram, not too bad.
Any truth to the rumors that if you smoke your A6 tranny and you've had it reprogrammed that GM is immediately DENYING the warranty coverage ??
Allegedly they can tell that its been reprogrammed even if its reflashed.

This has happened over on the Corvette Forums. Guy had his transmission computer flashed, the A6 shot craps, coudln't re-tune it, GM denied his warranty on a 2007 C6.

Are you sure about the dealer not knowing? One of my friends took his 08 M6 in, and he had had the transmission flashed, and they knew about it and refused his service untill it was back to original.

On the other hand though, if you plan on doing any other modding the warranty is going to be under question anyway. That is a decision you make when you buy a new car, as to whether or not you value the warranty enough to mod or not.

There is far to much un-tapped potential in these cars to NOT tune them, but it is a choice. If happy w/the canned tune from GM then by all means, don't do it......but I buy the cars to have fun with & that usually means making them faster!
