The local uprev tuner wont be able to tune it without having to put another License on it. The Stillen cables and tune are locked. So if you have the dealer install everything they will load the Stillen tune with the Stillen cable, then when ya get it protuned they will have to flash it back to stock with the Stillen cable. You will then have to buy another license and they will tune it off that license. Also I know Stillen only offers the warranty with there tune. I been down this road a dozen times...

No I know. I already have the UPREV license on the car now. Kaizen tune my car
already so they will be using that to tune me for FI. I talked to Stillen about the warrenty
and decided not to take the optional 3 year 36k warranty. I will have coverage for one year on the kit from stillen but will have my factory drivetrain warranty from infiniti till 60k.
Infiniti warranty is why the dealer is installing the kit. I know the Stillen can tune has had
some issues and that is why I decided to have it retuned.

Will your warranty be through Infinity or through the dealer installing it? I can see the dealee warrantying things but I don't see Infinity as a company honoring your drivetrain warranty.

Recently a local Chevy dealership, Denoyer, began selling corvettes and camaros, modified by Redline, advertised that they had a factory warranty covering the modifications snd stock components and it ended quite badly for both companies when the owners figured out that wasn't true.

Sounds like you got all your bases covered. Just make sure you flash your back to stock before you drop it off at the dealer....IN for the results!!!
