Look at Toyota and their black box, they wont let anyone look at it cuz its tracking all kinds of ****.

And like a computer Im sure even though you wrote over one with another, its still traceable on the memory device.

But that shouldnt stop any warrenty work unless they can prove the tune was the cause, they shouldnt be reading the ECU just for the heck of it.
there is truth in this..

No... the 135i guys were unloading the 'custom' tune and reloading the stock one and STILL it was traced.

I, like you both, do not think it will be that much of an issue as they will not check the CPU everytime you go in....

Thats because the computer stores the codes.. I work at a vw dealership and its the same thing with the tunes on the 2.0t motors. you can just read the boost levels on the ecu and know its chipped.. and if the chip was set back to stock normally the ecu stores overboost codes and you can tell that way.. nothing is fool proof even if cobb or whatever company tells you it is.
