For the record, while VAG's computers may not be able to detect ECU flashing, the PIWIS tester currently used in all Porsche dealerships will show a large full screen warning when the DME is accessed saying "data record has been tampered with". There is no way around it no matter what their marketing departments want you to believe.


Edit: Here 'ya go, chip tuners of the world enjoy. Additionally, the clock hours in regards to the over-rev counter reverse anytime a DME is flashed. Takes a tiny bit of intellect to notice, but any tech worth their salt would (as would the warranty department at PCNA).

There is one way around it

Yeah, wait till you are out of warranty! 6K miles to go before the tampering begins!

I've spoken with a rep. from Upsolute and all the programming is through the OBD2 port. It's a two step process since the info. from your ECU is downloaded. Then a CUSTOM program for your car is created in Austria and subsequently uploaded to your ECU.

The fact that the "Data Record" tampering message may appear is meaningless unless one can prove that this actually damaged the component(s) in question.

Unfortunately, as of right now, Porsche is waging was against these types of modifications. No printout, no warranty. Printout shows tampering, no warranty for powertrain components. Now if your A/C blows warm, DME tampering will not affect warranty coverage on that.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))

Basically states the use of an aftermarket part alone is not cause for denying the warranty. However, the law's protection does not extend to aftermarket parts in situations where such parts actually caused the damage being claimed under the warranty.

By Law, Porsche would have to prove that erasure of a data record caused the damage in question whatever that may theoretically be.
