I keep this in my "Macan Reference" folder should I ever need to bring the vehicle in for a drivetrain related failure. This should be the solution to what you're looking for.

They can see the engine performance history but they can not prove what caused it if the box is removed the history wiped as described above. The warranty is 100% safe.

There are some Porsche/VW/Audi dealership selling and installing these and other tune boxes.

would this also apply after removing a Cobb tune?

No, a full tune that flashes the ecu would leave a permanent flash record and there is no way around that to my knowledge.

Dealerships don't provide the warranty, Porsche does, so any dealer covering drivetrain malfunctions while tuned are either doing it through a separate dealer warranty or somehow fraudulently concealing that the vehicle was modified when they send the into for Porsche to examine for warranty coverage.

It honestly doesn't happen much. A VW dealership near me is also the largest APR dealer in the area. They have tuned many VW, Audis and Porsches. I do not know of a single warranty claim or issue. Modern tunes done by the right people are super safe and completely reversible.

Other dealers use the piggyback boxes. Occasionally those will throw codes when pushed to max but can be simply dialed back a bit and then all good.

Good to know!

I did the flat6 induction system but with Cobb filters because of fit issues I'd read about with flat6 filters.
install is simple enough that even I could do it myself. i also applied their stage 1+ ECU map, which they say takes advantage of higher airflow. definitely noticed a difference over the stage-1 alone, though i can't say how much of that was the intake vs. the filter vs. the 1+ map.
I love that it growls more, even though my passengers always think the engine's about to blow up.
