It's certainly possible I'm insufficiently informed so I was wondering if you're speculating or stating a fact that it does more through OBD II than merely read?

Thanks!
fair statement- I don't have specific knowledge of the OBDII connection that burger uses and if its passive or not, but I would suspect the moment you do any of their "advance tuning" , which would run thru the OBD, then that "flash counter" that detects any changes would be tripped and out the window goes your warranty. Again, speculation on my part but seems logical
I'm doing all of their advanced tuning except meth, there's no breadcrumb trail. My vehicle received an extensive software update—nothing.
