a properly designed and engineered piggy back unit will never "defeat" the "pre-set" factory limitations set by the ECU. What is "sees and records" never changes. at WOT for example there are preset boost "limits" the ECU will expect to see. while a piggy back unit may alter the "signal" being sent from the sensor connections, the ECU itself still only "sees" those limits, therefore nothing is actually ever changed from stock. However in case of the JB4 unit for example, if you plug into the OBDII port , it can leave a fingerprint trace that something was altered if any changes are done thru it. Just trying to give some additional info on how they work etc. |

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! Last edited by limeypride; 02-20-2020 at 08:24 PM.. |

On the warranty question, yes, they're correct—as is mentioned here frequently: you pay to play. |

I want to add that it helps to have a good relationship with your dealer. Mine is cool with removing the race chip and putting in the dummy plug before any service or programming.

Agreed, one's dealership is a paramount to a healthy relationship with our beloved vehicles. The rub occurs when a problem arises and if the dealer knows there were mods and/or BMW USA finds out and needs to be involved (major drivetrain component failure etc), then all bets are off. BMW's new cost chopper CEO's attitude will certainly not help matters in the least.
