I don't have too much experience with reflashes, just piggybacks like the aem fic. Also, has anyone had any issues reflashing back to stock in the event that they needed to have warranty work done at the dealer?? That's my major concern and deciding factor for these tuner softwares. Thanks in advance.
yes it is a button click on a laptop and it goes back to 100% stock.

Thanks for the reply bud. Do you know if there's any issues if any dealer warranty work needs to be done? Like will anything pop up showing that the ecu has been reflashed by an outside source?

not sure. I don't go to the dealership for work except when I did my steering lock recall and tranny fluid change since I don't have the proper tools for that.

however both times were after my tune with full exhaust, no cats, and intakes. nothing was said to me about it on the recall trip. the tranny fluid change was not warranty type work so nothing they really could have said then besides thank you for your money.

If the dealer really wants to check, I'm pretty sure they can find out. But it's not something they encounter regularly, so I'm guessing most don't look for it or wouldn't catch it. But if you're looking to file a warranty claim on any part of the engine, I bet they do

I've had a headliner replaced under warranty and they didn't say anything about my tune. I'm also in the beginning stages of transmission replacement under warranty and the dealer hasn't said anything yet.

considering they want to charge $200 to hit a button to upload new nav software I'm sure its not worth their precious time to check for a tune file in the ecu.....

fuckin hate dealerships.

$99 for the actual update and $99 for Nissan labor to press a fuckin button to load the file. Pretty messed up right? Wish I made $99 for 10 seconds of work.
