    The only time they show is if the dealer tries to reflash with their stock map it will say 'are you sure you want to go over the current map'.
    so if you set it to standard before hand it would be completely undetectable?

    Totally, unless they played with the cruise control stick (in the case of APR).

    Get the security code from APR and the dealer cannot change settings using the cruise control without your secret code. It becomes completely undetectable. Will even prevent the dealer overwriting your maps.

    The security code is done through the cruise control stalk too, so they would be able to tell if it's on there as well.

    APR reinstate their tune for free if it is overwritten, so it'd be better to not alert the dealer rather than not let them.

    You'd probably have to ask the dealer, Guy told me about the APR thing.

    i bought the car 2nd hand with the APR tune already there.... do you reckon i would be able to get it done for free (if anything happened) seeing as i don't have the receipts? i have the manual in the glove box , thats proof!

    They'd have a record of VIN number I believe, so yeah.

    Anyone have the site link for GIAC?

    APR is pushing a head for me service just seems better have ruled out REVO
    Is there even a GIAC dealer in Melbourne?
