In addition, a flash tune is not nearly as visible to the dealership when taking the vehicle in for service. However, if something major (engine, transmission, differential, etc.) does break, they very likely will find out and quite possibly will not cover it under warranty.
Rotzy is right and those engines aren’t cheap as we all know.
