That said, when there is a catastrophic engine failure with warranty involved, it would be a good idea to remove any mods, not just the flash, from the vehicle.
No, it's not likely free(that is up to your local GIAC dealer) as there is labor involved, not just a plug-in and download(even this involves a flat rate charge of 1/2 to 1 hour of labor time).

That's not true though. There are already a handful of tuners that can flash fully via OBD after an initial benchflash. MP and ACF are two examples. |
As an ACF customer myself I can confirm that I can have my DME flashed remotely via OBD.
