Of VO Coding, ECU EEPROM and Warranty
Apologies if this question has already been asked..
I did perform a search but most related questions are several years old: On my F34 2017 (3GT Lci), I have made two changes over the last 1.5 years 1) Enhanced Bluetooth
2) Carplay
The car is under warranty till 2022 Q1 - Since I have added 2 new VOs, I suppose it is possible that some sort of a retrofit flag will pop up at the dealership next time the car goes for a service. I presume it would be worthwhile to roll back the changes to get the car back to the original FA? Q2: If I want to temporarily disable these changes before sending the car, do I just need to do the following:
Q3 - Once the car is back from service, DO i just need to update the VO codes again? Or do i need to re-add the FSC codes also? Q4 - Older electronics in the 90s / early 00s used to have finicky EEPROMs Too much tinkering around with the firmware could quite often result in dead chips that would refuse to be re-programmed anymore Now maybe I am being paranoid but I would rather take the risk of sending the car as-is to the dealership and take the relatively lower risk rather than flashing/re-flashing for a possibility vs the real risk of a dead ECU It is probably worth adding that the 6NH to 6NS change was done over a year ago after which the car has already gone for 1 service with no red flags - although it is possible that this service was just an oil change and the dealership would have had no need to read the HU_NBT2 ECU |
