I'm looking into getting a Ktuner for my 2020 si in the future, but am fearful of how it will affect my warranty. Since the ECU controls just about everything in the car, my biggest concern is if the dealer can tell it was tuned in any way, they would then be able to use that as leverage to deny any warranty claims they so choose regardless if the tune was actually at fault. I get that they need to prove an aftermarket component was at fault, but to what extents do they actually have to go to prove it?
I did some research and sifted through some helpful forums only to find vastly differing opinions about the subject along with misleading information. That got me to wonder what people's understanding were regarding the affects it has on warranty when they purchased the device/software to tune it. As a data guy, I was compelled to see how the numbers played out and what risks people are willing to take.
