Like the modder scene cares about warranties. Plus dealerships lack the ability to tell when a cpu has been modded (I have friends in the scene, the stuff I’ve seen them do with CPUs is impressive, dealerships don’t have a clue).
Some of these mods are an external box that simply feeds the needed data to the CPU. Remove the box, no problem. Some are done inside (for racing), and you’d be hard pressed to know anythings been changed. Some is just software - good luck proving that’s been changed if a cpu is dead (and dead really doesn’t happen).
Besides, warranties on car CPUs are virtually meaningless. My family/friends have been in the racing scene since the 60’s, and used some of the first electronic fuel injection systems, that were analog (talk about fun to troubleshoot). We’ve seen a grand total of 2 cpu failures in that time…(one probably from being abused) - these things just don’t die.
Don’t support the people trying to control everything with this “void your warranty” nonsense. People say this about phones too, it’s just a scare tactic.
maybe not but that’s the very small minority of car owners… plus you seem to be seriously underestimating software locks

it’s absolutely not a scare tactic. I am completely against this garbage trend but pretending we can all risk the warranty on a 60k purchase like car racers do is ridiculous
Haha, jokes on them, the modder scene there will hack that in 30 seconds.
sure, assuming that’s possible but you’d also lose your warranty

You, and only YOU, should own what you buy.
exactly… 100%
