I understand that the magnuson moss act refers to warranties but if you alter the ECU doesn't it void the warranty on the ECU? Thanks!

Yes it does void the warranty on the ecu. If you are worried about your warranty then I would recommend not molding anything your not financially able or willing to fix on your own. I had good luck with my dealership when I had a warranty and would take it in still flashed with my tunes and the dealer never cared, so it also depends on the dealership and if they are willing to over look things.

Point being that just because you mod you vehicle don't mean a dealer can automatically deny any warranty claims. No one ever spoke of powertrain warranty or Window motors specifically.

bottom line is if you're going to mod then just expect that any claim will be denied. you gotta pay to play so be prepared to pony up the $.

Sorry for resurrecting a month old thread.
I was reading up on nasioc, and the cobb user repeatedly exclaimed that the dealer would know when you flashed, but they wouldn't know if you flashed with AccessPort. So could you argue with the dealer that you just disconnected the battery because you were working on an electrical issue? Or for the newer models the dealers just automatically know that it was flashed with AP?
I'm guessing they would just try to ask you if you used AP?
