Right. You would have to flash a map in order to use the features.

When the Accessport is properly uninstalled using the "Uninstall" option from the main menu, the ECU is reverted exactly back to stock. In our experience, the dealership is not able to tell if the ECU has been flashed. However, with that said, the AP is not designed to go around any kind of warranty coverage and there may be diagnostics at a much higher level we are unaware of. At the end of the day, it really comes down to how your local dealer handles modifications to the car: some don't mind a few mods and others don't like any.

As others said this is a little misreading. They will simply check the key cycle and see your 2017 has 10 key cycles on it since last flash which most likely was at the factory 2 years ago.

It would also look the same as 10 key cycles since your last battery terminal disconnect which could have happened for a number of reasons. I think my statement is straight-forward but to make it more clear, if maintaining the warranty is a priority for you, don't flash the ECU.

Uhmm, that's the way it works on my 2017 Focus RS. If you disconnect the battery for several minutes to allow the capacitive volatile memory to bleed down, all that type of info is reset to zero. The way the dealer questions whether you "had" a tune on the vehicle is with the number of key cycles since last reset. The dealer can't read the previous tune data at all. Cobb is quite correct in their suggestion that if you're really concerned about your warranty, DO NOT install a tune. Pretty simple. The Cobb tune(s) aren't going to cause any engine damage, but other things may fail as they normally would and result in you wanting warranty service.

Basically, if you can't afford to pay, then don't play.

If the COBB CAI is installed on a 2017 model without the Stage 1 ECU Map, it will throw a code. However, the tolerances are lower on the 2018 model and the COBB CAI can be installed with the OEM ECU map. No word on the 2019 model yet and how it plays with the OEM ECU map.
