Ecutek has their own.

When the car gets a dealer flash update the dealer tools mark the ecu with a time stamp and thingy to know it was updated with dealer tools and not some after market thing.

It doesn't automatically update, only the dealer tool can update that special marker.

If you did go to the dealer for a flash update you would dump the rom send it to me and I would insert the tune on that OR just save it as your stock rom.

But the dealer isnt checking anything unless you come in broken - so you have nothing to worry about + friendly with one of my local dealers so
