Default 2nd ECU more trouble then its worth

Between the RF shield (chastity belt) and security bolts, it would be a big pain in the a$$ to swap out every time you went to the dealer. In the last two months I've had my car in the dealer three times, to replace the instrument cluster, the consol & now deal with the fuel gauge. A chipped ECU is pretty much invisible to detection, except for the physical modification made on the board (socket added). Once the ECU is reinstalled with new security bolts, it looks like it has never been removed.
