Default ECU & Warranties - Any takers for similar liability with Audi? AMD?

-----
I just received this from Don @ Evolve


From Swedespeed:
As for warranty specifics, EVOLVE warranties all its products. Volvo has agreed that installing EVOLVE products will not void your factory warranty alone, but if any of our products damage your vehicle or cause failure, it is EVOLVE's liability. With that said, we consider ourselves responsible to cover any unexpected damage or failure caused by our products. It is not our objective to hide our Software Upgrades from authorized dealers but to work with them to best maintain your system. The ECM should retail for $1190.

Audi IS NOT Volvo. The thinking at Audi is much different. ECU upgrade... Bye-bye warranty.

Default We make very clear to ALL customers that when a car's ECU is modified....

You can say goodbye to your warranty...

This applies whether or not the ECU is reflashed or if the chip is removed and replaced.

This of course can also depend on the type of relationship you have with your dealer...

If you need any further information, please feel free to call on 347-866-1120.

Best wishes,

Ram

Default Dinan

Isn't the relationship between Dinan and BMW upgrades similar to Evolve/Volvo above?

When your warranty's expired? Or will you even keep the car that long?
