No. I have purchased two and they work great, ecu's/chips do not wear out.

Default Is APR the only one that offers flipswitch?....

I'll be driving my car for work a lot and want to keep it in stock mode but I want to be able to switch to chipped from inside the car. Any other options?

Default GIAC X also can do that, but the upgrade is hard to obtain, ask AWE

if it is avaliable (it wasn't about three months ago, NOT AWE fault), probably best to go with APR if you want to switch back and forth.
