Default Well based on how the guy at Audi was talking it seemed like it could be true

he told me if anything goes wrong its because of the head unit, since its connected to the alarm and the "entire electrical system" is all connected

Default You mess with your head unit and your head unit breaks,

they may not cover it, unless you recode it back to stock. You mess with your head unit and your turbos blow, and you're not chipped, I can almost gurantee they will cover your turbos...that is unless you had an N'Sync CD in the head unit. I think at that point they deny ANY service completely.

Default Only D-Bosed units void warranty.

We all know the Bose system filters out harmful boost peaks, and regulates fuel flow.

I just love the warranty paranoia!
