Ok so on Thursday my Sportline will go in for its first service. I have a BMS pedal tuner fitted. My question is 

A Leave pedal tuner in place

B Leave pedal tuner in place but put tune back to stock

C Remove pedal tuner from car before service.

 

Anybody had similar ?

Leave the box in place as it won't be noticed - unless you've excessively ramped up the response. 

I always leave in place but turn it off. 

Leave in place and tell the Dealership to carry out no diagnosis and carry out no software updates.

It's not detectable by a diagnostics test so he doesn't really need to worry if they run any, a remap is different.

In fact he might actually want them to run any pending updates for his car?

I agree.

Was there a reason you mentioned that @Roottoot?

@newbie69 Fair enough.  Just let them know that it is fitted then so that there is no confusion at the Service Desk or in the workshop. 

Let them know that Non Factory approved components fitted.

@newbie69   Why the reaction? 

Is it not common sense to reduce any chance of confusion at Dealerships.  'Simply clever'.

That's exactly what I meant: If he leaves it on the car as suggested, it doesn't make any difference if they scan the car or not. It's not a software map that would trigger the flash counter or would leave any other trace. So it only makes sense to either a) remove it from the vehicle completely   (safe approach)  or b) leave it on in a setting that does not make the car jump forward every time you touch the throttle (pedal box's aggressive setting) and hope nobody notices (most probable).  The request to not run updates does not ensure anything, apart from maybe missing something that would need to be carried out in his car, for example the passenger's dipping mirror update that fixes the issue with the mirror not reverting back to its set position after dipping.

That been said it's a 2 min job to remove and install, but I have dropped mine with it still connected in the past and nobody gave one, had warranty work carried out afterwards without issues, but that as I said might depend on how "enthusiastic" the dealership employees are.

For the  "let them knon non approved components are fitted", you're too serious today!

It is a 2 minute job for a fitter / valeter or even a tech to whip it off and pocket it and claim they know nothing. 

Never seen it, no idea what you are talking about.

 

Actually you can take things with a pinch of salt or spend some time working in garages and not just being a customer.

That would be fun! "What pedal box sir?? Do you mean to tell us you had fitted non approved equipment on the car??"  You lose your pedal box and your warranty with one shot...
