However I wonder with Audi's new policy associated with the TD1 flag if the dealer will connect a potential trade-in to their system. Otherwise they are on the hook for the reflash or selling a car without a factory warranty.

Audi flagging is usually messing with the codings, such as speed limiter, VAG-com coding. CarFAX only show accidents and services done by the dealer which is correct. but there are some accidents that insurance does not post up on the carfax. Honestly thou, if you had your car tuned different from a stock car the test driver from Audi will not even notice. for an example when i traded by Honda Civic Si in, the car was still tuned, no rev hang or rev limiter but i did remove the tune before the car was dropped off. They did not know at all. Even left the header in there lol
