I think people are more intrigued by why you would do that.

FWIW, my dealer service advisor asked me if I ever thought of chipping and offered to do it.

Default I know a guy who had the dealer install an MTM.

Pros: He didn't have to get his hands dirty.
Cons: He just threw his warranty into the trash can....the dealer's trash can. Oh...and he paid the dealer for the use of that trash can.

Just because the dealer installed it, does not mean that AoA will look any differently at warranty claims.

Default There are a few dealers that have been known to do it in the past...but it is not wise to name them

Email me if you want some that might be mod friendly...
