Default APR Chip and dealer recognition
I have the APR chip with two programs, and security code. The question I have is that if I lock the car in the stock boost setting and bring the car into service, can the dealer see the car is chipped with the VAG. Or do they have to open the ECU up and actually see the chip?

They can tell it's a different chip from the workshop code. Otherwise they have to open it up.

Default yeah, well, there's an option to have your own WSC already in place, or, vag-com can
automatically recode with the original wsc on the module

btw, your mailbox is full

You'll want to stay OEM if you can.

Can the dealers tell if you have a chip? Specifically an APR chip.
