Default My dealer is either stupid or really cool

upon servicing my car, (which has APR and UUC stickers on it) they had no idea the car was chipped, and they used the VAG

Default Unless they drove it, they wouldn't have any idea.

VAG does not show the engine tuning.

Default Actually, that's not entirely true...

Older revisions of chips do indeed show themselves if you look at the correct VAG tool menu item; newer chips operate more stealthily.

<b>However</b>, one should always remove one's chip before taking your car in for service unless your dealer is chip friendly. Not because of potential warranty problems per se, but rather if they find some DTCs in the computer, they may decide to swap your ECU, meaning your chip would go away...
