APR's EMCS can't be reflashed by the dealers so no way for them to "deprogram" it.

Dealer will get an error if they try to flash an EMCS ECU on B5s. Can't write to it.

They can muck with the adaptation channels if they want, just like any other B5 ECU.

When I tried home programmer got something like"Bad PROM ID"

or something. Had to send it to APR to get redone.
Of course the dealer charged me $700 to diagnose that my chip was bad so I brought the stock chip back and they said oh it was just your battery.
yff
