Default Two dealers sell apr chips at time of sale....

Hawaii and scottdale. Scottsdale warrantees it privately, they charge an arm and a leg, but cover anything that would go that would not be covered under Audi warrantee.

Default No, Dinan does not work in conjunction with BMW...

...this has been done to death here, but Dinan works *only* with *select* BMW dealerships; installation of their stuff *voids* the BMW factory warranty, and Dinan *sells* an aftermarket warranty, at a price over and above the cost of their equipment.

Here's a post of mine from some time back which deals with this issue in more detail:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/470105.phtml">Dinan warranty post</a></li></ul>

Default Dealer said OK then said voided later.

My dealer said something similar, that a particular chip would not void the warranty but others would. Later, when my turbos went he said sorry things have changed, your not covered. Get it in writing or something.
