GIAC Flash and Dealer Car Programming

Hi,

If I get a GIAC flash and the dealer has to do subsequent programming down the road (ie for a warranty fix/electronics issue) do I need to have the GIAC re flashed again?

(searched but could not find anything..)

Not sure if this true for all GIAC dealers, but I know some will flash you back to stock, and then back to the GIAC tune, for no extra charge.

Yes this is the downside to flashes, cannot remove/install yourself until a reasonable hand held loader comes out
