can the dinan flash be sold after using it?
Hey guys and gals,
I wanted to see if let's say I get the dinan flash and one year down the road when I have to retirn my car can the dinan flash be reversed so the car is back to stock and then I can sale the flash??? With procede etc you have a module you can take off and sale... Can something of the sort be done with the dinan flash? Also, if I sale the flash at a later time, does the dinan warranty transfer to the buyer? Based on these answers I will make my appointment at the local dealer to have the flash done. TIA |

It can be reversed, although it seems pointless since you VIN is recorded. It is not possible to sell it. Both of these of major advantages of piggybacks over the flash. People never know it was there, and you can sell it.....

With another harness and firmware update, it would also be able to be installed on a Skyline GTR, EVO X as well as any watercooled (01 and up) Porsche 911 Turbo. Shiv |

Nope... Once you flash your car with Dinan or GIAC you are screwed son! You cant transfer the tune or anything, all you can do is have it removed from the car... $2000 down the toilet...

The flash cannot be sold but I'm wondering if the ECUs could be swapped.
This could be done on the MKV GTIs.

If all you'll ever need to change is the harness and software, I can see your point. |

I could put a piece of crap in a box and stamp warranty on the top... Will someone buy it for $2k... A warranty is only as good as the man who writes it. I have heard a lot of stories of people going to collect on the Dinan warranty and then being told that its a dealer problem and then the dealer says its a dinan problem, then you have to get a lawyer to fix your blown motor... F that! Just pull out your piggyback before going in for service and shut up...

You are a hypocrite... You are like one of the only people to SUPPOSEDLY get mistreated by Vishnu and now you are on some kind of crusade to God knows what other than annoy everyone on E90post with your rants... Please dude go get a life... Like i said i dont consider the Dinan tune warrantied, its just a sales gimmick to sell more flashes... When your dinan tuned motor blows lets see how fast you get it fixed... If a Procede person blows a motor and the dealer didnt know there was a procede BMW warranty will pick up the tab with no questions asked and even give you a loaner... Ask Dinan about their loaner program.
