PCNA is like the insurance adjuster when the engine goes bad, They can and will dig as deep as they like to void the warrentee, although you could always flash it back and remove any change of detection as others have mentioned.
This has been discussed forever but even if ECU is flashed back to stock, I believe that Porsche can determine that the ECU was modified previously.

According to softronic this is not true.

As long as you restore your original file, your car is exactly that, on it's original file.

As such Porsche can't detect jack!

I imagine a program writer such as softronic would know best, Afterall they have the knowledge to write the programs

I guess its just a matter of it being worth the coin

Upgrading the software, gains are in fact very noticeable (22-24hp & 16lbs tq). Additional features are increased throttle response, removal of hesitation/flat spots, and increased exhaust volume. Forum member, mikli, is very satisfied with the tune.

These are substantial gains, What are you asking for such a softwear flash for gt3 997.1?

I may be in the market and does this require sending in the ecu? or.?

jabed92694 is infamous around these parts
Is your car a 3.6 or 3.8? Is it still under warranty? What Software are you going with and are you going to dyno before and after?

Warranty is with Porsceh...NOT...the dealer. tampering with your ECU will void your power train warranty. It's as simple as that...don't believe me...call Porsche Cars North America in Atlanta and ask them...I did!
