My thoughts exactly. If you're truly worried about it just unmarry the AP from the ECU and reflash it once you get the car back (same goes for any tune, AP or ECUFlash).

Just spoke to Cobb. No Beta maps available at this time. ETA on 2011 maps is 3-4 weeks. Not long at all!

The only thing that I would worry about is the dealer overwriting the ECU. Sometimes manufacturers come out with ECU updates. If the dealer installs an update, it will erase the tune and the AP won't recognize the car! It's happened before, and it's a pain, since the customer has to send their AP to COBB to get reset.

So these maps that were suppose to come out in December will not be out until Feb? That sucks, but I know it will be well worth the wait.

What is the solution for this ? Unmarry the AP before sending it the dealer ?

Because I agree that they will look for intakes / exhausts etc... first

You are right, justl simply unmarry the AccessPORT. When it's unmarried, even if they update the ECU there wouldn't be a problem.

It's not about detecting a flash or not. It's about having the dealer to override the flash with their mitsubishi factory flash update so they screw up your AP flash.

I was asking how to avoid that. And best method is to unmarry the AP like Chris said and just flash it back when you get the car back from the dealer. Like a lot of people have said, they will check at all the new piping / intake / exhaust before losing their time on trying to find a flash.

And if I was a dealer (not if I was, how they act sorry) they wouldn't care if it's tuned or not because if you blow your engine they will say it's your intake

Because Chrysler cares if you sue them. Mitsubishi does not.
