So far as we know there is no way for a dealer to detect our flash on any 03 or 04 evo. (05's are a different matter)

Of course most other flashes use similar principles of operation so I would assume that they are equally undectable by the usual dealer equipment.

I know that Brandon was running another shops flash but I am sure that it also is not detecatble

In the only other case of a dealer "detecting" a flash that I heard of the owner had posted on the internet using his real name about the flash and his other mods and apparently his local mitsubishi service techs follow this message board and confronted the owner about it

I'd like to know more about what happened in Brandon's case for informational purposes

on all o5 cars - They can grab a CVN number from any OBDII scan tool which would tell then that the calibration has changed - (If the have access to the stock CVN listings to compare ) This dioe not effect model years 03 and 04 . Of course we still offer a free service to flash anyone back to stock who may need to send his car to a dealer for any reason
