Footwell Module Recall + Stage 1
Hi All,
Apologies if this has been answered already, could not find it through search.
Just trying to verify what the dealership has said to me (they have been wrong on some simple things before). They are saying if I want to replace the footwell module from the recall, it will 100% require a system update which will kill my stage 1 tune "No way around it" they say.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Would hate to lose my stage one...

Wow, mine only says they extended the warranty on it again out to 156k miles iirc. I didn’t know they had to do a whole system update for that, but if they do, I guess they do. Most tuners offer at least one reflash when you buy your tune, for exactly this kind of reason. Even if they do update the system, just have your tuner flash the tune back on it afterwards.

Good luck with it. Keep posting to let us know what they say and how it all turns out. I’m following this with interest.
