Re: Autotech Q-Chip

["John Hopkins" <vergeo@email.msn.com>]

The gas mileage was good at first but, now all I do is run the a/c.  As for
the car all is functional as if the car was stock.  If you took your car to
the dealer they would not know unless they went inside the ECU.  As for the
warranty my car only has 4200 miles on it.  When I go in for the schedule
dealer pit stops I will not take it out.  From what I here on the list
should they investigate and find the chip the only thing they can do is void
the ECU waranty.  You can take that chance or you can pull it out everytime
you go to the dealer(watch out for the static.)
