    AllStar Tuning will have a mazda reflash that comes with 3 tunes, 1 of them being the standard stock tune, you would use that before a mazda service then change the tune back after the service. Im still a bit sus though that mazda could still tell you've tampered with the ecu. I have a 7 year warranty, thats why im warey.

    I actually spoke to a straight up guy "Off the record" from Mazda servicing & he said they plug into the MMDS everytime theres a service on an MPS and "YES" they can tell when the ECU has been tampered with, even by flashing back to original ECU settings. He also stated that once Mazda would find out, they would most likely blame everything that goes wrong mechanically on the Dyno Tuning. Stuff that! Looks like i'll have to wait for another 4 years 😒

    Meh I got my car tuned 6 months after I bought it. You just need to accept that if you bend a rod then you might have to foot the bill for it. For me the extra risk was well worth it. Just weigh up the risks for yourself.
