Will a Remap Affect My Insurance or Warranty?

Two of the most common questions we get: will a remap affect my insurance, and will it affect my warranty? Here's the straight answer.

Insurance: you should declare it

A remap is a modification, and you should always declare it to your insurer. Some are perfectly happy with it (sometimes for little or no extra premium), others less so — it varies by company. The important thing is to tell them: a declared modification is covered, an undeclared one could invalidate a claim. It's a quick phone call and worth doing properly.

Warranty: it depends

If your car is still under manufacturer warranty, a remap can affect cover on related components. Because our maps are fully reversible — we always keep your original file — many owners return the car to standard for dealer visits or before a warranty claim, then have it re-flashed afterwards. If you're under warranty, talk to us and we'll advise.

Why reversibility matters

This is exactly why we keep your stock file on record. Whether it's for insurance peace of mind, a dealer visit, or selling the car, your BMW or VAG can be returned to factory at any time. Nothing about a custom, dyno-proven remap is permanent.
