Angry-cop · 10-06-2008, 09:17 PM

So Im getting my oil changed tomorrow at the dealer and they are also going to reflash my ECU with the new subaru software....I just uninstalled my AP that i have been running perrin stg 1 on.. I also just updated my AP firmware to 1.1.4.2.. so after the dealer is done tomorrow i want to just throw the perrin back on there.....Will i be ok?

Your car will spontaneously combust....

Nah, you'll be fine.

I think they will know that you reflashed the ecu. But other than that you should be ok. From what people say on here the new flash takes the balls out of the car. So I would install the AP again!

^^ I actually prefer the revised stock tune, but that's just me.

Angry-Cop...if it were me, I would drive around for a bit prior to dropping off the car to try and get the DAM to 1.0. Also, isn't the latest firmware update 1.2.8???

Its about a 10 to 15 mile drive to the dealer so hopefully that will do it.... and you are correct i just turned my AP and the firmware is v1.2.8.2

Well I reflashed right before I brought it in with a blown motor and they didnt say a thing and just replaced the motor. The flash had nothing to do with it though, still nothing came up...But follow the previous advice I probably just got lucky.

I uninstalled my AP as I was waiting for the service advisor to do his thing and reinstalled before I drove away from the dealer. No issues, no questions.

Ditto. Uninstalled and reinstalled in the dealer parking lot...no issues whatsoever.
