mistake ?? you gotta admitt taking a stock clk 320 from 218 to 231 Hp sounds very palatable ... obviously the first issue that come to mind is warranty voiding . I assume it will.... yes ?<br> My next question is is it something you can pop in and out (for those dealership visits )<br> <br> Second is does it mess with the engines set up too much . in sort is it worth while ..<br> Any risks?<br> any thoughts ???

i do if .....

it damages my car !!! Chips can reek havoc on your car if they are not programmded correctly . So back to my original questions .... any one out there REALLY know ??<br> <br> 1. warrant void?<br> 2. easliy removed for shop visits<br> 3. any known damage to ECU etc ....<br> <br> thanks ...

1. If the dealership finds out, yes...but they won't...

because the original chip is used. It has the same stamped #, vin codes in it, etc. This is why it is stealth. For all intensive purposes, when the dealer hooks up their diagnostic laptop, they can't tell.<br> 2. You can't remove it because the newer chips are soldered on, not eprom type that pop in and out. <br> 3. If your chip is damaged, they will burn the maps onto another $20 chip. They download the existing program on your chip as a backup, in case you want it back to stock. Re: ECU, I haven't heard of ECU damage due to chip reprogramming.<br> <br> I had upsoluted my E430SE and I'm not worried about it. If something happens that I feel the dealer would fool with the ECU, like pinging, engine backfire, etc., I'd have upsolute reburn my stock program onto the chip first. But for A or B service, no way will it show on the laptop.

knowledge is power..... thanks techbike (more)

didnt know they use the oem chip .That makes all the differnce and your expalination makes sense .... i did find an upsolute message board and there are lot of folks on there that are having problems like smoke, rough idle etc ... just not sure its worth it ..... but ive got the right info to make a choice so its on me ...<br> <br> cheers
