Remove Canzoomer before Dealer Servixce?

Question about taking car in for normal service interval... I've just put in the Canzoomer, now it's time for my regular service. I've had the gas tank blanket installed before I put the unit in and they flashed me at that point I guess.

So now should I take it out again? There is no problem with them knowing I have the unit, but ....Do they do anything to the ECU during normal service check that could harm the unit? What if they flash it again, can that harm a Canzoomer unit? Or should I just turn it off?

Confused Thanks.

I don't take mine out unless I'm having some serious work done to the car - where they may end up finding while disassembling things.

Normal service visits and even flashes are not a problem.

i don't understand the need too...

the dealer is not going to be logging your afr and any flash goes right into the pcm, not through the maf... not to mention at 0 rpm the e-manage doesn't even modify any signals anyway
