Thank you!!

Do I need to remove the changes I made with my Tazer and remove it prior to having the dealer update my software?

I would unmarry and remove the Tazer beforehand, yes.

If you have a collaborative dealer, I would have them flash update your original and new ECM with the same files, as OS upgrades will make things apples to apples if for some reason you need to plug the stock one back in. I also emphatically agree in using a dealer replacement ECM as the purchased unlocked ECMS have had some unexplained behaviors that can slow or halt successful tuning.

Awesome advice will do. Going to contact my local dealer today. When talking to the dealership are there any tips or things to avoid mentioning like tuning and such?

I have done this multiple times at my dealer and they were curious as to why but ultimately happy to make the sale. Never have had an issue.

Dealer in CA quoted $265 to flash each ECM so about $528 for updated OS and $205 for a 2nd ECM. Does that sound about right and/or fair?

Yeah that’s about right. Hour shop time for each.
