Of course, JB4 is promoted for having better maps and the ability to fine-tune parameters since it can read from the OBD port.
Both of these can apparently be seen by the dealer even after they are removed, so there is risk to your warranty.

But how can they see it? I thought the selling point of piggy backs was the whole "quick uninstall and no trace"
