OBDII "DO NOT REFLASH" Cover - Where can I get one?
Have you guys seen these? They are little covers that say something like "Do not reflash" or something like that. I saw them on a forum somewhere but can't find them now.
Thanks for any help

I dunno, but that's a cool idea! Might have to look into that.

Mine are totally custom. Really sweet. You can buy em at your local anything store.
Look like this: http://halfbackflanker.files.wordpre...postitnote.jpg Or, you can take thick thick contruction paper. Punch holes in it. Laminate. Zip tie it to cover the port. When done, cut zip ties, and away you go. Better yet, don't take it to a dealership !!!!!!!!!!!!! Support your local independant mechanic. Find a good local guy, who works on these things. You can tell him, and he will LISTEN. You usually talk directly to the guy who works on your vehicle, vs. talking to a guy, who tells another guy, who lets another guy know to tell the Mech. Absolutely no reason to visit the dealership. They are always more expensive, and I just don't trust the guys working at any dealer. Usually 1-5 are GREAT, and the other 20 couldn't tell you the difference between a screw or a bolt. I would want to actually meet the guy who turns the wrench. Support your local small business !! Ok, I wont keep ranting !

I agree w/you MercedesT but I have an extended warranty. Only reason why I'm going back. I do have a friend who typically is my mechanic if I can't do it. I support him w/
 My hvac thread was my horror story w/the dealer. They were one of the 20 Oh yeah, I found a site too for the cover. I think you could buy them in bulk and sell them w/the tuners or give aways or whatever. http://www.ac3.ca/

right on man. Just so you know, most if nto every, independant mechanic can work on extended warranty work. The only warranty work we stay away from, is your first warranty (3years/36k). After that one, most extended warranties are out sourced to an insurance company. i do extended warranty work on Mercedes all the time. Just so ya know.
And good beer is always the best way to get a mechanic's attention !! I work for beer, thats for sure ! ha ha |
