Can TT or SC be disable and enable at will?

Greetings:

Prior to install either TT or SC, I wonder if either one TT or SC can be disable prior leaving the car to the dealer for regular maintenance? I don't like the idea that some or all people at the dealer will have fun with my car at my expense.

Thanks.

With UpRev, you can have a valet map, thus limiting the RPMs to 3k rpm and speed to like 50mph.

I wouldn't send a car with a TT kit to the dealership though

Haha this is actually the first time I've ever heard a question like this.

You can't really disable any kind of F/I system. But if you take a F/I car to the dealership that isn't really smart.

With an uprev tune (need for both TT & SC), there is a valet mode like G37Sam said. It limits it to 14 mph and around 1500 rpms. It keeps them from "having fun" with the car.

On a side note, I have the GTM TT on mine and took it in to the dealership to have the idle adjusted. The service manager and a bunch of techs came out and watched it get worked on, were taking pictures and seemed really excited about it. The next week my tranny started to whine and I called them up, reminded them about the car, and they ordered me a new tranny and clutch under warranty over the phone without me even bringing in my car to have them look at it.

I think it all depends on the managment and service techs at your particular dealership. Maybe go in and ask a few leading questions to feel them out before you take it in.

Even if you could disable it they are still going to see it under your hood an you definitely cant just disassemble it before taking it to the dealer.

yea just click on upgrade, and install the stock settings. itll likely move you from an A class vehicle back to like D or F, though.
