Anyone come across this before?

Have you informed the insurance? If I was the car examiner first thing I would do is look at the engine modules, module upgrade bong no pay out.

It is going into the dealer in early April for discs and pads so I will ask them not to connect it to VIDA.

Hi Bob

If you are in contact with Matt you are in good hands! Yes you will need to crack your CEM Pin code overnight first, the times I have done this it took around 14 hrs, the really neat part is you get an email when it's completed!

Cheers Simon

When I had my 850 T5 chipped I informed them. They said 'Thank you' and noted it on my policy records. The premium didn't go up.
