28/07/06 07:46 AM28/07/06 07:46 AM #2 I'd like more information on this.I've seen a WDS/PDS hooked to my ute with edit numerous times and they function together perfectly and no strange 'not verified by ford' codes came up.
28/07/06 07:55 AM28/07/06 07:55 AM #3 I bet he has a BFalso under consumer law, they CANNOT void the car entire warranty.Ford have to prove that the Edit was a direct cause of the breakage.The problem is Ford like to bluff us and then make us go legal to prove them wrong.

28/07/06 08:26 AM28/07/06 08:26 AM #5 the edit displays a certain code (not sure what it is) and if the dealer susspects anything and calls Ford they can then inform the dealer if it has been edited, BA or not

Mine doesn't.

Mine doesn't.←so even if u flash it back to stamdard tune befor service they can still tell
28/07/06 08:54 AM28/07/06 08:54 AM #10 that was told to me by a ford tech, most dealers dont know what it is or even to look for it, but if they find it and are a bit sus about things, all it takes is a call to Ford and they will find out
