I wouldn't screw with coding if you don't already have all the crap to go along with it. It's not much though. My Autel does it, but that was also $5,000 hahaha.

A tune is a fantastic way to get past it. I would personally recommend a DME tune, but a piggyback will technically work as it simply tricks the DME into thinking it's making less power than what it really is.

It's completely safe, but it's the same tune for any car, one with tons of carbon buildup, maybe a turbo on its way out, etc.. or one that came off the showroom floor with 100 miles. It's tuned for the one with 100 miles.

DME tunes are generally datalogged to your car. I had Velocity AP tune my Range Rover and it was a back and forth where they changed the map for my exact car.

I had a piggyback on my MINI Cooper S, it definitely added some punch! And it was always safe. But that car had 10,000 miles when I installed it. It performed differently when it had 50,000 miles.
