You brought your car back to the dealer for the service campaign and left your piggyback plugged in? The problem will arise depending on the cause for issue and if it can be traced back or even associated with the piggyback. My Rebellion unit always comes out for all dealer visits.

For a service campaign I'd say you are fine. I have to bring mine back next week and will not remove my piggyback. The service clowns broke my radiator fan when replacing the turbo.

Dblock and Bmoney_ don't forget to update this post with how your visit goes. Every dealer is different but it's nice to get a feel for the general attitude toward tunes from MB dealers. I have yet to see any feedback on this posted anywhere for our cars.

We have never had an issue with a kit being left on for routine servicing.
It all depends what you are getting fixed, We have had some customers leave kits on during turbo replacements without issue so some comfort there.
However I would 100% advise taking it off for dealer visits though

MBWorld Fanatic!
Better safe than sorry. At the wrong place, a dealer can flag your car as status 8, which means any repair needs AOM approval. Not warranty voided, just a closer look.
