Tune friendly extended aftermarket warranty?

I got my warranty voided for having a flash tune.

Are there any aftermarket warranties out there for like $7k that give me some kind of protection from my entire tranny/engine blowing?

Which company tune were you running? Also did you notify or leave the tune in while taking the car in for service?

Never mind just saw your other thread. Sorry.

OE Tuning through MyGenius

I left it in but I'm not sure it mattered. They checked so that leads me to believe they could have also checked how many ECU_PROGRAMMING diagnostic sessions were open on the device.

Did MB voided the entire bumper to bumper warranty or just the engine/tranny warranty?

Any warranty claim a dealer will ever make on my behalf needs to be "reviewed" and it needs to be "proven" that the "performance enhancing software" was not directly or indirectly related to the defect in question.

The one where I'm an idiot where I:

1. show up to the dealer with my stage 1 map on instead of stock
2. admit to my service advisor I was exploring the options of having my car tuned / might have admitted it is tuned (I was introduced to this "crooked" dealer + service advisor through a local tuning shop)
3. accused the dealership of punching a pin sized hole in my air cooler/heat exchanger to drum up business for a "fraudulent" $3k repair

After I accused the service advisor of that, they had no trouble "sticking it to me" because I was rude and voided my whole warranty.

There's gotta be some company out there for $6k-$7k I can pay to have catastrophic "my tranny exploded" insurance, no? Maybe I'm sitting on a good business idea... until it's payout time and everybody has blown trannies! :P
