Will the dealership know I installed a HIKEIT Throttle Controller on my vehicle?

We recommend HIKEIT Throttle Controllers are temporarily removed when you visit your dealership. If you remove it prior to a visit they will not know any upgrade has been installed or used.

We can understand you don’t want to risk your maintenance warranty program on a new car, but that means now you don’t have to wait years to customize your car and get the value of HIKEIT Throttle Controller right away.

When a dealer completes a repair or maintenance schedule, the process they do is a scan the vehicle’s ECU (engine control unit) to see if anything has changed. Other aftermarket products and programs will leave red flags on the ECU after installation and will stay there even after being removed. These red flags are what causes the dealership to void your claim.

HIKEIT Throttle Controllers are 100% UNTRACEABLE by them. Just make sure before going in for service you power down the device, and hide it away (we advise to remove it from the car).
