[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16594938, member: 116684"] I think what probably caught you is that they're able to tell the PCM was flashed at all due to something like a checksum change, even if it's restored to the base tune from the handheld. Now as you've seen, with the separate PCM you have to jack around with PATS, since you have to have the VIN, cluster, PATS, keys, all that match. But have you considered doing something like a chip? With a chip it doesn't modify or flash the PCM, it just has the PCM read from a different memory location instead of the stock memory. You could get a chip, put your tune on it, and then when you need to smog it, just remove the chip. Viola. Factory memory/tune has never been tampered with. [/QUOTE]
