So what is all the discussion about the flash count not matching GM's records. People don't have to go to GM for everything. And in my state they check the emissions via the OBD2 port very year. Or every time someone gets a code and they check it at Autozone. There is no way GM can account for how many times the port has been accessed.

I always understood that they can read how many times the ECM has been flashed. Not just scanned.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... I run Torque on my Android phone through a Bluetooth OBDII connector a lot so that count must be up in the hundreds by now if that's the case lol.

You should be able to hit that pretty easily with a good tune to go with it.

This would change my decisions drastically on what I'm going to do to my car.
