I've had very good success with simply telling the service advisor and/or techs working on it with "no updates, no coding, no flash" and they listened.

For warranty work especially, they will not do anything more than the bare minimum since they get paid by the labor hour.


Taillight replacement wouldn't require programming or coding.
