i thought that bluefin resets the flash counter now?

Don't think so, especially with the Bosch MED series of ECUs.  Every upload from the handset wil be recorded as a flash write to the EEPROM.

although i dont see why you would keep swapping maps unless you were taking it for a service, so it shouldn't really make much difference.

Warranty.  The flash count on your ECU is checked against the master database via the online link to VWAG.

They all leave a flash count.  However, sommat like Revo, where all their codes are loaded onto the ECU, they just make one flash count.  With Bluefin, each time you upload/download to/form the handset, a new flash count is added each time.

Dispite what they may tell you, there is no way round this on modern MED ECUs.  Only on the earlier types of ECUs is it possible to disable, or re-write the flash count.

Nope.  Only the stealer can do that, with a live hook up to Wolfsburg.
