OK,
The IX ecu is completely different from the VIII's in the fact that the VIII uses a 4 plug harness and the IX uses a 3 plug. The SAFC can be hokked up to the IX and it works well as we were the first to do this and report dyno tuning results. But there are no harnesses available so splicing into the factory harness is required. The dealer can detect an altering fo the factopry code if they really want to, but it takes an extra effort as they must query the final checksum of the ecu and see if it matches the factory checksum.....they wont know exactly what was change such as fuel, timing etc....but they will know its been altered which is all that matters......but honestly they dont look for it in our experience. Have fun with you ride.
