Like I stated, I bought the tune, and I did installed the CAI.
I download the file to be transferred to the ECU but I am not sure if I can install from my laptop.
I need feedback before trying it...
Thanks.
Ps: I bought from Levittown Ford for $500

It has to be installed by someone certified or you lose your warranty. Same thing with the CAI.

Really? You don't think any dealer will be ok if I installed the CAI myself? It took me 3 hours ( I know...ridiculous but very cautious to do all perfectly) to install...and now I am hosed if they don't accept...

Step one before buying parts and tunes for a car - do your research.

Assuming that it gets installed by a "pro", how does Ford ESP view these kits? Will they still remain warranty compliant or is it only from the original Ford warranty?

I have right at a year left on 3/36 and am debating whether to add the ESP or not

*currently slogging through that giant thread in bolt on mods subforum but havent seen it addressed yet.

The dealer was fine with me installing the intake myself. I took my laptop to the car, hooked it up, got the account and the software and downloaded the calibration file.

Took all of it to the dealer and they just put it on a battery charger and clicked the "program" button and babysat it. It took them a few tries because the program quits if the battery goes below 12V. I got charged one hour of labor for it.

Well Ford has final say in warranty claims, not the dealer.;)

I'm expecting my kit tomorrow. I've already arranged with an ASE certified mechanic that I will do the work while he babysits the operation. As long as your paperwork is in order the warranty will be no problem.

I installed my own with FP Intake and Tune. I have had no issues from FP or my dealer. I used my MacBook with the ProCal app to install it. It's very easy if you can operate a computer.

Well yeah they dont care if u do it yourself, you just cant register for the warranty and if anything goes wrong u can be potentially screwed from both places. FP does not just take your word that a shop installed it, you need actual documentation and send it to them right when u have a shop do the installation. Of course its super easy to do ourselves, but for warranty purposes a shop has to do it sadly.

Thanks for the info.
I got all installed at a ASE shop and I am not lost in how to submit the paperwork to Ford. If you know how and what I have to sent, I appreciate it.
Ps: I got the receipt from the shop, stating what was done and I got the ASE shop #. I took one step further, and took a picture of the ASE certification.
