Hondata FlashPro for 2019 RDX
Has anyone tried the Hondata Flash pro yet. Seems like a great performance upgrade that delivers 36 lb-ft more mid range torque and 28 more mid-range horsepower in Sport and Sport+ modes for $695 and appears to be warranty friendly.

I think he was just guessing, hence the "appears to be" phrase. I would agree the dealer would have cause to cancel the warranty if they knew the ECM had been reflashed, but I consider that the cost of doing business. If that Hondata tune (or another) cranks things up well enough, plus gets rid of some of the throttle response lags, I'm in.

The dealer cannot cancel the warranty or refuse to service a problem under warranty unless they can prove it was caused by the tune. The Hondata stage 1 and even stage 2 tunes are very modest and should not cause any issues with the engine or drive train.

You're dreaming if you think a dealer won't care. You'll be SOL with any powertrain issues. They don't have to prove shit.

I wouldn't throw another ounce of power at this new A10. Knowing Honda, this auto trans is likely already at its limit.

They actually do have to prove you tampered with something. If the transmission just went out, they can't deny the warranty. If they can prove you flashed a tune (which, from what I'm told, there will always be a memory of you flashing it, even if you flash back to stock), then yea, you'll be SOL.

I've spoken to both Hondata and Ktuner, they both say that if you flash back to stock it is undetectable. They say they have the same software as the dealer and you can't tell. Now having said that, that doesn't mean that Corporate Hondacura might not have a way to check.
It looks like Ktuner will have a beta version out soon of their tune for the 2020 RDX if anyone is interested.
