Yeah I didn't realise, and the salesman was like 'guess what? You got an MY17'. Changes are very, very minor it seems.

Very minor. I picked mine up about 2 weeks ago. Changes are the frameless rear view mirror and a revised pollen filter or something in the A/C. Plus the performance monitor gauges in the head unit. Otherwise identical to MY16

Excellent great to hear about the performance monitor being standard
Yeah, just need to work out how to retrospectively enable them for the MY16 cars now!
It may be possible. They've been working on pushing the Torque app details to the larger screens in the US:
As for the excitement over detecting a piggyback, it's safe to say that if anything goes wrong then a quick scan of the logs would indicate the car operating outside OEM parameters when things went wrong and they will know something's up. Just depends on the dealer: gotta pay to play.

Yeah pretty funny. I'm sure MK7.5 will be more comprehensive a change...
My initial impressions of the car are bitter sweet. Sweet because it's a very nice place to be sitting in the driver's seat, and it does everything remarkably well. Goes hard, even though I haven't let it off the leash while breaking it in still...
Bitter because now I am a bit ruined. Everything else I get into to drive just seems a little bit slow, especially off the mark. Frustratingly slow actually... When the JB1 is installed, it will be a case of lying on the floor in the fetal position just thinking about accelerating (or rather, not accelerating) away in anything lesser...
Tongue firmly in cheek of course - very, very happy with how it goes. Grip is prodigious in all conditions (as one would expect). Not sure how fast one needs to be going to get any kind of breaking traction from the Conti's in corners, but I imagine the license will be at risk if I attempt to find out.
But, seriously, pretty much everything else does seem pitifully slow by comparison. Damn, going to have to save harder for that R8 now... LOL
Haven't really noticed any great benefit from the pollen filter - and it's Spring. Thought everyone might like to know that...

Can you show cases where that has happened with the JB1 once it has been removed? If you are saying it is 'safe to say' i gather you have something to back up your comment.

Good luck with the "hard facts" backing up that statement, it's going to be a long wait.
But it doesn't surprise me anymore. Every time, in every forum in such threads there is going to be someone kindly reminding you of the amazing capabilities of modern computers and ecu's because "well, computers can log everything surely..." (and I don't argue with that in general).
Of-course when the question rises of whether this undoubted computers capabilities have ever been used to deny a piggyback user a warranty claim a mystery silence and/or change of subject usually follow...
Why do I need to provide evidence of anything? Its just useful to provide a little balance so that people with no knowledge don't get suckered into this pretend argument that it is not detectable. I don't really mind what you fit to your car, it's your car - your money.
Given the number of ECU tuned cars over the years that had warranty claims passed I still say it's down to the dealer. I never said anything otherwise but then again I get the impression some people, like those who apparently drive the greatest car in the world, never let facts get in the way of their story.
If you honestly believe it is undetectable than good luck.. when in doubt invoke the George Costanza lie detector theory.
