I just had mine in last week for the tailgate and driver restraint firmware upgrade recalls. I just turned mine to setting one and had no issues.

Still have to take mine in for the driver restraint flash, good to have confirmation that I don't need to pull the Pulsar before doing so!

Lifetime warranty here. I wouldn't take it in w/ Pulsar installed if I was running any other air intake than I am. The AFE Momentum completely obstructs it from view, particularly so being lifted.

Just took mine in to the dealer for an oil change & driver restraint firmware flash. Left the Pulsar on but set to level 1 / stock. Did not remove the Pedal Commander, just turned it off via Bluetooth (mounted discreetly behind dash). No issues w/ PCM updating process.

To each their own....
I pull my pulsar and pc EVERY time I go to dealer. Takes 5 minutes for peace of mind.
Of Course I swapped obstructing S&B for a vararam for that very reason!!

Agreed, for maximum peace of mind.... pulling it before a dealer visit would be best but it's reassuring to know that should you choose to leave the Pulsar installed, it will not interfere w/ PCM updates or flag the tech's scanner. I figured the Pedal Commander had a pass-through circuit design as well so I rolled the dice w/ just powering it off, fortunately it was a good hunch.

I swapped from S&B to Vararam...much more space to access pulsar! I was refering to accessing the the pulsar to remove it NOT the air system on dealer visits
