Does it code out cold start
Does it cause potential warranty issues

Sorry for the late reply here,

Flash tune is just a way to distinguish this particular type of tune, rather than a 'piggyback tune'.
The piggybacks work by plugging into a few sensors in the engine bay and fooling the engine into running higher power.
The flash tune is a remap on the ECU, it's much more comprehensive as we're able to access a lot more info and parameters.

Yes we can code out cold start
If the flash tune is discovered while making a warranty claim there could be issues. I always recommend flashing back to stock before making any warranty claim (we make a backup and keep your stock file prior to making any changes)
