DME offered to retune the car but I had already decided to sell the car so I took it to the dealer to have oem downpipes installed. I then sold the car. Lesson learned.
Yes, that is a problem

You'll need to disable the over-the-air programming after you do tuning.

It takes 30 seconds to do in the settings menu on the car.

But if your ECU is already up-to-date its not going to immediately attempt to flash back to stock.

It should only be looking at the software version, if the software version if out-of-date it'll want to update.

We always try and tune using the latest software version to help avoid things like this.
