Do I Have to Declare a Remap to My Insurer?

Yes — any ECU change is a modification and must be declared. Not declaring it can void your cover and refund nothing if you claim.

Skipping this step is the single most expensive mistake a remapped car owner makes. Here's exactly how to handle it.

What if I'm only tuning for MPG? — Still declarable — the change to the ECU is what matters, not whether it adds power.

Does removing the map first help? — Only if it's genuinely gone. Manufacturer tools can show prior flash history.
