Nor should he be lectured on warranty if he has already accepted the fact that he will loose it. It is up to him if the benefits out weight the costs, not anyone else.
Has he though? I don't see anywhere where he says, "I understand that this will void the warranty, and I choose to do so as it is my vehicle and I am making the payments," or anything to that effect.
Maybe, just maybe, he has NOT considered the fact that chipping/programming will void the warranty on his engine? Maybe he believes the advertising hype where they make (FALSE) claims that their product cannot be detected and will not void the warranty?
ANY questions or suggestions that might make the OP think about something he has not yet considered are fair game. Especially, if it may cost him significant amounts of money. And, we really have no idea what the OP has taken into consideration because he does NOT say what he has taken into consideration.
Oh and big whoop, "other" parts of your warranty are still honored. The most valuable part of your warranty, where the most expensive repairs will occur, is NOT. Wow, you got a scuffed lug nut replaced under warranty? What's that a $20 part? Yippie. Enjoy paying $15000 to have the injectors replaced.
