I think I read that you can preprogram the ECU but always change it back to stock since it will copy the stock settings first.
I wonder if this would show up on a Dealer inspection at all or if the ability of changing it back clears everything and is back to stock settings?

The ECU records "Run hours since last reflash".
They will check that value vs. the last service stop recorded on your VIN. If the Miles and Hours don't make sense.. they have a good indication that you have flashed the ECU.
Piggyback is undetectable in this manner.
I got this information from an engineer at Daimler-Chrysler that performs these checks in an attempt to void/validate warranties on vehicles.
I have a buddy that runs the accessport 1 on his wrx, I have seen it and played around with it it's great , you plug in , it uploads your stock settings and then you download whatever maps they have available for your vehicle.....it does store other fuel maps from a tune shop : say if you take it to a dyno and they test and tune, you can save those setting on it....from map to map it's like 20 seconds. When it becomes available I will be getting it...plus there is no wiring in, just plugs into the obd2.
^^^read the post above yours.
read what? so it voids the warranty....I mean who are we kidding , who modifies their car with a realistic expectation of warranties. I put about 20-25k miles a year so by the time my car has reliability issues there wont be a warranty.
I think of it as "rolling the dice". It's kinda like if your computer recorded that you redline the engine every other day how is that any different. Warranties have a looooooooooong fine print.........sorry I just had to say that ....there are risks involved in everything we do to this car from mods to treatment...can't win em all.

the subaru ones run $695
no it doesn't... I've reflashed many different mazdas before including the sophisticated ones used in the CX-7 and I've also read the logs of the mazda scantool, it doesn't show s*** other than the flash build
once cracked, it's very easy to hide data in other/unused parts of the ROM
yes it does but it's hard to prove it's there or the car has been chipped..... it's hard for even subaru techs to find out that the customer has installed an accessport before it's too late (there's this recall that calls for ECU replacement on certain subarus, and since accessports are married to a specific car, you have to unmarry it first before you can change the ECU)!

Im pretty sure that cutting up your harnes wires to install your XEDE may void your warranty.
Well, I did say that the guy I talked to was a rep for Chrysler. If the Mazda ECU doesn't record run hours.. then the COBB accessport sounds like an awesome investment.
