Can I chip a leased car?

A couple of weeks ago I got my XF. It is leased for 3 years. Could I chip it? Would that negate warranty or my lease agreement?

sure you can...

sure you can...just remove the chip before you turn it back in to the dealer. i have done this to two leased cars in the past...no problem.

Even if you leave it chipped no one will know. Unless they notice that it has more power than a stock Crossfire.

Once you install the powerchip, is there a way to go back to the factory chip settings? If I turned the lease back in with the powerchip, what's the worst that can happen?

I don't know about the chip from "Powerchip" but I do know that the "Upsolute" chip can be reversed very easily. Your Upsolute rep. downloads your original ECU file and saves it. He then Flashes a new chip with the new performance file and reinstalls the new chip. To reverse the chip he will reinstall your original file. You can go to www.Upsolute.com and it explains everything about the chip.
