i) Will getting car remapping services will affect my warranty? 

Since car remapping services will replace the ECU of a vehicle, it will affect the warranty of your engine. In addition to this, car remapping will also void your clutch as well as gearbox warranty.

Usually, the car manufacturer warranties can clearly state the modifications to any car component that are not approved by the OEM will void their warranty. 

ii) Can OEMs check to see if the car remapping is done? 

Most diagnostic equipment in the dealership garages are not very updated and modified to detect the car remapping changes being done. This is a good thing. A dealership will not be able to detect any fault codes if they plugin to the diagnostic tool. In our experience, 99% of cases go undetected by OEM.
