    Question Savvy causing check engine light?

    I just took my 2015 wrx to the dealer after the check engine lights came on several days ago (and for regular service among other things). Well I got a call stating that the issues were fixed, and that the check engine light was a result of two (2) issues. One was a mechanical problem that was fixed. The other, the service rep stated, was a result of the savvy being plugged in. Now I have had the savvy in the vehicle for about 2 months so far with no problems, so I am leaning more towards it just being a coincidence. I am just looking for any others with this type of experience so I can decide if i should continue to use it or not. Thanks.

    Judging by the lack of response, i am guessing nobody else has had Savvy cause a CEL. I assumed this was not an issue, since as soon as i picked my car up from service, 10 days ago, i plugged my Savvy back in and have had no problems.

    Good to hear. Did they manage to pull any fault codes off?
