I've always come up with a "work around" but now I can't renew my registration. HELP. LOL.
How are they connecting to the OBD port? Wireless dongle or hard line? I've seen some tunes react 'slower' to the wireless dongles and time out. I went and had the car inspected at another shop with a hard line and it passed and the inspector said that it was the longest time he had ever seen it take to read OBD.

As for the tune with items tuned out to pass OBD and whether this will work, your mileage may vary depending on state and how they do it. Smart ones are looking to see if the code has been modified.
