Tuning out AFM

What is the cheapest way to tune out the AFM?
Other than using the Range AFM module. Only want AFM out, nothing else at the moment.
Also, would this affect the dealer not doing anything at the shop if they saw the AFM deleted in any diagnose?

Thx

Buy the Range and keep your warranty.

That's my first choice, but dreading the issues that may popup with this device.
Hoping most the bugs have been worked out

Thx

We have tuned just over 3,000 late model vehicles and (with common sense applied) not had any legit warranty claims denied for any of our customers.

In the early days of more rampant AFM/DoD failure, we had maybe 3-4 2008-2009 G8s experience this and 3 2010 Camaro SS's. Every one of these cars had long tubes, mid pipes, CAI (and perhaps other bolt-on mods) and tuning. ALL of them had engines repaired under GM warranty. None of them were even looked at sideways because they had mods and programming.

I'm not saying that it CAN'T cost you warranty; but that it's highly unlikely unless it's related.
