The person who assisted me cautioned that if I ever visited the dealer, I should reverse this modification before any service, as there's a risk they could update the software and potentially cause issues with the car. I'm not entirely certain about the technical details of the process, so it's always been a precaution I've taken to avoid any potential complications when going to the dealership.

Edit: I’ve been told by somebody reputable that worst case scenario is they update and you lose the CarPlay. That said, I’m still not sure if that scenario would override/prevent your ability to do it again later.

All can be mitigated by avoiding the dealer.
