Most probably mate yeah personally i have never brought into what the people who make these things say about being invisible when off they are going to be invisible when on also because the SDS is looking for x number of components in x different places its not seeking out new parts at all just locating the ones in its list.
I think where the importance of shutting it off really comes into play is situations like you experienced because the module could interfere with the messages being sent along the bus and stop things like coding from working properly i guess its a good thing if you don't want people doing stuff to your car say after a re-map or something as it looks like the module blocks it in fact i would put money on the fact.
Coding is really simple you just push the file along the network and then the control unit being flashed loads it up so i cant think of anything else it would be apart from the battery that has to be kept about 12V to allow it to work properly i am actually quite impressed with the module as i say if you had a re-map it would help you no end a bit of an insurance policy.
Anyways glad it went OK for you in the end mate i cant quite see why it took them an hour maybe they did not go back to work on it right away or something but i guess since your not paying for it it's not a problem it does wind me up when they charge you for not doing anything i remember with my old SL it was in for a new bumper because me being stupid tapped it into a bollard only slight damage to the bumper but decided to get it replaced as i am not a fan of filler and i asked about 1:30ish when it was going to be ready and the lady said the tech was on lunch but its real funny when i got the bill his lunch was on me thats when i totally stopped using dealers and started doing everything at the shop it means i sometimes have to wait longer for a free bay but its worth it.
