I've seen it happen first hand.

Yep, ditto. I coded my car to add some BT related stuff (changed VO), and then made the mistake of asking the dealership to upgrade my i-STEP (or whatever it's called, the i-Drive firmware). It bricked the head unit, luckily they were completely clueless and installed a new one as the car was under warranty.
