Flex fuel question

Question- after installing a flex fuel kit, the car is ok to drive as long as you stay on regular gas right? Does it need to be unplugged or anything? Just wondering how to get to the tuner after installation. I think I'm overthinking

No need to unplug. Flex fuel is disabled by default in the OEM tune.

With a flex fuel tune, you can run either 93 or E, the sensor reads the fuel and makes adjustments

The ECU simply ignores the sensor until a few things are changed in the tune.
