So Mr Cynical here, decided to go for this remap. Spoke to Jason a few months back and he said this would soon be available. I liked the idea – just pick it up and you can get on with the remap yourself, (didn’t fancy or have the 2-3 hour wait time to go to Jason to have him do it). You just need a PC with an internet connection too.

So, first impressions...

Took the unit home along with the install guide and it’s pretty straight forward to get started. The basic principle is that you use the tool to read your existing OEM ECU file. That gets read from the car and saved to the tool. Save it back off the tool to your PC and send it Jason. He then does the remap of your choice and sends you the file back out, all over email – no need for waiting times or visits to him (don’t want to see his ugly mug too many times)...

So I remapped the car yesterday (well he wrote the file) BUT I did the manual labour! So I did the remap! I went for a power and economy map.

My initial thoughts as follows:

1. The first thing I noticed was the throttle response, car is keener to move (if that makes sense) as soon as you use the same level of throttle you did before the map.

2. The gear changes, MUCH smoother. I had a 3rd gear reluctance to change (until beyond 2000 rpm at 20 to 30 mph) and that now seems to change earlier, Jason tells me he’s tweaked the gear changes with his maps).

3. Fuel economy may be a little early to report on but the range seems slower to drop.

4. I’ve had a lumpy cold start idle, that seems to have halved since the remap (again something Jason believes the remap would have helped with). Still to be investigated though. :(

So, Mr Cynical is a happy bunny with the initial experience. But I have the mapping tool and the beauty of this is I can revert back to the Original file and compare the maps. Another reason for choosing the tool is that Jason has added an Economy ‘only’ map (only trying it out) but again, something I can add at anytime! Ideal if you plan a mega trip, say to Europe! You can add it yourself in less than 5 minutes. Then come back and change to Power & Economy.

Being cautious I asked if we were within tolerances, I’m assured Jason’s maps are.

I also asked what to expect from my stock 3.0d E53 218bhp? I’m told 40bhp... :driving:

To anyone else considering a remap from Jason, you now have two options – go to him or use the tool. In both cases, the remap does seem to make a difference.

So far, so good! :thumbsup:

Haha - if that were the case - Jason would go out of business!

No, each mapping tool is locked to your car. The ECU original map you take off YOUR car is individual to your car and thus the remapped file that Jason gives you back is your original tweaked.

Just remember, to have the freedom of putting whatever map you want when it taks your fancy means you need to put a deposit down (which is only refundable if the tool is returned, working and undamaged).

I'll keep it until I decide which map I like best and then leave it at that and give Jason the tool back.

Quick update:

Standby what I said earlier. With my current Power and Eco map the car has improved on throttle response, smoother gear changes and poke! Fuel economy is a stable 28mpg (one injector out, so expect this is actually poor - will get Jason to take a look).

Can't remember who asked on the forum but still consider it a 'have' rather than 'not have'. :thumbsup:

Would just like to add that Jason has mapped my Z and track car. He is basically a mapping god...no exageration. You will not be disspapointed with the results I can garuntee. He is also amazing at diagnosing niggles and issues, which before my track car was mapped there was a few.
