REmap not chip. BAS, superchips or similar. You can remove and replace the map at will.

I have a BAS remap and it works great - I can return back to normal and reinstall at will.

Hi have the DP remap and while I don't see a improvement of fuel economy the car is definitely faster and far more responsive, recommended.

@garry

how can you change back and re-instate at will??

The BAS kit comes with a controller which you download your original ECU program to then send a copy off to BAS in the UK by email, he then reprograms it for you depending on if your after HP or even more torque if your doing lots of towing and then resends it back to you to reload.

Thus you always have a copy of the original program and can swap them at will.

cheers,

As Terry said.

The map can be loaded/removed using top level coding equipment but if you do not have that BAS provides a basic coding tool. You store the new map on your PC and then upload it to the BAS device. You then plug it into your OBD2 port and download your standard map from your car to the BAS device and upload the new map to the car. So you have the two maps stored in the BAS device and can swap them at will - takes about 2 minutes. To ensure you have a backup you copy the maps from the BAS device to your PC. That way both maps live on the BAS device and your PC.

I carry the BAS device in my car so if some issues does happen I can always go back to the original map on the road if needed.

As Terry says - the BAS map is not a generic map but one suited to your car and your requirements. With mine I asked for max torque and left power basically as it was. The map increased my 0-100 time by over 2 seconds - if you use this torque you will naturally have slightly increased fuel consumption but if you drive as you did before, fuel consumption will be better.

ok so I would need to purchase the BAS remapping interface, sounds like a good idea planing to purchase a LR RR L322 as second car so I could use this for both I guess, wish I would have asked that before paying $900 for DP remap.

I assume I could download my DP map with the BAS?
