Having spent some time with Pete from BAS I thought it worthwhile mentioning what a decent guy he is and how good, professional and knowledgeable he is at work

It is untrue how much of his time is spent offering friendly & reliable advice not only to his dealers but to customers of other dealers with a problem or people that have had chips/re-maps done by others etc.

He has recently fitted to my Defender TDCi, the new switchable re-map system and then he showed me how easy it is to switch from one map to the other i.e. from standard to the increased power re-map and then back again etc.

Having now driven the vehicle for some 1500 miles with the new map on, I can honestly say it is like a different vehicle altogether

She seems to breathe better, sits at motorway speeds less stressed than before and has the ability to pull in any gear from a low RPM. This includes sitting on a motorway using 6th only right down to about 40 MPH and then pulling up to 70 MPH without the need to change gear or even feel the need to change gear Prior to the re-map she would pull from 40 MPH but it seemed like you were in a lake of glue or something

When chatting to Pete it is clear that his knowledge is vast and he has a great understanding of what usable power actually is. As an example, on my recently sold Disco I had a JEF re-map and larger intercooler on it. The stage one re-map was done first, and yes whilst it had an effect, the extra power was not there when you needed it, but just when you did not need it anyomre it gave you a kick up the rear This was compounded when the larger intercooler was added and the re-map was done to stage two. The BHP went from approx 125 to 200 but it never really felt anymore powerful or offered any gains at all other than blowing lots of black smoke out of the exhaust

From what I understand most of the re-maps that are available are standard units offering the same program to all vehicles i.e. a Defender TDCi re-map is a standard re-map for a Defender TDCi. Pete's re-maps are unique to your vehicle as it takes into consideration your vehicles engine characteristics including mileage, engine wear, existing mapping etc, etc so is by far a superior system.

Also, I understand there are others offering a simelar switchable system to the one Pete is selling but there is a vast difference between his and theirs in that Pete's system actually re-maps the vehicle as mentioned above and is not just a standard re-map

Finally, it would seem that the majority of folk selling any kind of decent re-map these days are using Pete's system but selling it and badging it as their own From what I understand Pete sells the equipment enableing someone to re-map a vehicle and then as and when they get a customer they contact Pete who, via PC, re-maps the vehicle. So can I suggest when going to someone for a re-map you ask who's it is

Pete, you are a genius and many thanks for you help and advice

Can you explain how it actually looks with a couple of pics and what can one see on the display etc.
When you take it to the dealers, do you just unplug something and re-set to original?

Thanks
James

Hello, here is a few pics of the unit and the display.

I have not made the final instruction document as yet as ive not had time to complete it.

For now i hope this helpsgive all an understanding of the unit its self.

For a quick exapmle untill the final document is ready the tool works like this

Read the car
Connect tool to PC to retrive original file from the tool
Send me the original file for tuning
I send back a tuned file
Upload to the tool with your PC
Use the tool to program the car

Once the tool has got the 2 files stored on it , there is now no more need for your PC any more the tool isall you need from now on.

Believe me when I say that the fitting and use of this unit is really easy

You dont leave it plugged in but you could easily carry it in the cubby box - just in case you need to make an un-planned stop at the stealers for some reason

Next stop is to make a full diagnostic program as an addon (like nanocom)
