Dealer won't do JCW flash on MCS
 
I've noticed that some people on here got a JCW ECU flash done on their MCS by the local dealer. When I called Mini of Peabody about this, I got a quick "No, we don't do that because it has to be tied to a JCW package". :impatient: Needless to say I'm under the impression the SA has selling me something I don't want on his mind. How were you guys able to get a flash? I'll pay the $100-$125.

im not 100% sure on this but i believe that the "JCW" software for the stock DME is just the latest version of PROGMAN ( dealer programming ). the current version is 28.0.2. the 100$ you spoke of is the hour labor rate for most dealerships. just tell them you want the latest programming for the DME (Digital Motot Electronics) ( ECU) loaded into your mini

TBH with my car we found the JCW map far to rich an actually killed power to a degree

Works great on mine!!! Try another dealership and yes the flash was part of the 210 upgrade and the dealer has it, there was no disk involved...:thumbsup:

save you your money until you get $300 then get a custom tune. ie RMW, Mynes, etc. then go paint MINI Peabody's parking lot with rubber. :cool:
