Drivetrain The Official ALTA AccessPORT Thread
For those of you who are impatient for new tunes and revised tunes, understand the complexity of creating new maps for the MINI ecu. From everything I hear, it is a very long and difficult process. MINI makes it very hard for tuners to do their thing, and that fact that there are at least a few people out there willing to take on the challenge is a good thing for all of us.
Todd, sorry for the delay, the new maps that we are working on aren't quite ready yet, if you want a fix right now, PM me the complete name of the map that you are running, with the ECU code, along with your email address, thanks!
The stage 3 tune is only for a car that is running a 3" turbo back or a car with a 2.5" catless turbo back exhaust. With your mods, you should be running a stage 1 FMIC.

Okay.. I've been out in the bush for the past few months making some coin. What is the current scoop on prices for NAM'ers? I am in deffinite need of an accesport for when I return to the 'real world' with not sketchy- satphone internet.. or I'd read way back in the thread as it wouldnt take me a week to load. Im guessing stage 1 as I only have boost tubes and a K&N cold air kit.. must get in on the next FMIC group buy and a donwpipe eventually too.. Drop me a pm? or should I e-mail ya?
You know every sticker adds 10hp. That means with this AP and like 10 stickers you will get like 300hp out of it. True story.
Enjoy the weekend folks!
Thanks again and have a GREAT night!

Thanks for the offer and it has been brought up before. While I appreciate the thought, we won't be offering a Group Buy on this item. It is WELL worth the price and then some! I do hope we can earn your business though and of course let me know how I can help further. I replied to your PM's as well and let me know if you didn't get them.

i would deff join that group buy (*when the 2011 ap is out)
I'll be selling my AP soon probably by January 2012 and when i do I'll post about it on here so you guys are aware of it. Nothing wrong with the AP, just getting tired of MINI and gonna sell the car so the AP will need a new home.
Mini has a smaller tuning market vs Subaru,Mitsu,Nisssan ect ect
The AccessPORT is $895 for the Nissan GTR and BMW. The higher price mostly comes from the difficulty of research needed to make the unit work, and effort for tunes. Sure the Mini AccessPORT has "canned" tunes, but there are over 200+ of them for just about every modification you could possibly do to your car! Try finding that on any other AccessPORT.

I'm betting the cost of the unit is more based upon the thickness of the target market's wallets. Mini, Beemer, and GT-R folks are well-known to have more disposable income than your average Subaru, etc. owner. Hence the higher price...

The cost of the unit is really not that much because they make a good amount of them. It is the same tool for every single car that it is avialable for. It is just loaded with car specific tunes. So I gues I can understand that it took a lot longer to crack the r56 ecu then it did to crak the evo, sti, and other such cars. I would like it to be cheaper but, who wouldn't? I plan on getting one, I just wish Alta would support a catless DP so that I won't get a CEL.
