Drivetrain The Official ALTA AccessPORT Thread
#2201
SMOG,
Sorry for the confusion on the compatibility of the AccessPORT for the 2011 MCS. I have already corresponded with you through email, but I wanted everyone else to be aware that we are willing to take the AccessPORT back as long as the AccessPORT is in brand new condition and not used.
We are still working on compatibility on the 2011 MCS, but we don't have a ETA at this point.

this may be a dumb question and may have got answered... hard to remember everything that has been written in this forum, but what goes into making the AP work for the 2011? is it just breaking the new codes?

The sale on the AP is going on until the end of the year. You'll be cutting it close!

I just went to Alta site and my car isn't listed as one that is compatible Does this mean I can only do a custom tune?

Alta, what type of hp gains would I expect on that car?

Alta,
What will your Accessport do for my 2008 JCW? I've attempted to read through all 89 pages but fell asleep Did I read somewhere that there was no point in a tune on the JCW? Doesn't sound right to me. Seems you would still produce some HP gains.
I thought the point of the Accessport is that is probably the most bang for your buck in hp gain? Does is matter that the car is a JCW if you still want additional power? I guess the question still remains. Can I use an AP on this 2008 JCW? Which one do I buy? The one for the 2008 MCS?

It doesn't matter if you have a MCS or JCW, our tunes will make more power than the stock tunes.
There is only one AccessPORT for the Mini, so you can't get it wrong there. Thanks!

Stage 1 and Reliability (Commuter Car)
I've been thinking about getting the accessport for some time now, but figured I'd wait and see how it wears overtime. My clubman is my daily driver and while i do enjoy mountain runs and aspire to track it some day, I also need it to be reliable and would like to drive it for atleast another 30-40k (37k on odo now).
So that being said, how is it working out for folks that deal with stop and go on a regular basis and average 12-15k a year? Not just mileage wise, but have you noticed any more wear and tear? I have mild upgrades, and would stick with Stage 1.
Thanks in advance for the responses.
Oh and btw. I am still considering swapping out to a 328i, but figured I might as well have some fun while I have the Mini whether it be 2 months or 2 more years.

On a side note, I hope ALTA decides to add that burble & pop on the AP as well as extra power option when you hit the sport button! TAKE NOTE of this REQUEST PLEASE. LOL
