Accessport

Does anyone have an accessory that i can borrow or use to tune my R56? I don't have 800 beans to spend on that due to the fact that I'm a full time student. If anyone has one and will help a fellow mini owner out let me know to see if we can work something out.

The Accessports are for one specific vehicle/owner, as are the Dimsport and Alientech.

Point #2, the 2011+ MCS cars do not have an ECU that has been cracked through the OBD2 Port so a tune is not going to happen, yet.

If you had found the Accessport Thread, which is quite large, it explains everything and more. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...rt-thread.html

You could not find the Link to the Thread that I inserted??

If there is any "Undertone" it is because all the mentioned companies make it so only one car can be used!

The Link I "Inserted" did not show up?

Another thing about the Accessport. Back late in 2011(like Nov.) Alta advertised Tunes would be available for the 2011 models in Jan of '011. That obviously did NOT happen so everyone who bought one of their Accessports is stuck with $800 worth of useless hardware! I pointed it out to Alta that advertising such blatant inaccuracies was probably fraudulent so they changed their Compatibility" section of their web site.
