About to add JCW Tuning Kit... Questions
Within the next couple weeks, I'm going to schedule the JCW Tuning Kit installation. I'm familiar with the improvements it makes over all. Increased HP, Exhaust selector, etc...
Questions:
Are there any visible changes that I'll see in the Control Display?
Meaning, the lbs torque, and hp displays on the Driving Experience display. Currently HP only displays up to 200. With the JCW Tuning Kit, it's possible to produce more.
Any other new display screens for JCW?
When I'm in GREEN and MID mode, will there be any changes? Sound, Performance, MPG usage, etc...

My MPG went up, in MID, with exhaust open, I get about 38 MPG combined, depending. I programmed mine to start in SPORT, exhaust always open. When driving in traffic in town, I am starting to put in MID mode, easier handling, less noise, and I do not "lead the pack" so much when starting from green light, after red. Best MOD I have ever done to the car, IMO. I'll look at the DE display today and report what it says.

I'll check my Carbon later today when I get off of work to see if those screens are different. I went into green once on the highway on a very crappy road to try and get a softer ride but other than that I never go there. I am curious to get this car on a long haul on the highway and see if open exhaust gets me better gas milage.

Dont think my car has ever been in green mode since I got it! The tuning kit is worth it IMO for the exhaust alone. Its the best, most refined sounding exhaust ive heard on any F56. Although I will say, the bluetooth remote is trash and basically useless. The exhaust opens and close by itself like its nobodies business! Ive been on a 2 mile drives where I have to reopen the exhaust like ten times. I ended up going in the trunk and unplugging the exhaust connector from the control box so that fun mode is enabled 24/7 Tune was disappointing for me personally, but will suffice for most. Not sure about the displays either I would have to double check on that. Other than there are no other screens or extras that get added. Just exhaust, badge on engine cover, badge on back, and tune.
Best part is now everyone will think you have a JCW but little do they know

In the case of a piggyback tune (like a JB4) the two would stack which would probably be too much power for the engine to handle. In the case of a flash tune, it doesn't matter if you had a stock tune or JCW tune. That tune is erased and the ECU is reflashed with a new tune.

The JCW Pro Tune will work fine with a piggyback module. I ran mine for almost two years with the JCW tune and the NM Power Module. I did however keep the module on the low setting unless I was running octane booster or 100 octane gas. Never a hiccup as long as you know and understand the limitations of the combination. I’m now going into month nine with the BT Tage 1 tune. I have a Milltech DP, Helix I/C, BT spark plugs, and ArmaSpeed CAI, but haven’t felt the need for stage 2...... yet. I also keep a bottle of octane booster in the boot for the occasions that I can’t find top tier 93 octane or better.

We've installed a few JCW kits on the F56 cars. But honestly for the money I would recommend going aftermarket as you can get more out of it for less money. And I really feel the Remus Exh beats the heck out of the JCW as it is much lighter, and had 4 modes to it, along with some sexy carbon tips.

Then go with a simple tuning module and gain even more. We have several options.

Legal jargon to keep themselves out of trouble. If a product is sold and isnt technically approved for road use, the company will tell you the product is only for track and off road use to protect themselves. Im sure someone more knowledgable can elaborate more on the boring legal stuff

They did that for sound regulation, like off road use only kind of thing. I talked to the product manager whom help design these kits. BTW they did go on sale. The tips did not go on sale, but all three main kits did.
