Alta's Access Port not compatible

Hey All,
Just spoke with Chris at Alta. he passed on some sad news that their AP is not compatible with my 2013 R58 JCW.

With that being the case, does anyone know of any other ECU tuning alternatives or is the 2013 just too new?

Yup the access port won't be developed for the n18 so no go on the 2013 JCW or 2011+ cooper s.

Thanks guys for the info. Appears other than Renn Tech, ain't got no other software choices.

With that said, on a full factory built 2013 JCW build out, what bolt owns, if any, would provide me a decent hp/tq gain?

Damn that sucks. JCW N18 and you're unfortunately in the same boat as us

You won't actually notice much with just bolting things on. I already have
1. Forge FMIC
2. Invidia CatBack
3. Intake(removed....but cool sounds)
4. Catless DP(still waitng for arrival)

*I don't even notice much difference in terms of hp/tq gains. i'm sure I will with the DP, but a tune will really make that part worth it.

You could start bolting things on...but at the end of the day you can't extract much power out of all those parts until you tune the car.
......but there aren't many if any options for us right now.
