It would be interesting to see whether they meet their power claims but unfortunately I won't be able to report on this until I've had the sat nav map update as I want to get it all done in one big hit.

I also have dice/vida to check out what it does, whether dpf fills quicker etc to give people a proper review
The SatNav update will not overwrite your remap. Different systems.

I have a remapped S60 D3, all the dealer knows is he sees a red light on his VIDA plugin which stops any updates to the map at service time.

My remap involved benching the ECU not done via the OBD II port as that was not possible at the time with trilocked ECUs. I've been running a remap for over a year.
I also tried a plug in box which worked but I prefer the software remap for drive.
