Anyone know how many different Maps are used in Drive mode and Dynamic mode?


If I get a tune, can I put 2 maps, one for dynamic and one for drive?

Will the XKR-S Tune work on an 5.0 N/A car?

This is interesting. My battery died yesterday and I noticed that after I jumped it and drove down the hill the automatic downshifts were quick and firm. I wish it drove that way all the time.

i quite like your question @tarokyama .
The reason is I very recently had an education on new toys: while renting the ford cobra, i was having quite a bit of fun switching and testing between the different drive modes available. Which has me wondering; is something like this feature available on a 2010+ XKR? This thinking is akin to storage of multiple tunes, i think.

Of course, for those of you who know me, there was only one setting of interest ...

I am not sure if the TCU gets flashed as part of a remap, that said I believe it's the same tranny that's fitted to the XKR-S GT that is limited to (IIRC) 186?

I use one of these and reuse it if the transmission gets lazy:

No downsides after a year of use either and did away with the hesitation when changing down between 3-2-1

Is this a cheap ECU tune option?!??

seems like it remaps the ECU and TCU together..

Someone with tuning experience will be best placed to answer that question. But since it says that it doesnt raise a flag on the ecu I believe it just affects the TCU

Cheap is subjective, I bought on a black friday deal and got a third off. But I also bought their power control unit and pedalbox. All were added separately so I could tell the difference between them in improved responsiveness and power.

I have yet to get mine dyno'd since fitting that trinity, purely as time/funds and later lockdown have delayed matters.

I do have a before, run so will be able to see if the trinity has made a difference...but need to get a solid SC nose coupler fitted as the current one is chatter..am unsure if that has a detriment effect on performance though?
