Any makes of chip/remap that anyone has used would be valuable and cost or installation.

I have recently fitted an ipod connection and would gladly give guidelines on it as it was a doddle to fit and inexpensive and gives full ipod control.

Thanks Phil
I chipped my 2006 3.0 diesel sport auto .
It had 3 maps - normal, fast, even faster
The Normal map was very strong even though it was more focused towards economy.

I never got to measuring wheel hp, but 0 -100 acceleration was reduced by 1.6 seconds from standard - as measured by GPS.

All in all it was a blast to drive and pulled like demon.
