There are 2 ways of doing it. The MAP2 does have a seft learn option, so you continue to drive normaly while it takes readings and produces your base map for you. Great in theory, but it only visits each cell once. i.e once its got a value it ignores that cell unless you tell it otherwise. So you can get a map, but it will be ropey, but should get you started.Originally Posted by spm01
Now there are basemaps around but, and i do stress this point, these maps are what people have taken time, quite a lot of time in some cases, to produce. This is why some tuners will not supply you with a base map because at the end of the day its there work that they have created.
Most importantly though, if you were supplied with a base map that is what it would be, mearly a starting point for further tuning as no 2 cars are the same. So if lets say you were given a map and then just ragged the arse out your car and bad things happend you would imediately be on the phone complaining that this map destroyed your car.
So yeah, there are maps out there that people have and may be willing to give you, but you will definately need to map the car afterwards. So it all depends on how confident you are with doing it yourself, or whether you just want to pay someone and have it done for you.
Just something else i forgot, with the install its vitaly important to have the correct power and earth feeds for the MAP2, they are quite sensitive and it has been known for people on self install to cook them
