ECU tuning software 5.0 SC
I have a 2011 XKR 175 and instead of paying for a canned tune from one of the few that write tunes (at 10x the cost of normal tuners) I would rather spend the money to be able to have my local dyno tuner create a tune on the dyno that matches the local fuel and the mods I plan on doing to the car. My problem is finding which tuning software actually unlocks the the Jag ECU and will allow my tuner the most access to the parameters for fuel/ignition/cam timing/transmission/traction control/torque limiting/etc....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're going to be looking at a Kess V2 to read/write that ecu. winOLS for checksums (with the appropriate module). Even once you get the file, you then need to define it, and understand which maps do what. This isn't something even a very experienced tuner would be able to handle unless he was already familiar with the architecture of the ecu (if this were the case, I don't think this question would be being asked).
Just in tools alone, you're looking close to 5000USD to get into the ecu. By the time you manage to make the contacts to get the information you need to make sense of what you get out of the ecu, you likely could have bought another Jaguar.
Where are you located?

If you do get this capability (editing ECU) would you be able to get through glitches caused by such mods as changing gear ratios or adapting a manual transmission to an F-type? I would love to put the lower gears from the V6 into my v8s as a start.i have the electronic diff and the AWD v6 does have higher numeric ratio than what is in my car. Would be a beast with that gearset in the v8 but I am afraid of all the codes it might throw if I just swap the ring and pinion.
