I just want mine to drive better at low speeds around town or in traffic. Anything else (better mpg or a few more BHP) is a bonus as far as I am concerned

Exactly, although if the dealer performs an
update for some reason, the map may get wiped.

Best to get it done after the first full service and make
sure there are no outstanding electronic issues
that may involve the dealer doing any firmware
updates etc.

Are any other tuners even offering a 2.2JTS remap yet?
