This is the best $600 you can spend.

It completely changes the vehicle (far more than sport mode). Shift speed are much faster (always my biggest complaint in Eco, Comfort or Auto mode), it revs higher in the power band, holds downshifts when slowing to stop... nice and slightly sporty.

Should be included on the vehicle software from delivery, it's that much of an alteration to the personality of the motor.
Have you successfully coded in the dynamic mode yourself? I'm doing all I can to read about this but not seeing much out there yet. Dynamic mode is more than enough justification for the cost IMO. But I'd like to see it done successfully before pulling the trigger. (P400 I6 Gas 130 here).

I’ve had dynamic mode coded on my P300 and honestly it’s not much of a noticeable change. Not worth the cost imho

Yes. I followed relatively easy instructions on Defender2.net thread about it... and I'm not a hacker or coder by ...any means.

Must be different on P300. On P400 it's a huge change. Someone else who's done this -- back me up here. I"m not exxagerating.

It's certainly a noticeable change on the P400, primarily the remapped throttle profile and more eager downshifts, but I'm not sure I'd call it huge. And I can see how some drivers, depending on driving style, might not see a big difference. But I do prefer it in traffic and in hilly terrain. A worthwhile addition for sure.

I use dynamic mode in my 400 and it’s def aggressive. Much more control with steering and suspension. It injects additional throttle to engine and feels very good when driving with it. One of the best things I have done to my rig. Def worth it and makes up for most part of not getting a v8

weird, I actually find the P400 'too' responsive, I find it very difficult to not 'surge' the thing forward with a light pedal touch. I swear it wants to launch through a wall when I just want to nudge it forward

Did you enable it yourself? Have someone do it? Or do you have some sort of trim that had it from the factory?
