I like the BT tune (Rose Of Jericho) in the background. I bought the Accessport as my first mod for my 2015 Subaru WRX. It was the best investment for my vehicle. I have a few more mods now; PRL FMIC, Mishimoto; radiator, cold air intake, oil cooler and TGV delete. I also have oil catch cans installed. Later will be a full exhaust modification. I'm glad that the Accessport is adaptable and flexible to more tuning modes the more mods I install. Thanks for being such a fantastic company.
I have the 335i E93 N55 with Cobb V3 Stg 2 and FBOs (DPs, FMIC, CP, DV) and though I do love my Cobb and all I have to be honest and say that it is limited in the things it can do for you in comparison to the MHD N55 Flasher. Cobb gives you crazy power in 3rd gear or at about 60mph, it's like "Bam" and you're a puff a smoke hurling down the highway at crazy speed. They work great but MHD offers so much more in terms of flexibility for multiple Maps (even has an E85 Map) and numerous other features and great support that Cobb rarely offers these days for their products.
Questions, I was gofted a used accesport, I have a gear lag on my gtr, what do i need to do? Ass soon as i connected the accesport to the car it worked perfectly
My valet mode is stuck on, I never turned it on but after I installed the ap and put my map on it and it auto out valet mode on and I can’t find where to turn it off
I just got the v3 access port but the previous owner of my Evo had some mods on it and im sure it already had a tune. Im setting up a date to get pro tuned but i kind of want to use the accessport as gauges rn until i get a tune so its not just sitting there lol. Do i HAVE to install a new tune to have the accessport married?
No you can monitor additional information on your car just by plugging it into the OBD. I think you'll also be able to read any check engine codes, and clear them if need be.
It'll give you many benefits even if you're running stock. Plus if you throw any engine codes, this will tell you what is wrong. You can clear codes as well. Like in said, plenty of benefits
You can run up to 6 simultaneous gauges on the COBB AP V3 at any given time. Yes, it can be set to read boost and AFR. Reads are off OBDII so fairly accurate.
Yes it is recommended to check for the latest update on your accessport. Generally we always send it with the latest update, however you should always check for it just in case.
Stage 1 is intended for stock cars and does not require any other additional mods for most vehicle applications so you'd be good to go! Additional mods will be required to run higher maps such as Stage 1+, 2, 2+, etc.
If i already reflash my ecu with ecutek, do you think it is ok with cobb accesport? I mean does the ecu back to normal when i plugged in the accesport? Or my ecutek is still on my ecu?
When ever you reflash the ECU, it completely wipes and replaces its content with what ever your flashing it too. You WONT need to go back to stock first and then reflash with the AP. i.e. if you car already had a tune in the ECUs memory, any time you plug in a new tuner it will replace the old tune that was previously installed.
If the basic map on the AP doesn’t have the option that i need, how to make a protune? I mean my down pipe and exhaust are from Ark Design and my open filter is from HKS. My car is subaru GVF Sti.
+ModBargains hi sir, what if I have a custom tune on my car before buying the AP and I need to save it? can I download it to my AP to flash it when needed? thx
Well the guy I bought it from had it tuned said everything was the way it should be. My question is if that's the case should I have to mess with it unless I add anything to the car engine wise. Or should I just be able to.leave it the way it is and be fine
While I can't officially endorse running a system which eliminates emission control systems on street vehicles. Cobb does offer many "Off The Shelf" tunes to accommodate these types of race modifications. You can also take your vehicle to a Cobb Certified Pro Tuner and have your engine tune tailored specifically to your modifications.
Why do they make it seem like you can just switch maps on the fly? For instance, if you want to switch to "valet mode", you have to turn the engine off and go through the install process which is about 20 minutes. Not complicated, just not as simple as hitting a switch when you pull up to a valet.
This would only be possible if you left your accessport hard-wired to your vehicle in reach of the driver (and they know how to re-flash the ECU with a different map) The valet mode is an entire non-performance map you flash onto the ecu. So you'd flash it to valet mode, and take the access port with you in your pocket. No way for your valet to change the tune w/o it.
COBB mentions that mainly as a precaution. It takes a bit longer for the initial ECU back-up and flash of the ECU. If the battery would to die as the car was being re-flashed it could effectively brick the ECU. This wouldn't happen during a simple flash normally, but say if the car was in the shop for an 8hr install and you left the car 'on' (say during a long install for an exhaust, intake, turbos, and bunch of other components) and then you tried to flash the ECU. Thats where the issue could come up.
Yes you can use an AP on more then one car, however its limited to one car at a time. After you flash a vehicle, the AP becomes VIN locked to that vehicle. You can un-pair the AP when you plan to sell it to someone else, but you can not run two vehicles off one AP at a time.
Been There Done That There’s plenty of proof for anyone who cares to do a modicum of research. There’s always someone like you in the comments who wants others to hold their hand and do their work for them.
There are many pros & cons for both. Physically, both systems are very different, with the JB4 being an Advanced Piggy-Back system and COBB AP being a direct re-flash module. ... JB4s offer steering wheel controls for tunes, though their current JB4 line up is exclusive to select models of BMWs, VWs, and now the Infinity Q50/Q60. COBB on the other hand offers a wider range of vehicles including many Subaru and Porsche models in addition to VWs, BMWs, GT-R, and many turbo Fords. ... Peek and power curve gains are all down to the individual tunes, and the COBB offers full custom tune options for those wanting the maximum power for their specific engine setup and specification. So really it all comes down to customer choice.
JB4 can be uninstalled without the manufacturer knowing, since everything it does is after the ECU and it doesn’t require the ECU be flashed. If the manufacturer of your car has a flash counter on the ECU, like VW/Audi and many others, they’ll be able to tell that you flashed your ECU with an unauthorized tune even if you unmarry the Access Port and they will deny any drivetrain warranty claims. Ask my old Evo X about it.
Lol Cube we've never gotten paid by any of these companies to make these videos. We carry most of these products, however on occasion some stuff reviewed has been dropped actually from what we might offer. We do other types of videos as well. Check out the channel if you have the time. Thank you for watching
