Suggestions for Access Port Evo X Install and Use
We are currently installing an Access Port Evo X and ran through some minor things
First of all you get what youy pay for Cobb Tech Support is 100% amazing - always easy to get someone on the phone
First step - update the newest firmware updater from this page http://www.cobbtuning.com/info/?ID=3874
Second step - do a beta update using the uploaded updater while your lap top is connected on line - this will get you the most up to date firmware
Third step - when first installing you can skip - and I recomend that you skip saving the stock program - (it takes a half hour to save it). They have the stock map alreday saved on the AP so anytime you un-install its automatically reverted back to stock. If your super worried and want to upload the stock program anyway - you MUST connect a battery charger - jump box or use jumper cables fom another car while you are saving your stock map and then uploading the supplied Cobb Maps - otherwise the voltage may drop and corrupt your data. if you do this dont worry as their is a friendly recovery mode to save your ***.
Since the fans run while its flashing and since it takes a long time a battery charger is 100% needed is you want to save the data and then upload the new map at the same time (dont ask me how I found this out)
More suggestions later

I think the answer is Yes you can and I would
I agree its more like 15 minutes
I have been working with the fan disconnect trick and its great - great idea
JUST all you dumb asses out there - dont forget to re-connect your fans afterwards or it will be a nuclear melt down !

I'll see if i can post some screens tomorrow. Is really easy to update.
From the Access Port Manager software that you get on the disc.
That is used to put the maps on the AP.
Then there's and Assess Port Updater.
That one is to update the AP. Just install it, wait for it to ask to connect assess port and the rest is pretty easy.

Any idea if I can edit the saved Ecutek map & save it as another file to cater for hardware upgrades?
