You are able to unmarry it to bring it back to stock, as far as if they can tell if it was flashed i was told different things. Last i heard they can check a flash counter on your car...

I guess thats the only thing that would worry me is that they would throw a fit over that it has been flashed. What I want to know is if they can check how long ago it has been flashed like if the ECU has the ability to save dates of when it was flashed?

How about an AP for a Subaru? There's one locally I can get for cheap, and it's got the OBDII plug....all I'd have to do it get the Evo maps, right? Thanks for your help.

Best, Dan

Subaru and Evo Accessports are not interchangeable.

The AP also has a lot of maps for applications you may be using it for, but the tunes are very conservative so that it may be used for a lot of different types of vehicles with different bolt-ons and still keep the engine within a relatively safe tune. That being said, you will not unlock the full potential of your motor's tune unless you have your vehicle pro-tuned by a Cobb certified tuner or you tune the vehicle yourself, which I believe you can do with AccessTUNER Race or whatever that program is called, or by having your car tuned with another program like Ecuflash with a Tactrix cable.
Hos can I make sure it is not married to another car?
Is there some easy way to se?
Tnx P.

Ralliart to EvoX AP

Does anybody know if the Ralliart Accessport can be used for an Evo X?

Unmarried the AP from the 2010 Ralliart, installed it on the 2012 EvoX and worked like a charm!

I agree, make sure its "unmarried" my buddy was unlucky enough to get one still married and had to pay the extra money to get it unlocked no big deal but was more of a pain in the *** more than anything
