Thanks for the advice guys. It will be a month or so before I can pick up the AP so I should have my car broken in and have some time to run it with stock tune. I would like to have the AP before I take the car to get the windows tinted. I think the valet mode will come in handy in that situation.

 

If I re-flash the ecu back to stock to take the car to the dealer will they be able to tell the ecu was flashed previously, and the ap was what did it?

 

From what Cobb is saying "NO" There shouldn't be a counter...
So as of right now no...

 

thanks

 

that's the good thing about being a noob. just be like "what? i wouldn't even know how to do that?" are you sure your medic is reading right?"

 

Robb, I've been following the Access Port technology for a while and I was wondering whatever happened to the Virtual Dyno feature that Trey posted about on the Cobb Blog back in March of '08 (bottom of the page).

I just got my AP the other day but haven't installed it yet. Will this feature be available shortly?

 

Robb,
Got my AP and everything is working great.
I am only not able to find the boost gauge feature, which I think AP has.
I looked through the manual, but was not successful.
Is it in the monitor section or the data log one?
Thanks,

 

Is not under boost, i think is MAP pressure or something like that. Look for a reading in PSI. Also you will not see more than 18 psi.

 

I haven't played with it much, but do you know if the AP read A/F ??? if so what letters are they on the accessport?

 

AP cannot read A/F.

 

I thought so... thanks anyway/// haven't installed my wideband... guess i better get on it

 

We're working on enabling the virtual dyno for all the cars we currently support. It shouldn't be too much longer before that feature is enabled in the Evo X.

Be watching for an update tomorrow for the AP. It'll include much faster install (2.5 min) and change map (20-40 sec) times along with some other new items.

Thanks,

 

^^Sweet!! Any fix for the boost gauge at 18 yet?

 

In the hardware manual of the chip it says 100 is the maximum number of times it can be re-flashed. I think this has something to do with the physical properties of the chip material. That is a pretty high number, but just don’t go crazy in re-flashing IMHO.

hmm....that would upset me greatly. The whole point of this purchase was to have the fuel economy map for the annoying commute and the performance map(s) for the weekend or evening "playtime". and of-course the anti theft, and valet maps would also be handy during certain occasions.

Robb do you have any input to add to this? 100 times seems high, but it all depends on how you intend to use the AccessPort...
