SUMMARY

It has since been discovered that the Stage 2+AEM v1.01 maps for the MR edition EVO X are corrupt and can cause the ECU to become inoperable. The faulty maps have been identified, removed from the COBB Tuning EVO X Map Database and replaced with v1.02 maps that have been tested and are trouble-free.

That sucks, bad things happen sometimes. I'm glad to see that Cobb figured this out soon, issued this warning, and is making things right.

 

good thing its a quick recall before things got out of hand :/

 

2 of the 3 llinks in the main map table are incorrect.

Here are the direct links instead:
Stage2+AEM 91 Octane MRv102
Stage2+AEM 93 Octane MRv102
Stage2+AEM ACN91 MRv102

 

Thank God I own a GSR.

 

That's a pretty big mistake... shouldnt' all the maps be tested before they are released?

 

Sure, but you can't plan for everything! It's not like they made it and never put in on a single MR....

 

Thanks! I was wondering about that! Much appreciated!

 

tsbevo,

Thank you for catching that and posting the correct links. These have now been repaired on the EVO X Map Database page.
