i dont need it, I dont need it, I dont need it......I NEED IT!!!!
Holy crap. I've been in Subie world for about 6 months now with my 2013 WRB STi, and I always heard almost everyone talking about installing a AP in their STi. Now I that I know how it works, I understand! I want one!
For all those who wonder if this will fit this car or that one....just go to cobbtuning.com......everything is well explained.
I just installed my V3 an hour ago. Very impressive i must say. The car goes hard.
Awesome! Seriously one of the best and easiest modifications you can do! :)
Thanks,
Rick
how long did it take and what was it on?
my subie said she wants this for christmas. she always gets what she wants.
Oh my....that was great and really informative! And all on one take! The guy that did that video should win some kind of Oscar. Great job.
Oh yeah, Si drive actually now works as a "boost" selector in a sense. Factory Si drive only controls throttle position vs pedal movement. With AP's it allows different load cells to be accessed to hit different torque demand values. Hitting the higher TQ demand values allows you to hit higher boost levels sooner.
Great product! Love all the Cobb stuff since they've been around.
Awesome overview. Probably going to upgrade from the v2 AP to this just for that incredible screen and the fact you can now turn it off without unplugging it lol.
My V2 takes at least 10 minutes to bring my WRX back to stock map from Stage 2. V3 is a huge improvement for speed.
We haven't heard of any issues so far, but the V3 is still relatively new.
That semicolon is bothering me more than it should. Nice walk through though
Can I unplug it and still have it running the tune? I just wanna install the tune and throw it in the glovebox.
yes you can. it flashes new tables to ECU in the car but when you are running any tune you really should monitor things like fuel pressure, fuel trims etc for at least a while before you toss it to the side!
You can put the tune on, and leave the AccessPORT at home. It will only need to be plugged in when changing the tune.
It is powered by the OBD2 port, so there is no charging necessary at all.
finally i have my cobb v3, today i going to the dyno wuju.
For me personally I would be watching boost, coolant temp, knock and IAT if its available on your car.
Get a clingo reusable sticky pad. Mine is so sticky that it ripped off the Serial Number sticker off the back of my V2. I bought the clingo neklit for like $8 from Europe, 3m taped the back of it, and now I can remove my AP, re-stick, adjust and it keeps it there like a champ. Even in 100* summer weather it didnt budge.
Will Cobb ever go world wide and support european evo x models?
No. The AccessPORT can only be used on one car at a time. Even if you un-married it from the 2003, the hardware is different from the 08-13 STI AccessPORT.
didnt know the audio intro from AngryJoeShow was royalty free. Nice
Hello, is this product strictly for USDM models only? I have 2011 sti sedan Type UK. Will it work with mine? Thanks.
The 3m tape that holds the accessport onto the dash sucks. Mine fell off about 3 weeks into owning it. Now the accessport is in my glove box until I find better tape to replace the original
I just got mine today and I wanted to see what map I can flash it cause I also ordered cobb sf intake , I have not install none of them yet .. and I live on California
Great video
Very good instructional video. I'm actually about to buy one of those today. Now it does come with tuning maps in it already right? And you can use it to tune your car and get rid of codes?
are we still using a cable to connect OBD-II? couldn't built the 3rd generation on Bluetooth can bus wireless? like most newer OBD scanners out here! for the price that it would have been the best part!!!
That question is better answered by COBB. I would hop on their website and email them.
RallySport Direct Hey great video, just a quick question, I'm from Australia and I recently purchased one of these. Can you please give me an answer as to whether it works for cars over here in AU? It's coming up as "failed to recognize vehicle please contact tech support" but that's all I've got left to work with..soo, some guidance would be appreciated!
I would love to go stage 2 with my 2011 sti but I would like to keep the stock cat-back and stock intake for noise levels, I would just like a dp and ap v3...
Wish I got these before the v2
When an intake with access port is done, as well as down pipe, what kind of mpg increases could be expected? Also, would this be a worthwhile venture for an 08 WRX automatic transmission?
This was soo helpful. Thank you for the vid.
Man, i need this for my 2011 MazdaSpeed second gen.
You mean "Gen Poo"
*****
Oh, one of those peoples. ehh
Dave Budness Naw just messing with you bro. My wife has a gen 1. I got my '06 Cobb stage 2 WRX. I like the MS3's even all the torque steer, got her a beefier rear motor mount to solve that problem though.
Yes.
If a car previously did not use 91 Octane but the current stage requires 91 Octane, its alright if you transition to it from a cheaper fuel correct?
Just wanted to know im from Australia and i drive a speed 3. My car is bone stock and if i tune it to stage one will it make my fuel economy worse ? Im about to buy one but i cant find an answer to this question to this anywhere.
Why don't I have the adjustment tab under tune on my accessport. I'm on the stage 1 93 map and I have to re flash it every time I want to adjust the latch control rpm or flat foot shifting.
Hi just ordered the v3 for my evo x mr I have borla full exhaust stock turbo k+n short ram intake what map would I need
If I was planning on buying a Invidia downpipe, Invidia Q300 exhaust, Cobb Intake with box on my 2009 WRX would I be able to use one of the maps on the Accessport V3?
If I get one of these I can tune it by myself? Like for some simple bolt ons intake, and exhaust.
And do you have to unplug the port every time you get out the car to avoid draining the battery?
I have a 2011 wrx. Catback exhaust and a BOV. The car backfires because it runs rich. The car also boggles after 5000rpms. Will the access port help me?
If I was to get the catback and downpipe for my OB 2.5 XT would I need to get it tuned before installation?
Can you confirm that when this new AP V3 installs initially, it takes the EXACT info from your ECU? Did The V2 only put a "generic" stock map into your ECU, hence some people who had problems with warranty work?
Also how many parameters are you able to display? Very interested but on the ropes due to my car still under warranty. Thanks in advanced! Excellent video!
Personally I wouldn't trust flashing the ECU over a wireless connection. For monitoring that would be fine, but there are just too many what-ifs for flashing.
rallysportdirect for the real time tune does the car need to be stopped and turned off? How does that work?
so what should i run or can this even happen i have intake and exhaust but i want to put my bov on how can i do that with out my ecu going nuts
does the cobb ap device have to be connected to my WRX all the time or can i unplug it after i install the new map?
Just got mine. Loving it so far, but what are the certain things I want to log/monitor to make sure everything is working correctly?
I have a down pipe on my wrx 05 would I be able to tune it with the AP??? And how .. sorry I'm all new to these :/
i have an aem cold air intake, cobb 3" catted down pipe, and HKS hi-power catted exhaust should i install an access port before installing these aftermarket parts?
If so what map should i be using? does the maps come with the accessport? or do they need to be downloaded to the accessport?
thanks
tyler
So with the "adjustments" selection, you're able to set launch control straight from it without having to go on the computer?
I'm guessing you plug this into the OBD2 port to flash it...but can you hook it to the OBD2 or cig lighter to charge it while it's in the car or does it just run on a battery and you charge it in the wall?
Seems COBB is synonymous with STI/WRX, it's like it's the chosen brand for self-tune. How reliable are these AP systems compared to say a Dyno-Tuned car? Are there any other AP systems as good as COBB? Seems u can tune the car that's all stock for whatever gas you use. I have a ralliart and use Premium gas, which is 93 octane, will it show any significant improvements or just bare minimum ones?
I have a 2015 fiesta st, thinking about purchasing the stage 1 package. Is it okay to run stage 1 in real time instead of permanent? I dont know too much about cars and tuning, but I figure logically thinking (correct me if im wrong) that in some way it'd be healthier for the engine to run stage 1 only when im on the track or if I feel up for some spirited driving.
i have a V2 ap that now freezes on the first screen, wont go past the first screen anymore.
can i install a V3 straight up or will i need to unmarry the V2 first? problem is how do i unmarry an ap that freezes on the very first screen you see?
What do you need to run a stage 3 tune on 93 octane, I called Cobb and asked about stage 2 and they said I was good to go but I never asked about the stage 3 93 octane map requirments. I have an after market top mount intercooler, sti turbo, turboback exhaust with full apexi n1 exhaust, fuel pump, & a Aem air filter! All on a 2002 wrx!
My sti is currently tuned but I'm unsure about what stage I ordered the accesport and I dont know which stage to select?
What mods are done to the car currently?
Thanks,
Rick
@@rallysportdirect okay so the car has a turbosmart bov cobb sf intake cobb heat shield and a catless exhuast and the AP came yesterday and tried plugging it in it said "warning the car is currently tuned and continuing will delete it forever" so now I'm even more confused
Oscar_Scoob 2.5.....Did you purchase the car new or used? The access port saves your car’s factory ECU settings prior to downloading any maps (at least with stock ecu settings). Surprised it wouldn’t save current map loaded onto your ecu. There are quite a few OTS maps pre-downloaded onto the V3. With the mods you have, should be easy to find OTS map that matches.
I'm thinking about getting one soon/ I have a 2011 wrx bone stock, what map would i use?
Yup.
Idk I didn't see any different between with n without it, hope I won't mess up my warranty cuz of this ... I ordered Cobb intake cuz I heard drop in filter is not good , Im using epexi filter drop in
What happen if I installed wrong map on my car?
For instance, the recommended map for mods I have on my car is stage 1, and I Install stage 2 or stage 3
I have a bone stock 2014 evo x. If I'm running a stage 1 91 oct will i see some gains? And is it fine to run this tune with a completely stock car. Thanks.
having this AP on your sti does it have to be connected to your car every time you drive it or once you install it you can drive the car without the AP?
May I ask now gtr35 cant read tcm module.izit copp v3 can read the fault code and do gear selector calibration?Beside that I try the ecutek can read the fault code.
hey bud take it your trying to do a gear learn? mine does the same thing every-time i try to do a gear learn it refuse's to recognize anything &come up with fatal error on the screen only did this since i did an update everything else works on it just fine
so if i set a permanent map to my car, how do i go about setting a different permanent map.. say i want to switch from track to eco
sweet so i'm assuming it wouldnt need to be sent in to get "unmarried" i could just to a 'quick' reflash and install a new map as my base
If you have an AP and uninstall, can the dealership tell you had AP/tune on the car?
Does it work well with the BRZ? (2013-15) Also I'm new to performance cars. Yes I'm a little green to this, help me out. I'm sure it will work in most of the newer vehicles. I just want to ask a simple question.
+Echo Leader No unfortunately it does not work for the BRZ/FR-S, seems like most people go with the ECUtek tuning solution for that car :)
I have an evo 10 and I just bought the v3. I have an ets test pipe on my car and soon to be an ets intake. I live in New York, I noticed that it had several stage 1s. Which would you recommend for me ? I also always fill up with 93 octane. Thanks!
If I uninstall the stage 1 map and put the stock map back on will a dealership be able to see that I changed it thus voiding my warranty?
They can see that you've flashed the ECU, so it will probably void the warranty as these are settings that are not officially supported.
So warranty concern question. If I buy the accessport and have a Brand new 14 WRX and i throw this on there and have an issue unrelated to my change in map when i return it to factory will the subaru dealer be able to tell that I have changed the map or will they not know as long as i return it back to stock? Worried as I got a 100K 10year bumper to bumper warranty and although Id love to have it but not sure its worth it if they will be able to argue that the Access port was to blame. Thanks for the help
If they connect to your ECU they will know. Any dickering you do to the ECU voids all warranties. Enjoy
I have a question regarding the accessport ap3 I just purchased for my focus st. I just recently had a muffler and resonator delete on the car and now it's throwing a "lean" code. A lot of guys had this problem and with it being the rear o2 sensor. The rest of the car is completely stock for now. I was just wondering if the accessport can permanently get rid of this code or just shut the o2 sensor off? Now with that being said will I have any issue of passing emissions at all? Thank you for your time
The Accessport can turn off the rear O2 sensor without a problem, however in regards to passing emissions I would not be able to speak on that as technically it will turn the code off, but some tests will check for these type of things so it's not a guarantee.
Thanks,
Rick
i think about getting one but what would happen to the si drive would it still work and if so how
i was thinking of getting this when i get my down pipe will this substitute a tune from a company or is it more for stock vehicles?
thanks
Would it still work if I have a jdm ej205? Still have usdm ecu.
i have a 2013 mazdaspeed 3 bought the car and it came with a intake and i dont tink the exhaust has been messed with. What map would i select that comes pre installed on the accessport. please help !!!
Marques Burgess theres 93 octane fuel whre i live also
If i bought the new AccessPORT V3 and i used it on my 03 wrx can i still use it on an 08-13 STI without having to purchase another AccessPort ??
i heard you need a tune to do any serious engine upgrades. would i need a tune to simply put on an exhaust and intake? i'm planning on getting a wrx sometime next year (04-05) and i want that instant nice subaru rumble and wanted to know if it's a bad idea to get an exhaust without a tune first? don't care about instant power as that can come later. just want a nice sound first. (sorry if it's a dumb question, sorta new to the car scene)
***** thanks very much. helped a lot :)
Hi, I was gonna order one for WRX but I see two option which one do I pick I live in us. An have a manual transmission. (Mt usdm or Mt adm)
You would need a MT USDM Accessport
I have a 2002 wrx with a 3" invidia downpipe, invidia n1 catback and an ultralite flywheel, I am currently running stage 2 93 octane tune. Should I change the tune and if so which one
Actually that tune is perfect with the modifications on your car :)
Thanks,
Rick
Probably a dumb question. But how do I change face plates? No idea how to remove the original one. Tired of looking at the gray
Thanks Rick, I was prying but it didn't seem to wanna come off. And I get nervous with a $600 piece of electronics haha
I have 08 Nissan 350z VQHR with intake, test pipes, and full exhaust. When I added the test pipes from motordyne (art-pipes) I lost low-end power till about 3,500 rpm.
Will this device help with this issue?
Or do I have to take it to get tuned?
I just installed a AMS intercooler, K & N intake and a Borla Exhaust on my 2013 Lancer Ralliart, What map would you recommend, and What would be estimated horsepower over the stock? Thanks
***** thank you answering my questions, but I have one more though. If I installed a wrong map, for instance, if I installed stage 2 on my car as a real time or re-flash map, and the recommended map is stage 1, is that going to hurt or mess anything?
Great review, thanks.
when i go into the tune menu it doesn't show me an option for adjustments, am i doing something wrong?
my local tunning shop wants to charge me ~ 400$ to install an Access Port for my 15 STI. do they need to tune it ? or can u just install it myself?
Oh man, yeah, you can install it in your driveway/garage in less time than it would take to drive to the shop lol. It honestly takes about 10 minutes to install and is super super easy. Here is how you do it(assuming your car is 100% stock)
Take AP(Accessport) out of the box.
Take OBD2 plug out of the box(it will be the one with the rather large connector on one end, and USB on the other)
Find OBD2 plug on the car, it will be just below and to the left of the steering wheel, basically just above your knees.
Plug in OBD2 plug, then plug in USB side to the Accessport.
Turn off the headlights, radio, dome lights... basically anything that will drain the battery
Turn the key to the "on" position, or if you have push button start, push the button without pushing the clutch in.
Follow the on screen instructions -
it will have you confirm your car, and then have you choose a "map" (this will be the tune for the car)
Assuming your car is stock, you will choose stage 1, and either 91 or 93 octane (depends on what fuel you have access to. If you don't know, just choose 91 to be safe. You can easily change it later)
Let the Accessport do its thing(don't be messing with stuff, opening/closing doors, turning on or off anything etc.., just leave everything alone until it tells you what to do).. it will back up your stock map, and then load the new map onto the car. once done it will have you turn the car off for like 15 seconds, and then you can start the car. Do note, the first time you start the car, it will crank for like 3-4 seconds before it actually starts and this is 100% normal.
All this takes less than 10 minutes on the Subaru. Seriously, buy it, install it yourself, and enjoy your bump in power :) Now if you do have a bunch of mods on the car, you *might* need a custom tune, in which case, give us a call and we can guide you on what to do.
Thanks,
Rick
they ship to the UK how would this work on a 2004 Wrx Sti Type UK since the maps are pretuned to the US Variants
So I am planning on purchasing the COBB Catback Exhaust, COBB SF Intake + Air Box, COBB Downpipe for my 02 WRX 4EAT. I Was wondering if I purchase this product, after installing those parts, how do I know which map and stuff I need to use and what stage? I fill up with 91 octane.
Thanks ahead of time
***** Ok got it, thanks!
Why 91 and not 93? If he puts 93 in his tank shouldn't he use the Stage 2 93?
Is there a stage 1 map for 93 octane? I've been getting that for my car. Do i have to get 91 octane after i flash stage 1?
Damn that sucks, Okay so in the case that i do change cars can i trade in the 03 one for an 2011 one or not
to tell the truth, i dunno how it works n its function actually. is it jz an additional gauge, or can improve the performance? i have a fiesta S 2014, so can the AP be fitted into it?
I have a 2013 focus st with just intake and BOV right now. What would be the map I want to use?
***** I threw on the stage 1 tune with intake and blow off valve but now it won't go above 5psi and factory boost is upwards of ~15. Any suggestions?
If you have a custom tune map on the V2 Access Port, do you just need to use AP Manager to transfer to the V3 Access Port?
Why doesn't mine come with adjustments tab under tune?
Does this need to remain plugged in for the tunes to stay transferred over, as with some units, or can the AccessPORT flash the tune data and then be unplugged?
So i have this question! I just bought this to my Nissan GT-R 2010
How do i install the feature so i can change the Launchcontroll etc with the buttons on the steeringwheel?
thanks i em now getting one
why not just make a cobb app we can just buy from you guys? all we'd have to buy is a cord to connect other than the app to purchase?
dose the screen burn on this one like the previous one?
My V2 has a ghost burn in the screen from using it as a guage....
Could I use this to get information on how the car is running? I don't need a tune, nothing is done to the car, I'd rather leave the tune the way it is, and use the AP for information only. For now.
+Pr3lude9 Yes, but I imagine you could do it cheaper with a proper OBD scanner. Now if you were wanting to use it for tuning in the future it would be totally worth it, but just for data, it would be an expensive data tool.
Thanks,
Rick
+RallySport Direct Thanks for the quick response, Rick.
I would use it for tuning in the future. Knowing what I know now, the only thing holding me back would be if the V4 came out. I emailed Cobb and asked if they had any plans on releasing a V4 anytime this year, and am waiting for a response. Who knows if they will give me a direct answer.
