That brake squeal though
You've got to pay for running race pads!
That's just new brakes. My Sti with 700 miles has squeaky brakes. Most new Mercedes have squeaky brakes for a bit. It's the sealant paint on the sides of the new pads
SubiSpeed so if I get stage 1 which is the cobb v3 plus cobb air intake do I need to bring it to a shop excuse my noobness I could probably look it it but....
JT Gutierrez doesnt always mean they're bad
Eric Keating no it’s not. That’s false
Awsome video guys, being new to the subaru world I really appreciate the detailed videos you guys have produced, its always good to see it done first before attempting to do it yourself, keep up the great work.
just got my cobb ap and i love it. whole different feel to the car and love the higher rev!.
I waited a year to get mine. It's like a totally different car now. I was like whoa !
Sweet video! Im going stage 2 once parts and AP come. Thanks for the video.
Great video! Cobb access port is a must buy for any tuning car!
Great video, thanks for the review!
Great vid. The AP also gets rid of the factory lean AFR curve at peak boost/torque that is dangerous even for a stock vehicle.
Thank you for mentioning that! :)
this.
I blame Subarus crap stock tune for blowing up motors of stock Subbies who were beat to piss.
I wanna see some Dyno before and after comparison pleeeeease !!! =)
love the song... flute ftw
Hey can u do a 0-60 run with the access port and compare it to the stock tune?
Was the "let's give it the beans" and " turn in to the is back stretch here and see how it does" a reference to subaruwrxfan? Lol he says the exact things in almost all of his car reviews haha
So Mishimoto has been testing a cold air intake and the intake with an exhaust got them 43 hp on the dyno without a tune.(according to Mishimoto) Add the AP stage 1 to that and you'll be making way more power than stick and for not a lot of money. I want a 2015 WRX so badly. Hopefully in the next year. Really like your videos by the way, very informative. Looking forward to more.
Not trying to sound rude, but Mishimoto is absolutely full of you know what if they are really claiming that. Most factory turbo 4 cylinder cars gain little to no power from an intake. Best case scenario is 10-20whp but that is with a tune. Without a tune it is just as likely to run worse. Again, not trying to be rude, but I do work in the industry and happen to know for a fact that many tuning companies only sell intakes because thousands of people will buy them despite it being a waste of money on most cars with a stock turbo.
Bones12x2 even 10-20whp is kinda pushing it.. no way in hell it gains 43hp on dyno WITHOUT a tune.... if it does pull that kind of hp, i'd be actually afraid not to put a tune on it something might break, bc its just not normal lol
Like I said that's what Mishimoto claimed with the intake and exhaust. I'll believe it when I see it but turbo cars do respond better to bigger intakes than N/A cars. I could see it if the intake and exhaust were paired with the tune. We'll see what happens when the parts are actually released.
The video clearly says intake, cat back exhaust and stock tune.
It's "mishimoto intake testing part 2" 41 seconds in. Written pretty clearly. Which makes sense because yes, no intake alone will make 43 hp. And Mishimoto and JSC who both have WRXs said it will be safe to run on a stock tune due to the ECU being able to adapt.
Just did My first Flash - Stage 1 .. generic 91 Octane.. the Butt Dyno says YESS

I just got back from Montana road trip in the super twisty mountain roads. All I can say is WOW about the handling on the 2015. I took my 2010WRX on same roads in 2011 and it was no comparison. The thing I found interesting is you said in your video the WRX is begging for top end. I raced a newer Evo from about 40km and hour to about 180km an hour and he only pulled maybe a half car length, which really surprised me. My car is 100 percent stock, except a drop in cosworth air filter. When you say top end, what speed range are you referring to is my question? Thx. Btw, the cars tires can run as high as 51 psi according to tire place here in calgary. He out mine at 46 psi as I told the tech were I was going... I am sure at that psi I was pulling 1.0g on some corners.
Awesome
How do you guys like the Flat Foot Shifting (FFS)?? Watched Cobbs video and looks a favorite on tracks, also awesome feature!!
I treated mine with outmost care, and could only use 3 times when it stopped communicating with the vehicle. After a long and bothersome e-mail exchange with their support staff, I finally got to send it back to them for repairs. But, because my AP wasn't bought directly from them, they wanted 150 bucks for a repair. After even more emails with the Cobb dealer who I purchased it from, and the Cobb AP staff, I got to send it in for warranty. Now, 3 months later, I get my AP sent back to me because their listed address cannot be found.
Flyingdutchy33 sounds to me like a personal problem
@@iTzKorupted oofta 😅
Since all WRX's are still under warranty, you need to mention that flashing WILL void your warranty.
Cite needed.
Technically, you're wrong. The warranty won't be voided, but the claim/s might be. If you do install the accessport (and/or any other aftermarket parts), it doesn't necessarily mean that it will void your warranty, but if a component of a car breaks down, there is a chance that the claim won't go through. And this is only the case if the dealership can trace the problem back to the aftermarket part (that is, if you go into the dealership with the aftermarket part installed, instead of swapping it back to stock before you go in). However, i've heard of various cases where the dealership sees the aftermarket part, but still fixes the part for you. That final part really depends on how nice the dealership is.

Danny Kwon This. :-)

I think you should also mention with a tune, especially a tune, they will probably immediately void the warranty if something internal fails by chance like a rod or rings being defective, they don't totally have to prove it but if a SOA engineer comes over that will be the first thing to blame. I've seen with my FR-S they blamed rattles to my header-back exhaust but then fixed it anyway under warranty. Also I've seen owners of the multiple cars including the WRX go in for work and the dealer says "Oh we'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one, but next time it will be voided"
one of the main reasons why i dont want to do it on my 15 either
i extended the SOA warranty
all these reports from brenntuning getting 38 MPG and 290whp and 300 trq with ZERO mods with just a tune is just insane....
Excellent review, thanks. I just tried to install my new Cobb on my 2015 WRX and the car wont start. Went back to stock setting. Perhaps I did something wrong in the process. Will try again following your steps.
Hope you are figuring out the issue. Make sure your battery is on a tender while installing, its possible that your battery was drained in the process?
and like u said on this video u don't have any intake so do u have the factory filter or after market drop in filter ?
cuz I'm still waiting to get my cobb ap from u guys and can't wait to get it
Did anyone else feel like it was sluggish around normal driving after the flash? Stock map the boost comes on very quickly with not a lot of throttle needed, but after the flash the boost doesn't really start building until you get into 30-40% throttle and 3k RPM. Top end does feel better, but feel like I gave up some of the "quick" down low in the process. Full disclosure, this is in Denver testing around 26* F outside.
Great video. If you get a Cobb access port does that void your subaru warranty. Stay safe and take care brother.
So after you install the AP, the check engine light comes on? @SubiSpeed
If you got the Mishimoto intake do you think it will work fine with the AP Stage1 tune just because Cobb created the maps for their intakes and AEM? Or is a intake a intake? I like what Mishimoto is claiming and I want to get their intake but I want to hold off on the AP for some time because I still have a 3yr factory warranty with Subaru. If you got the AP and put on a tune and then reverted to stock could Subaru tell??
I just got the 15 WRX and I'm loving it, but driving a turbo car does get some getting use to vs my Acura Integra where you can bring the RPM's all the way up.
Hey thanks for the video. Does your car have rev hang between 1st-2nd gear shifting? I have 2015 wrx and mine have one. Rev hangs for about 1.5 seconds before it starts dropping.
This will not work on ecus other than USDM?
Hi mate,
I got an WRX 2015, japan version. I was wondering if the accesport works with that version also. I read somewhere that it only works in the usdm and adm version.
Hey guys, do you know if they intend to do the Levorg Stage 1 yet, or can I use the WRX, Stage 1 91OCT map seeing it is the same engine and gearbox etc
Just wandering, Once you install a mod, do you have to have the cobb access port plugged in at all times or can you leave it unplugged?
i have a question i know the 91 octane map is more conservative side maybe , but what about the 93 octane map is that any better you get more power? whats the difference ?
What MPGs were you getting with the 91 stage 1 map? and does this effect anything like the Air conditioning? or any other electronics?
I'll be getting one next summer, does it improve throttle response? The stock response seem a little random.
do you know if the stage 1 at 93 octane voids stock warranty and extended warranty? Also do the new WRX still come running lean from the factory?
I had the dealership install Technical Service Bulletin 16-98-16 in order
to prevent transmission slippage with the CVT when the car is cold.
How will the installation of this map affect that update?
I wonder what that does to the longevity of the car? It looks like a cool feature, nice performance mod, but my WRX is costing me too much money to mess with the engine (the heart of the car). I could be wrong, but not taking any chances. WRX is has enough torque and hp for me.
Is it recommended to install on a '15 STI? Like, stock, no upgrades?
Would something like this possibly help with the turbo lag on the new STi
I cant find this anywhere, but how much horsepower does this add stock with that mapping?
How's your clutch and un-rpm times with the Stage 1 vs no Tune?
If i am using the cobb accessport solely for gauges, data logging and scanning codes purposes, would the dealership find out and void warranty??
Are you running stock parts? Also when first installed the pedal feels heavy ... is this safe to keep lkng term compared to the stock?
Do you need to tune anything once it is installed? Also what does it do to your fuel economy?
will it damage my car if i use ap stage one with after market drop in filter epexi? cuz i heard its better to have the factory filter on instead of the after market drop in ...
you were hitting somewhere around 20 psi. Do you know what the 2015 sti would push out?
Did you run the high wastegate map? Is it based on your altitude?
I have a 100% stock sti 2017 I wanted to know if you guys know what kind of gains I can get from the access port
do you need to connect a battery charger when installing the firmware?
Does this works on 2019 sti? Is it really necessary to have a battery tender plugged in?
the cobb accessport only works with USDM impreza's?
So we all know the 2015 has the rev hang dosent the ap remove that as soon as you install the stage one tunr
Great stuff can the download be down by a iPad I have no computer/laptop ????? Anybody 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
do I need any mods in order to use the Cobb AP? I just bought a 17 WRX Limited and want an APPLE, just wondering if I need a any thing else in order to run that tune?
where is this road that you guys are testing that have no cars on it ??? I need to be there.
What does do to your fuel economy? I run 91 Oct in my Subi only. I generally get 29+ mpg average.
When it comes to installing map/tune? Can I just not? Avoid that? I want to use my AP but keep the tune thats on it
What other mods you have on this car to get this kind of power?
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act does NOT allow the denial of a warranty claim as a result of a flash or other modification unless the dealer can prove that the problem was caused by the mod. Burden of proof is on the dealer.
Nice review. What's going on with the brake noise? Thinking of doing brake upgrade and Cobb install on my 2016 WRX Limited and upgrade rotors,pads and brake lines along with brake fluid. Any advice on which rotors and pads I should get?
Race pads were on it
is it worth tuning a brand new 2016 WRX ? Anyone know if you flash from stage 1 back to stock tune, will you be able to hide the tune so you can keep the warranty in tact? The only reason I'm interested in stage 1 is that supposed "rev hang" that is really annoying from 1st-2nd on the stock tune. Plus it smooths out the power band so it doesn't die off in the higher RPMs.
They can only see how many (key cycles there has been) so just say you disconnected the battery worst case and go back to stock before going to the dealer.
With the Accessport, do you pick and choose the parts and manufacturers for the mods you've performed? Like, would you select you have a Mishimoto cold air intake, invidia J-pipe, ETS cat back, etc? Or do you just select the mods only: intake, full exhaust, etc. Sorry if it's a dumb question. I've never used one before and my '16 is being built as we speak. Can't wait to finally get it.
dknollRX7 you don't really select anything. You go on their website and look at the description of the maps, stage 1 is stock air intake and filter, and anything from the cat back you can have, stage 1+ is same thing but with the cobb big sf intake. Stage 2 is aftermarket turbo back and stock air intake, stage 2+ is aftermarket turbo back and cobb big sf intake. Now if you have other mods done that don't fit into these categories or you have more done to it like restrictor pill deletes, then you will need a custom tune. However if you have a mishimoto or ets intake, in the cobb forums they were requested so much that they released maps that are for if you have one of those. Like i have an ets intake so i have to use the map from the forum for stage 1 because that is the ets intake, and anything from the cat and back. Stage 2 for the ets one is a turbo back with catted j pipe, ets intake, and deleted first restrictor pill, and then theres stage 3 which is a delete of the second restrictor pill. So really, so long as you have a cobb big sf intake, and only a turbo back as well, regardless of what combination of pipes you may have, you can use cobb's maps directly from their website, but if you don't have the big sf intake and some other one or you have more mods done to the car than just big sf intake and turbo back, then you'll need either a custom tune or you'll have to do some internet searching
Mine broke after 5 uses. Also, they told me I didn't qualify for a return because I bought it through MazdaManiacs. (For an RX8, you HAVE to buy it through them, or else the AP won't work period. Nice.) I heard other people have nothing but toruble with it.
Can you unplug the access port at any time? After you flash the stage 1+ tune
Does it work with the forester 2014 2.5l ?
What else can I do with this device?
I just got my cobb access v3 for my 2020 subaru wrx CVT. Now do I have to install Cobb access port Manager on my computer. Or can I just go head and connect the cobb AP on my wrx cvt to be tune to stage 1.
I got an Cobb intake what type of map do I need to run on my acessport?*
Hey guys can I use the aem intake with the Cobb accesport is there any maps for this intake ?
I just got me a 2015 Subi STI with the access port but I'm not sure how to reconnect it back to the the car since the dealer disconnected it. Im afraid of hooking it up and screwing up any programs, can u help me out with that?
do you need to charge the car battery after you flash the ecu or load the maps?
Sorry in advance for the noob questin. Here it is: in order to get a stage one tune do need to upgrade any actual parts like intake, exhaust etc.
No, you do not need any upgrades to flash your car to the COBB OTS Stage 1 Maps.
Do you lose functionality of the Intelligent, Sport and Sport # settings by using this programmer?
No you do not. Modes work the same.
You only put stage 1 if you got the kit with the air intake right?
Why can I not update my Accessport? "An error encountered while trying to update the Accessport trying a new USB or device" or something like that.
Does it have the option for 95 octane unleaded (stage 1)???
Can you post some data on the reflash from cobb. Do full 1/4 mile run in stock mode and stage 1. Curious to know what difference stage 1 might provide compared to stock on imperial, not just what you feel subjectively
This was just an initial test and an overview on how easy it is to install. We plan to have the car on the dyno with Cobb and Ecutek tuning solutions. Just an attempt to give you honest feedback! Cobb's data can be seen on our website and their website as well. Hope that works for now. Thanks for watching!

I keep getting the "Cannot communicate with vehicle" warning. I have tried turning key to pff and on like it says but still getting same message. This is on 2015 Sti with AP latest firmware and tried all the maps possible. Any help?
Great video. question, do I need any intake or exhaust upgrades? or can I install on a totally stock WRX Limited 2016?
You can use an AccessPort on a totally stock car. It improves throttle response and power all by itself. Highly recommended.
THANKS! just ordered from you guys!
Lot's of people in here new to the world of aftermarket brakes. I'm assuming it's a "race" level pad as they'll squeal like that, even after some finally heat up they still screech like mad. So many people think there's something wrong with your car.
Anyways, what's your observed AF after the flash? Does the car get boost spikes or is it smooth? And finally, most of the time, people got better fuel economy after a flash on their Subies even into Stage 2, what did you observe?
My WRX is coming in "Sept", had to order it. I'll be having an order for you guys then. Just need a DP/J-Pipe solution.
Also, what's the Coupon code good for on this?
+astrolia1, my boost is only peaking at 19.7 psi , most of the time it's all over the place and I'll only see 15.8 on average... does anyone know if there's an oem boost control issue with the 15/16 wrx?
Did u click the stock airbox on stage 1?
Dam this review went from professional to "how to get 99 woodcutting on runescape" real quick
Can you down load stage 2 -3 etc or do you need to spend 650 each stage
So does the access port come out of the box with its own mount or do I need to purchase my own?
+Jones10395 Comes with a mount
damn that was fast response lol. what map would I use for the stock wrx?
Stage 1
For anyone that can answer rn. Im confused on how a little device changes how the car feels. Someone explain
I have one for my porsche but I'm selling it should I keep my accessport for another car will it work for a gtr I know i will need tunes for the new car but it so I don't have to buy a new port
how would i flash my premium? it has push start
can i permanently save my current map to the AP and how?
Hello Subispeed, im planning to get the AP.. Do i still have to get the "Stage 1" package or i can use the AP anytime??
+Ralph Ruivivar There is a long list of packages you can load to the port for your car. Including any other mods you have made. Make a new mod? Just load a new map to the AP.
I want to get this for my 05 WRX. I plan to buy the whole exhaust too. The thing is, I live in Canada. How do the maps work with our fuel?
sisterinspeed Side note: I have a race car and my brakes don't squeak!
Why are there no vids or reviews on the SUBARU STAGE 2 POWER PACKAGE (RESONATED J-PIPE) WRX 6MT 2015-2016 from COBB?! Is it not worth getting? I've been around the Subie community and understand that COBB to Subaru is like butter to toast. So I was thinking of just going full COBB tune (intake, full exhaust and AP all from COBB). While on the COBB site I saw the stage 2 power package and it peaked my curiosity... but seems like nobody has it...
+Benito Samia (Bb) We have several clients with that package. All enjoy it very much. :)
does installing the accessport and loading a map mess with the three settings (intelligent, sport, sport sharp)
I read in another thread and it was Cobbs that it will work best in regular sport mode as far as peak power / torque and getting rid of some of the lag. About to install one on my 2015 limited with CVT tomorrow. Stage 1 93 octane only for me.
This would void the warranty correct?
This is now the second video I've seen of the center LCD display (gear/MPH/odometer) flickering on a modded 2015 WRX. Is this a side affect of the Cobb? I can't see how. Is it the camera then?
+Astrolia1 It is the shutter speed of the camera that causes that, nothing wrong with the display.
+SubiSpeed
do you do deliveries to australia
how do various car mods effect the port. If you have a dual port blow off valve will you have to get a map for that spacific valve
+William Long (KLRLong)
im sure you will...
when you install BOV on subbie instead of keeping the original bypass valve, it cause your car to run a bit richer when you release the throttle because de MAF sensor is installed before the valve. So when you release the throttle and the pressurised air is bein released outside, the ECU sends more gas to keep the same fuel/air ratio.....you do need a new map when you install a BOV
what is the background music?
I just bought a 2015 and it has less than 200 miles on it. How long should I wait to do anything like this to it?
Can I use it on my 14 forester xt?
do you know if Cobb Access Port works with USDM and JDM 2015 STI models? I just bought my STI down here in Brazil, and wanted to know if there is any potential issue with the model.
Thanks!
+fredxxbr USDM, yes. We cannot confirm on JDM models.
Hello, I have a 2015 WRX AUTOMATIC and I recently just got a cobb access port v3. I need tune because there isn't a map for the following parts I own, Mishimoto Intercooler, A&E Cold Air Intake, Invidia N1 Catback Exhaust system, and Turbo XS Hybrid BOV Type XS. I would like to know how much it is for a tune on my vehicle.
+SALVAT1ON Force You will need to find a local tuner in your area or find some to etune your car.
