1)Can you run a Base map of 93 octane and a real-time map of 91 octane?

2) Can you run a base map of version 1 and a real time map of version 1.01?

 

1) yes, but you should probably do the reverse, and only pick the 93 when R/T map when you know you have good fuel and you need the extra power. Thsi way if your ECU is reset it will default to the safer 91 octane.

 

2) You don't don't want to use 1.0 as a base because the base map also includes some program code changes, not just map data. So you want to get the latest code.

Doesn't anyone else just leave the headlight switch ON all the time? All this work about wiring and disabling just so you don't drive in the dark with just your DRL's on.

 

Turn em on and leave em on!

 

I can't believe you guys drive around at night on DRLs and don't notice the interior lights blazing at full strength.

Hi there, if you're windshield cracked without any rock impact it should have been a warranty issue, not an insurance issue...

 

It is not normal for it to crack even in extreme cold (I used mine in -22F).

You can store 6 base maps and 10 real-time maps on the AP.

 

I asked Cobb about a fuel economy map and the reply was "we're working on that, should be available in the near future".

 

The AP needs to be connected to the ECU in order to switch real-time maps but then you can remove it and the R-T map will function as long as the ECU is not reset.

 

I do not believe you lose anything when using a R-T map. The base map comes with program code changes, not just map data. A R-T map is apparently just map data but the features of your base map (like CEL activity, anti-knock, etc.) are still in use.

Funny how almost all OB owners on here have an XT...

Wow, that's quite a few now reporting this problem.

 

Thankfully, it hasn't happened to me yet. At least I''ll know what to do if it ever does!

 

I'd be curious to see Subaru's explanation.

Does that actually improve the ACC's ability to keep you comfortable?

 

:D:D

Excellent post Craig, hopefully it will help a few people.

 

However, it does highlight the fact that this is a poorly designed system that gets in the way rather then making your life easier as a well designed ACC system does.

 

I know, many of you disagree. What can I say, I must be whiny A-hole for wanting my car to work properly.

On my OBXT wagon, the rear wiper switch is on the tip of the regular wiper stalk. It rotates through three settings: intermittent, continuous, and washer spray.
