blackobxt Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 When I purchased my 05 outback xt it was already tuned with opensource. I would prefer the accessport for a few reasons, would I have any issues using an accessport on my protuned car? Would it just download the protune as the "stock" map, or is this going to be a run around of trying to re-load a stock map or buy a new ecm?

bnguyenbb6 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 First, download your current map and save it. Then download a stock map from romraider. Flash it via opensource. Now, transfer all of your maps(note the different units). Flash with the AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Ok looks like I need to buy the stuff for open source and accessport. Yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, transfer all of your maps(note the different units). Flash with the AP. Are you sure the AP will load maps that were modified on another platform? I've never heard of this being done. Are you talking about him using ATR to edit a stock map with the values from his pro-tuned ROM? If that's the case, note that not all tables defined in Ecuflash or Romraider may be present in ATR. OP, what exactly are your reasons for wanting to switch to the AP? Sent from some electronic device.

blackobxt Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Lol I know I just don't have any experience tuning with open source. The car is my wife's, and she likes the idea of being able to switch from e85 and 91 maps without having a laptop in the car and I've got some experience with accesstuner. Honestly it just boils down to preference as silly as it sounds. Can you download the opensource software and mess around with it without having a map uploaded to it?

gto7419 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If you are afraid to tune with open source because of lack of experience, tuning with an ap is probably a bad idea. I prefer open source and refuse to pay $400 for an ap, but I do understand the desire to switch maps on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about him using ATR to edit a stock map with the values from his pro-tuned ROM? If that's the case, note that not all tables defined in Ecuflash or Romraider may be present in ATR. You have to copy and paste the modified maps and match them in ATR. The map wont just load in ATR. Its tedious but you can do it. I did this earlier this year when I switched to the AP and all the maps that were modified in RomRaider(I went through each one) were in ATR. Unless you have some beta parameters, ATR actually seems to have more defined parameters. Use at your own risk. Its time consuming and you need to double check everything but it can be done.

ragman Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Honestly, I think your best bet, if you are set on getting an AP, is going back to the original Protuner, and ask them to convert the map to an AP tune. My guess is that you'd do the whole tuning process over again, albeit it should be a quicker process, but I think you'll be loading maps, making runs, capturing logs, rinse/repeat. Hopefully the tuner is local or does etunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 I plan on re-tuning the car myself from the start. The car runs ok, but is pig rich and feels very bland for its setup and the previous owner told me it was on a break in tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnguyenbb6 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Itsme- I want to say that it is a2wc522n but you should look at your current map and see what you have. A learning view or just opening your rom in romraider should be able to tell you which rom you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
