JBear Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I finally got around to plugging in the AP SUB 002 I bought from another member on here like... forever ago. Car is bone stock otherwise, but I have some basic parts going in next week and wanted to make sure it works first. It does, didn't have any problem flashing a Stage 1 map on it, car seemed to drive fine. Regardless, according to info in my AP, the last firmware update it received was back in 2011. On the Cobb website there have been a whole bunch of firmware updates for this unit up to as recently as last year, but for some reason I can't update the AP. I put the disc in and installed the software on my PC, but there wasn't really anything useful there in what came up. Plugged in the AP, and was told after a minute of searching that it couldn't locate the driver for the device. Huh? I've done some searching here and found nothing about this, Cobb forums are closed, their "help" section has nothing. What little I've gathered is that with the software on the PC, when I plug in the AP it should automatically determine if there are updates. I got nothing, and I know it's years out of date. WTF? PC is running Win7 if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldsoda Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I got the software from the website, not a CD. perhaps the accessport manager needs to be a newer version? also - give Cobb a call on the phone, they are very helpful and have taken great care of me any time I have called them for technical issues or otherwise.

battelready Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Yea, the manager has been updated. Go to the website and download the newest one. From there you can update the Acessport. I bought an auto be more involved in my uninvolvedness . 200k+ Club If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. My high mileage turd.

JBear Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks folks, I'll try the link. We'll see how the car does on the shelf tune when I get it back from the shop next week, maybe I'll spring for a more custom tune. Dunno, parts are pretty basic, just a Perrin catless up and turbo inlet... not sure how much benefit there is to getting too carried away with custom tunes at this juncture.

You should get a custom one. You'll totally feel the difference because it'll be tailored for your car. I couldn't run cobbs stage 2 because it ran too rich but with a etune, it fixed that.

JBear Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I don't see this car ever being stage 2, but who knows? In other news, the link worked. I was able to (I think) update the firmware, at least the version on the AP is current, but for some reason even after walking away for an hour it still didn't successfully reboot according to the app on the pc. Now I can't get the device to eject. Well, the pc thinks it's disconnected, and the app is closed, but the AP still says I need to exit the application before disconnecting. Ugh.

Max Capacity Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Call Cobb. Or, if your close to TA stop by and have Mike update the AP and do a street tune. You'll be amazed at how much more you like the car after he does his magic. Where in NE are you ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Cobb OTS maps arent listed for upgraded turbo inlets You should get a custom one. You'll totally feel the difference because it'll be tailored for your car. I couldn't run cobbs stage 2 because it ran too rich but with a etune, it fixed that. Totally worth it! I'd get a DP too at the same time, which we also sell. -Brian Contact us for all your tuning and performance parts needs! Etuning the legacy community since 2008!

Max Capacity Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Your a 30 minute drive or so from Mike. Really, he is one of the best in the country if not the best with these cars, I can't stress enough how much you should take advantage of his services. People from the west coast would love to be as close to you are from TA. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

JBear Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 That's a lot closer than where I go now. I wouldn't give my guy up as a mechanic, but we'll see how it goes with the tuning. For all I know, he gets his tunes from AT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
