skratch16 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I think the general consensus on this forum from the posts I've read is that a V1 AP for a 2005 will not work on a 2005.5 LGT. However, I've called Cobb to ask if the issue would be resolved with the latest firmware update, to which they (2 different people) answered yes! One of them really makes me question this, though, because he said that there shouldn't be an issue, regardless of the firmware update. I really respect the knowledge base on this forum, but I can't think of a reason Cobb would tell me it will work when it won't, especially if it's keeping them from a potential sale of a new AP. Can anyone clear the waters for me on this matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJMC Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 There is a LGT 2005.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skratch16 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 The way I understand it the 2005.5 had a change in it's restrictor pill. It wasn't an official model change, just something that affects accessports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I have heard of the 05.5 model. I don't know what the difference is but I have heard if of it.

I was beginning to think I had been hallucinating all of the "2005.5"s I'd seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Search is your friend: Read this pdf about the differences Read this thread, tells you all you need to know, hint:it is only the base map that is wrong as it looks for a different sensor and throws a cel looks like all the 05.5s are autos Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

ih8vtec13 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I did look into this when I got an AP used a while back. Yes the 05.5 only effects the 5EAT and the only differance is that they took out a fuel tank pressure sensor. You can update the AP to run 05.5 firmware and it will be fine. On the other hand if you have an 05 it will run 05.5 maps fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ih8vtec13 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 its all good, I know how frustrating it is to not find what you are looking for. I think that took me like 3 days to find it all out and it was on the Cobb forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I wonder who you talked to. I had this resolved with one phone call. I can't remember who I talked to, but he told me what I needed to do and sent me the firmware update. Basically the firmware update only affects you if you reflash back to stock.

skratch16 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 I talked with Law and Sean at Cobb. They both told me the same thing, but I had convinced myself otherwise before I even called. It took me a while (along with help from this forum and assurance from Jorge @ P&L) to realize I was just flat out wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
