Mindspin311 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I will be purchasing an 05 LGT in the next week or so and I want flash it with Cobb's Stage 1 map once I get it. I know there are two versions of the AP, whats the added benefit of the v2 over the v1? If all I want to do is get a map on the car, will the v1 do the job? In case anyone was curious, this is the car I will more than likely be buying. 05 OBP non-Limited LGT http://dealers.autouplinkusa.com/v/?object=show&AutoId=16949857&Type=U&MaxYear=2009&Make=Subaru&Model=Legacy%20Sedan&sort=PhotoTagId%20Desc&maxrows=20&DealerId=6270#view-image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteyjr Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 No power difference , same maps. Apparently the version 2 also uploads faster and has features the version 1 does not have (like better grapics,estimation of hp , 1/4 mile times etc). Not sure that is really usable as the data from the sensors /accelerometers is questionable. I picked up a version 1 for $ 200 used on ebay and have been happy with it. You probably won't find a ver 2 for less than $ 4-500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaverboy Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 The graphics on the APv2 are not worth a $2-300 premium. There are no accelerometers involved in the dyno features.. just a speed/time algorithm based on the vehicle speed reading. An iPhone or iPod touch running '[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-DFbJQbeSY]Dynolicious[/ame]' is a more accurate performance gauge. I got my APv2 from a friend for cheap, but I'd have a hard time justifying it's cost over an APv1. Then again, I don't really have a choice since I'm connecting it to an '08 WRX.. the APv1 will not interface with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
