HansGT Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 ^ they do have updates from time to time. you can check your map version # on your computer. the latest can be found on cobb's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psucaptainkickass Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Dear god. Just go download the accessport manager software, install it. Download whatever maps you want in whatever file format they come in. Connect AP to computer, Open Accessport Manager Use the Manager's browser to find your downloaded maps and send them over to the AP... I don't understand what the complication is unless you mess something up. And no your K&N drop in won't affect anything. The car already gets enough air through the paper filter, and won't use the extra coming through the K&N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLGTaru Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 So, I'm looking at the AP right now....it shows all the maps on it, which say they are intended for a 2008 LGT...no maps say specifically for the 2007, which is what I have. Do I need to go to Cobb's Website and get the 2007 maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrCloud Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 If you've installed the AP on the car, it will present a list of maps for that car -- they recognize the car and adjust accordingly. If you get an empty list, then you need to do the download. If you haven't installed the AP, then do so. Installation is not the same as choosing and flashing a map. As I said, the AP changes when it's married. HPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLGTaru Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I went to update my AP just to see if the latest version was on.....it is now stuck on updating...and nothing is moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLGTaru Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I unplugged it from my comp, then took it out to my car to plug it in and it turned on and all it says is updating, but nothing is moving. Now I come back inside to plug it in and it is froze on updating....the AP appears in my AccessPort Manager, but all of the maps are gone from it, they don't show up.

TPLGT Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 So were you able to reflash? Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLGTaru Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah, I was able to reflash. I flashed the Stage 1 93 octane....that's what it showed for the title of the map, then description it said 91 octane for some reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLGTaru Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 But anyways it's good, little bit more power. I am going to be buying a PDX Stage 1 map soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have a PDX MAP...nice powaahh! Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Just a panel filter will make it run lean? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLGTaru Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have a PDX MAP...nice powaahh! Yeah, I cannot wait! I think the PDX map should make some pretty decent power over the Cobb Stage 1 OTS map. No. I'm sure it will be fine. No CEL so far, but I haven't drove much yet. Is there a number of miles you should drive before you kind of get on it, after you flash the Stage 1 map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Five Sti-L Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Flash back to stock or remove AP from vehicle altogether? 2 VERY different things If just flashing back to OEM program, no you don't need to connect the green plugs. If "unmarrying" the AP from your vehicle, then absolutely you need to plug the greens. Quick question, if I want to remove Stage I, do I have to put the car in test mode (i.e. plug those green cables at the foot of the passenger side)?

TPLGT Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 BTW, If I was you, I would disconnect the battery cables and reset the ECU. Then take it out for a spiritied drive. This will get the ECU a fresh reset. The car may then feel better. GL Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPLGT Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 No, you. I have found that resetting the ECU starts you off new. The ECU learns and the car feels better. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLGTaru Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 No, you. I have found that resetting the ECU starts you off new. The ECU learns and the car feels better. So, the ECU is already flashed to the COBB OTS Stage 1 map. Are you saying that all I should do now is disconnect the battery? How long should I leave it disconnected? Then when I reconnect it the COBB map will still be there correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yes...disconnect the cables for 30 sconds and then reconnect. Go out and drive the thing kinda hard. The ECU learns your driving style. This can help better performance. You have flashed the cobb map to the ECU so it will still be there...no worries. When you drive the car, you may feel it hitting different spots on the MAP...it will then take off...kinda cool feeling. BTW, see what you're hitting for boost in 3rd gear, WOT. I had issues hitting proper boost when I went stage 1. The Tuner had to add a smaller restrictor pill. When this was done, it was like night and day. Rehab is for quitters.

SubLGTaru Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 For some reason, I thought that when you disconnected the battery cables, that was a way of setting the car back to the stock ECU setting???? Maybe I read that wrong. I still have my AP plugged in when I am going WOT in third gear? What setting on the AP do I have to be in for it to tell me what PSI I am hitting for boost? Sorry for all the dumb questions, I am new to the AccessPORT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 NOpe...you can disconnect the battery and the map you're running will still be there. If you have the V2 AP, scroll through the settings there is a setting to show boost. In stage 1 you should be hitting 16 or so. BTW, buy a boost gauge set up. Rehab is for quitters.

SubLGTaru Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks for all of the helpful info! I appreciate the patience! I will try that tonite and see what I get. Yeah, a boost gauge would be nice to have...I will prob get one in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 No problem. I hope thigns work out. BTW, I have AVO gauge pod that I use...it's a nice setup vs. the cubby. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
