It has a scrollable display that can show you various OBD functions as well as performance data and information about itself and your tuning files.
Datalogging is a function of the software. You will be able to utilize that one the AccessTUNER - RACE software becomes available.

Yes. Of course, you can also turn them off to begin with.
I turn all of the CAT and rear O2 sensor codes to start. I usually do the EVAP and "too rich" codes as well.
Well, you shouldn't get CELs that you don't want (as mentioned above) at all. But, should you get one, its just a few clicks away from history.

Care to list the maps you're including with the AP and what they're tuned for? I don't want to waste any time finding the right map for me when I get it. Instructions are for the weak and patient. :P

Basically, there will be four main "families" - N/A I, N/A II, FI S/C and FI T/C.
Within those families will be versions with different MAF calibrations and different setups for OMP, idle, fans, rev limit, etc.
It will just be a matter of lining up your mod list to the appropriate family and trying the different versions until you find one that gives the most stable fuel trims.
Since the OE MAF is 3 3/8" or something like that and is set for about 350 g/sec, you would be off by a pretty long margin - probably in the 300 g/sec range or 39 pounds of air (about 380 crank HP MAX).
The MAF effectively maxes out at 4.7v. Even though it will go to 5v, the last .3v are not very stable/accurate.

Well hopefully the AP shows the trim as a delta so if you see that the ecu is trying to correct in a big way, you want a different map. That's my guess anyway.

MM, my current LTFT is around + 4% - 6%. I have an 04 w/ stock intake, supercat and greddy exhaust. If i were to utilize the AP, should i have any reservations w/ regards to flashing my ecu with one of your pretuned maps (that matched my mod list) with my LTFT levels being this high?

so if i wasn't so curious, i could throw out all my aftermarket guages and return my interior to oem?
Any AP you buy from me will have dozens of different maps on it for different intakes, injector sizes and levels of modification.
You will also be able to specify things like idle speed, OMP rates, throttle response and target EGT.
Cobb will have many more maps from me and other sources on their site in the coming months.
Between that and the level of service I provide, you wont even need the software unless you are an incorrigible tweaker like me!
Yes. I talked with Scott via e-mail this morning. We had to work out a few details about swapping my HASP with a new one so I could flash the new APs with my locked and branded maps and such. He has a PO from me for a dozen APs now and another dozen in a few days.
He is out of the office sick today, so he should be able to do my order fulfillment tomorrow.
Everyone that already paid for an AP will get updates from me as I receive news on their progress from Cobb.

Honestly, at this point it isn't even a great OBD/CAN scanner.
Its kinda slow and it will only display one thing at a time.
However, that isn't what it is for. It is a calibration transporter. It is a very high-tech funnel - not a calibrated burette.
I'd keep the gauges - they will do a much better job of telling you that something is wrong.

In an ideal world, you want zero, but it isn't uncommon to see people running around with trims in the +/- 12 range.
It can go as high as 22%!
What you would do is load a calibrations, drive around for a while and then read your fuel trims - preferably at a couple of different constant engine speeds.
If the trim is more than +/-4 or so, you would select the next calibration on the list in the proper direction - if your trim was positive, you would flash the next level negative on the list. If your trim was negative, you go to the next level positive.
Then, rinse and repeat.
You won't hurt anything by NOT doing this, you just won't see the maximum benefit.
