Personally, I'm unaware of long term abilities in regards to permanently clearing codes. I only know some of the things it can do now.

 

can this control the electronic throttle? meaning a different mapping for response or prevent it from closing when under boost?

 

not even a rough idea? like 20added hp? lol

 

Your car is pretty much stock as far as power mods (and I use the term power mods loosely). This should really be interesting. Who's doing the testing of the stage 2 map and what mods do they specifically have (part/manufacturer)?

 

One of the genius bits of design with Hymee was the OBDii plug. he made it very low profile with the line coming out the side



which makes it very easy to have plugged in without interference. i had the cable run in the car so that it was mostly concealed and left it in the car. i could reach under the dash and plug it in without looking and the cables stay nicely out of the way. makes it nice and easy to keep on all the time (if you want) to see your AFR etc.

 

No, it can't.
You will need the software for that.
As it stands, the AP is just a programmer. It moves flashes on and off of the PCM.
You can log and observe the PCM and can perform all the basic stuff that any of the available scan tools can do. That is pretty much it.

The StreetTUNER software will give you the availability to tune your own personal AP and that is it.
The AccessTUNER software is the pro version and will allow tuning multiple units.
The results are locked and cannot be shared.
Turning off PIDs and such will be dependent on what Cobb wants you to have access to, which will be dependent on what the beta testers give as feedback.

 

however multiple maps will be offered, which may include maps that will disable the CEL for being catless for instance... trey commented on that as a real possibility, but would not offer a flash that disables the TPMS sensors because of legal concerns

 

The "basic" included flashes about be just that - basic. They would be semi-optimized for N/A applications with fundamental things adjusted for power.
They aren't going to venture into the peripherals because of the liability (like r0tor said) and because there are so many options.
The really deep stuff is going to be left to authorized dealers.

 

there's a very specific reason why Cobb didn't go with a 90 deg OBD2 plug, if you ask they may reiterate what that reason is, as I recall it was because none of them met some high grade hardware specification they require for quality reasons

 

maybe a noob question but, it shouldent matter that i have the racing beat flash already right?

 

you wont have it after u flash it with the accessport

 

Yeah, you are already flashed.

 

What I want to know, is if the COBB base maps will cook CATs after a few thousand miles like the RB Race flash may do.

 

What i want to know is....WHEN CAN I BUY THIS DAMN THING???

 

Sure you will. You can save the current flash. And an update for me, probably this coming weekend/early next week before anything further. Cobb won't have the map to the local shop until Thursday.

 

I had the OE cat max temp discussion with them previously so I doubt it

and I'm not so sure that some of those RB race flash cat failures weren't from running heavy pre-mix rather than high temp

 

The failure mode for pre-mix is different than from high temp.
It could have been either, but an inspection would make it clear either way.
It is not atypical to see CAT temps around 1800°F on an OE calibration and near 2000°F with tuning.
No CAT will survive that for long, regardless of the marketing hype.
Even the metal matrix CATs will release their rhodium under those conditions.

 

sorry, I believe I've already proven that not to be the case

 

So, what were your EGTs and how long did you sustain them?

Back on topic -

I have the software now and it is all installed and operational.
I've run some pony tricks just to verify that it works (upped the idle, permanently disabled certain CELs, changed ignition advance, etc.).
It works.

I'm going to go get some calculated load data logs so I know what the ranges are and start porting my calibration from the E-Manage to the AP.
Hopefully, I'll be running without the E-Manage by tomorrow afternoon.

 

I forgot you got yours :o What are they allowing you to report Jeff?

 

Well, I'm pretty sure I can talk about it all I want, as long as I don't take screen shots or make detailed lists of stuff.
I can certainly talk about what it does, which is a damn lot.

 

does it have a screen for tire dia???

not sure which thread, but you did say it can kill a single cel by #?

maybe a new thread with the info! q@a

beers

 

Each individual DTC can be switched off permanently with the AccessTUNER Pro software.

Tire diameter is a function of the ABS HU, so I don't see how you would turn that off from the PCM (or why, for that matter - just buy the proper tire so you speedo isn't off).

 

Now, this is starting to get very interesting.

 

you dont turn it off. you modify it as you do like fuel, spark, ect......
