Hey im buying a used accessport next week. I know there are gigantic threads about the Accessport but as i was going through pages and pages i did not find much about buying one USED. Most of the info was for people who purchased the AP themselves.


I have a few questions.

1) The accessport im buying is coming with an all black dongle. Its not the grey and red one. Is that a newer version? I was told it is the version 2.5.

2) Is there anything i have to make sure i tell the owner to do before i pick it up ?? Besides uninstalling it to his car ??

3) Any more info i need to know please let me know. I dont want to buy this and not being able to use it.


Thanks

 

1. It's the newer. I have one, and I like it (plug into the OBD-II port, AND plug into your laptop at the same time. Very cool... once I figure out how to make use of that :P )
2. Uninstall it from his car, then marry it to yours. You're golden!
3. That's about it.

Are you going to purchase tuning from MM?

 

1. Yes, that is the newer version.
2. No, just make sure it is uninstalled.
3. If you want to tune yourself I think you need the AccessTuner Software or buy the MMCCS from MazdaManiac.

 

Thanks !!! Rx8Soldier. Yea later i plan to. But from what i have been reading, he takes decades to send the tune to you. For now, i just want to get more familiar with the device. Im absolutely terrified i do something wrong and mess up my ECU

 

I was the same! I have no trouble tinkering with mechanical thingamajigs, but when it comes to electrical, I'm as scared as a virgin on her wedding night! (Or a fat kid on a treadmill?)

It's very user friendly. Yeah, he is taking a while, but the outcome will be worth it!

 

LOL !! glad to know im not the only one

 

party rockkk is in the house tonighhhttttttttttt

 

^

 

provided you fill out the 11 deadly questions correctly there is rarely ever an issue getting a tune from MM

 

Sorry one last question how would warranty work when i buy it used ??

 

 

 

Has anyone been able to get ahold of MM lately? I Emailed him last week and still havent got a response as I have been waiting about 3.5 months for my 4.01 tune.

 

^ Thats exactly why im hesitant to get the MM tune. I dont want to pay then have to wait months for it to arrive.

 

Ya I would make a bigger deal of it but my car is parked for the winter anyway... but it'd be nice to know where the hell my tune is!!! haha maybe I'll just have to insure my damn car and re-log just in case something was wrong with my submission but as far as I know I recieved an email back about 2 days after submitting saying my submission looked good....

 

He's 20 feet away from me right now. I see him everyday.
But I'm not going to ask him anything about anyone's tune. Please PM Flashwing and he can answer any questions you may have.
If you haven't received a tune from him it's usually because of an email addy change, name change, 11 deadly questions are wrong or the logs you supplied are incorrect.

 

No, please do not PM or email me. The instructions are specific that ALL communications regarding tunes for the MMCCS need to be directed at "ap (at) mazdamanaiac.com".

Some people have PM'd or emailed me directly but honestly I require emails sent to that specific address to be able to accurately track who I have talked to, what I've told you and the time frame of the communications.

I will update the accessport threads with this information.

 

(mazdamaniac.com) fixed

Now, I sent you an email on 2/2/11 asking a few specific q's. Did you get that email? (shortys17_83@ hotmail . com)

 

OK. Don't send an email to Flashwing.

 

No worries Erick. For anything else my email and PM box is wide open and I'm free to field a wide array of questions including what my favorite foods are, what I think about before falling asleep and what happens when I get bored.

To the AP address? If so, I get quite a few there so I might have set it aside to address your questions. I'll check when I get home in the morning.

 

1. haggis
2. masturbating
3. **********

 

That is 100% totally inaccurate. As someone who knows me I cannot possibly believe you would stoop to such degrading answers for an obviously easy answer.

Haggis is not my favorite food.

/end threadjack

 

lol

 

Flash I also sent an email last week to the AP address that I never got a response to (Jesse.Aumiller@usask.ca) Would you be able to look into that? As far as I know my submission should have been fine (submitted Oct. 20/10)... unless something with the actual log was incorrect... if so I'd like to know because I'd gladly insure my car for a week to data log again for a submission so I can hit some positive manifold pressures come spring (yay)!!!!!

Sorry for the thread jack as well.... desperate times...

 

Way to thread jack my thread LOL
