Hey guys,
I just updated the firmware on my AP and loaded the v3 maps.
I had been running the v202 with alternate throttle mapping for a while, so going back to the standard map was interesting. Anyway, left for Chicago, and while at very light throttle on 5th gear (around 80mph) the car went in limp mode with the half-power indicator. I pulled over, and the idling was very erratic. Shut off and restarted the car and it was ok again. This happened twice on a similar situation. Light throttle on 5th gear at around 80-85 mph.
Very disappointing to have to drive 1 1/2 hours on cruise control at 80mph. I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but with the v202 maps, I never had this problem. The car runs fine on lower gears and on WOT there's no issues.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if it's ok to install the v202 maps on this new firmware? Will my cruise control stop working? This was the main reason why I loaded the v3 maps, and would hate to loose it again.

EDIT: I scanned for codes just now and had the 2D59 one. Hopefully Cobb will have updated maps to fix this soon.

Thanks
