Hi Cobb,
Any update on the ETA for AccessTUNER Pro? EDIT: The reason I'm asking is that today is the last day of Q1 2011 Last edited by JABM; 03-31-2011 at 03:41 PM.. |

I've had the Cobb installed for a couple of weeks and just wanted to share my drive home last night.......
I'm cruising along and see an Audi Charging up in my mirrors. Not sure which model at this point as they all look the same from the front I dont feel like moving over so I drop it into 4th and have no problem staying in front and eventually pulling away. We both stay on it long enough to verify that the speed limiter is definitley removed............ At this point I'm also certain that this isn't an A4 2.0. I let him in front to see what I'm dealing with and see that its an A6 4.2 V8. After a quick look I have no problem passing, and trust me he was trying! I know the audi is a bit heavier and wont win any drag races, but the V8 puts out an underrated 350 bhp, and would normally pull away on my stock 335i. So just a mental note that stage 1 Cobb can handle any Audi product shy of the R8, and maybe the S5............ Unless someone has an S5 experience to share? |

Nice kill dude. I think we are all eagerly anticipating Stage 2 so it won't even be a contest.

As an end user, you will have to pay your tuner to custom tune your car. EBIT: ATP is the vendor version which costs money. ATR is the end user version which on all platforms is free. Last edited by bulldog_yyc; 03-31-2011 at 04:43 PM.. |

Just installed Stage 1...wow! Power comes on quick and lasts!!...I am very happy with the COBB AP product. Chris and Turtle were great to deal with as well. I purchased it from MachV.
I've got a Vanguard exhaust on it as well....great combo! |

Installed the access port last weekend on an 08 E90 335i and the power is incredible. However, a couple times I've had the auto transmission just completely miss the downshift under heavy acceleration. The revs just go on until it's bouncing off the limiter. Then once the revs get to 3k or so, the trans shifts. I've only seen it under WOT acceleration. Anyone else see this problem?

I apologize if this has already been covered elsewhere, but I didn't find the answer after a few searches and I don't have the stomach to read all 52 pages in this thread again, let alone all the others.
My question is: Are there any code scanning/clearing cababilities that a BT scan tool has which the Cobb AP can't perform? My understanding is that the Cobb unit will show you the alpha-numeric code itself, but not what the code means. Aside from that though, are there other limitations as well that would make a BT scan tool relevant to those who have the Cobb AP? |

The Cobb has the ability to read and clear codes though. BT tool isnt 100% necessary on a regular stage 1 car, but I'm glad I bought it for a couple misc things throughout the year. I like having full control. |

Mine appeared to read codes fine after I uninstalled last night. I had the infamous p2fa3 code during install and after uninstall I was able to search for codes still and had no codes found.

I just got a ignition glow code (cylinder 6) running the Cobb v201 93 map on my 6MT car with 10k miles on it. Engine mods = Cobb AP, Injen Intake and RPi Exhaust.
I felt the car stutter during a second gear WOT pull right around 4k rpms which the freeze frame data from the BT tool verified. Happened twice within 10mins of driving both in second gear under WOT. The AP didn't even register the code but my BT Tool picked it up under shadow codes. No idea what happened and nothing changed on the car besides just getting an oil change and brakes flushed just prior. The weather was a little warmer today (50's) and the car was idling for a period of time earlier. I use to get this code with the procede v4 if my boost was over 14psi. At 14 it would be fine. With the latest Cobb maps I noticed that boost shoots up like crazy during early part of the rev range and tampering off as the revs climb. Since they are targeting load I'm wondering with the warmer weather its causing my car to overboost to the point that it knocks? My logs always showed my car would have throttle closure because it would overshoot boost but everything would look spot on. Car always felt great but most if not all of my cobb testing was during winter temps ~30 degrees. I'm really wondering if boost would climb too high as the weather gets warmer and warmer. After clearing out the codes with the BT Tool, I went ahead and switched down to the 91octane map and swapped out my injen intake for the oem unit. Car doesn't feel as fast but zero issues. No more stuttering from the limited testing that I was able to do safely. Managed to get one good log. 3rd gear at about 3K rpm to 7K shift into 4th gear while still on the throttle for a few seconds. Looks similar to my earlier logs running the 93 octane map and the car felt normal. No weird stutter. Sent Rob and email and waiting for his response. Boost and Timing is on the secondary axis
