[COBB Tuning]

NOTE: Please see the COBB Pro Tuner Directory on our website for the most up to date listing of BMW Pro Tuners. This list will continue to grow as new pro tuners come on board. If your tuner of choice does not have AccessTUNER Pro for BMW, let them know you are interested in a BMW Pro Tune from them. More tuners will acquire the software as it becomes clear that this is a market that can help build their tuning business.



COBB Tuning is proud to announce the release of AccessTUNER Pro tuning software for AccessPORT equipped BMW N54-powered vehicles. The AccessPORT is the only hand-held OEM ECU flashing, managing and monitoring device available for N54 equipped BMWs, and when combined with AccessTUNER Pro software, the result is a groundbreaking, dyno-tunable engine management system with all of the sophistication and drivability inherent in the factory BMW ECU. A significant amount of time has been spent creating a simple, straight-forward interface that takes the mystery out of BMW's complex load-based tuning system. Intuitive changes produce predictable results and let you get down to the task of tuning.

AccessTUNER provides control of vital engine parameters to the user, such as; VANOS (both requested and actual), ignition timing, wastegate duty cycle, fuel tables, torque limiters, throttle control, rev limiters, speed limiters and many more. Over 70 tables in the DME have been exposed and are editable through AccessTUNER, giving unprecedented control of the factory BMW engine management system. Customizable data monitors let the tuner choose which DME channels are monitored to see how tuning changes impact the behavior of the engine. The built-in data logging capability can capture data from over 70 channels from the DME, including; individual knock voltage for each cylinder, timing correction for each cylinder, VANOS requested and actual, wastegate duty cycle for each bank, 9 different boost related monitors and many more. Data can be recorded simultaneously from multiple monitors across the entire rev-range, allowing detailed data analysis after a dynamometer test. 3-D graphical mapping gives the user a comprehensive view of across three axis to evaluate where performance can be maximized. An integral dashboard shows user-chosen gauges to be displayed during the tuning process. The BMW AccessTUNER Tuning Guide is a great reference to learn more about how the BMW N54 DME operates and how changes to tables will impact engine performance.

The COBB Tuning Off-The-Shelf calibrations work as a great starting point for custom tunes, so tuning from scratch is not necessary. Tuners can modify OTS calibrations and create multiple maps to accommodate different bolt-on parts, turbo-upgrades, fuel types, throttle response, environments, fuel economy, etc. Once tuning is complete, all of the custom maps can be loaded onto the AccessPORT and prepare the driver for any situation. With the unmatched features and convenience of the AccessPORT, COBB Tuning's exceptional customer support, and the addition of true DME control with our powerful new AccessTUNER Pro custom-tuning software, BMW N54 engine tuning just got real!

Great news!

What is the difference between this and the race version?

Congrats. I can only imagine the amount of effort involved to get this done. Someone deserves a raise.

AccessTUNER Pro is for professional tuning shops that perform engine tuning on a dyno. It allows pro tuners to tune an unlimited number of vehicles and gives them the option to lock their maps to prevent tampering and protect their tuning IP.

AccessTUNER Race is for enthusiast tuners/vehicle owners, with the same tuning capabilities as AccessTUNER Pro, but is married to a single AccessPORT and the maps are not lockable, so they can be shared between fellow AccessTUNER Race users.

Thanks,

Gary

[whoosh]

Fantastic!

I said it on the other forum, but NICE! Thanks to the Cobb team, this just killed every other tuning platform for the N54... IMO of course .

Good explanation... will we get a race version and is there an ETA for such product?

[lawwailok]

keep up the work!

[Syndicategt]

Of course this happens (along with single turbos) after I decided to sell my car.

We have been working on AccessTUNER Race as well and we expect it to be available soon. We do not have an ETA on the software as it will depend on how final development and testing progresses. We do understand the level of interest in ATR and we are motivated to get it into your hands!

Thanks,

Gary

[nafoo]

Looks really complicated. I'll leave my custom tuning to the Pros

[BES335xi]

Whoa! Great news & Fantastic work @Cobb Team.
.
The FS section is going to blow up now lol

[Proper Motion LLC]

I need this, i have tentatively worked out an appointment for late March at Cobb So Cal

[dzenno]

BOOOOMMMMM!!!!!

Other than the ATP release, in the works is tuning the RB turbos with the N20 3.5bar map sensor to go past the 20-21psi limit of the stock tmap...This was discussed for a while now and after waiting for it to arrive for a while it is now already installed on the Cobb RB turbo N54, scaled in the DME boost/voltage conversion tables, and is hitting the dyno very soon Finally the RBs will get their chance at 20psi+ with proper fueling and timing control to boot!

Congrats Cobb!

PS: Interesting to see some tOOners copying this N20 idea even though their stuff is most original of them all

Fun stuff
