Hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having with the accessport ... went to load a new map (e85 map!) and accessport got stuck trying to communicate with vehicle. So i tried to monitor live data and it says "cannot communicate with vehicle". I did update to the latest firmware just before trying this map change. Thing is, I did some logging just last week and no problems.
I did notice that the cobb cable is wobbly where it connects to OBD port when connected and if I push downward lightly on the connector the AP loses connection/power until i push it back up. However, it was the same last week when i was logging. SO i am thinking it could be the firmware update OR the cable OR (praying it is not) the OBD port somehow got messed up. I took a pic of the OBD port if anyone can compare and see if anything looks "funny". Thanks for any advice. |

DPs vs FMIC for Cobb AP
So I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere in these 281 pages but then I was hoping I could get a quick answer. I recently installed a Cobb AP on my 2007 335i Sedan AT and I'm currently running the Stage 1 "Sport" ST map. The only mod I have now is the AFE Stage 2 Intake with Dual Air Scoops.
I was looking into my next mod and was wondering whether to get a FMIC and use the Stage 1+ maps or go with the catted DPs and use the Stage 2 maps. In other words, which of these routes would yield the most power, since these mods are similar in price? |

Or he could get catless DPs and run Stage 2+. I've asked about this a number of times and the consensus appears to be that so long as the climate is cool and the goal is to impress the butt dyno (ie: no track and no chance of high IATs) then stg 2+ runs just fine. But you DO need catless DPs for it.

Hey everyone, I have searched for an answer but cant find one so in the mean time I wanted to see if anyone has seen this.
I installed Cobb AP Stage 1 Aggressive ST 2 weeks ago in my 08 E92 335 with no issues, car ran fine, let it warm up and stepped on it and it was amazing. Now last night i decided to take the car out for a drive, I warmed it up and started to drive around, I put it on DS and decided to step on it from around 20 miles all of the sudden the car went limp and the SES light came up, the car felt as if it was vibrating when i tried to get close to 3k. I stopped the car turned it off and on, the light went away no problems, stepped on it and it was fine. Took the car out today and got the same result except that now the SES light stayed on. The vibration is gone but the light is on, im planning on removing the AP and taking it to the dealer to make sure its ok, Has anyone seen this before? |

So I think the only thing you'll be smelling in the car will be your own farts! |

This may have been asked before, but I have he BMW ppk power flash/ecu. Will Cobb ap save that software do me so I can return it to normal? It will also work with the ppk having already been installed right?

S1+ E50 post coming soon, working with PTF as I type. here are my ladder records, I am sure you will be satisfied. Do you have 93 octane in your area? numbers will vary but my mix (20% E85 for a little more octane boost to run aggressive maps ACN 91 is crap) + just running: DCI, COBB, FMIC and ER CP w/Tial BOV.

hey guys so I just installed my TBE today. Prior to the install I had catless dp's and a cobb stage 2 tune.
After installing the exhaust and doing a few test pulls, it seems like the power is there but it continues to cut in an out. Almost as if it is getting shorted of fuel when I step on it. Best I can describe it would be a jittery acceleration. However, a couple of times running up hill I really felt the new power but it isn't consistent. Please any suggestions to this problem would be greatly appreciated. |

Log it, sounds like throttle closures to me due to overshoot. Try doing an ecu reset through AP as well .

Hi guys,
I tried the Stage1+ Agg. this weekend, because temps around here are much better than in August and of course I was curious. I loaded the map on Saturday and did some logs. They didn't look to good, a lot of Timing Corrections. So I decided not to push the car in the high gears and give it some time to adapt. Today on my way to work I did some logs again. They look better but still I'm not happy with the result. The car feels much much better than on the S1+sport map. Much smoother and a lot more power in high RPM's. But still I have a lot of timing corrections. Fuel was 98 ROZ, I will try again with Vpower when my tank is empty. Can someone have another look at the logs. In some I hade corrections after shift mostly when i go from 4th to 5th gear and from 5th to 6th gear. But it seems kind of normal because I saw that also on other logs from users here and other forums. But It seems quite impossible with my car to get an log without any corrections. I mean 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear seems fine and stable but 4th and especially 5th and 6th gear are horrible. And I live in Germany so high gears with highspeed is the thing I consider most important. Because if the car is not happy while running 140 MPH+ the tune is kind of worthless. Another question, can I use E85 to stabalize my Timing corrections? I mean just use 15 or 20% Ethanol? The gas station in near my Apartment offers 98ROZ and E85 so I could get a fill without driving around etc. Will the DME correct the fuel volume according to the AFR? Please rename the files from .txt to .csv The log is in °C and mbar |
