The main bug that us 07 people were having seems to be resolved with the latest firmware update. the majority of 07's who installed the AP didn't have any issues it was only a handful of us. We are still using beta as well. I finally was able to install the AP on my car this past weekend after the AP had issue installing past 3 percent.

Any dyno numbers on 91 octane guys?

Indeed, you should stick to the map that best-matches the fuel you have available. Using the 93 map with 91 octane fuel will likely have undesirable results and place your engine at unnecessary risk.

thanks

Updating the firmware on your AccessPORT should take between 5-10 minutes.

No sir, after verifying you're on the latest released firmware, you simply need to add the new maps to your AccessPORT then change to the new map via the "Tune" menu. Changing maps is very quick (a few mins at most)!

Yes sir, we are still officially in the "beta" stage until we verify that all issues have been addressed. The "3%/wipers" issue was the one large outstanding one, so we should have some good news soon regarding full 2007 support

Thanks to all for your questions!

You guys should definitely try it out, or wait until Cobb chimes in with an official post.

Hey Lance a few of us updated our APs this weekend with the firmware update mentioned. I didn't have any issues installing it. It went right through like it should have. No wiper issues at 2 percent. Did you all put something in the firmware and beta ware this past weekend to resolve the issue? Or the issue we were originally having is that a work in progress still?

[Tuner1984]

Also I have to say that the AP is a great product. Your customer support has been great, and the power from the AP is awesome!!!

same question... mine installed fine after the weekend firmware update, wondering if you are working on another update though, let us know so we can make sure to download the most recent version.

also any timeline for the 2.02 map to refine some of the driveability of the tune?

I orderred my unit over a week ago! I paid 80 dollars for over night expedited UPS shipping and my unit is no where to be found

Once I download the softwhare to my computer is it straight forward to download the right Beta map to my Unit? I want to run 2.01 * Is this still the best? *
Or is 2.02 pusshing out just as much power with better throttle response?

I dont have a lot of time to research this week, work is crazy, I am busy from when I get home untlil evening and I want to install my unit Saturday Morning.

Thanks guys!

a word of warning, you are going to get crushed with tax and duty.

On the positive side, updating the unit and installing it is really easy. Download the latest version of AP manager and install. Under the options, make sure you check for beta firmware, plug in the AP via supplied USB cables and click update, youre good to install on your car after update is done.

I just uninstalled the Cobb AP from my car. no com errors issues... I am very happy about this. finally I can go get the car serviced... A side note after uninstalling I had to reset the ECU via The Cobb AP. My car had a light show going on after I uninstalled. It all worked out though. also just curious has anyone uninstalled noticed the fuel pump going on and staying on through the whole process?

Haven't tried yet kinda nervous bout uninstalling it. I'm just happy it installed. Ive got a bt scan tool as well so I'll just delete any shadow codes if any.

Maybe I'm slow but what do mean by you will get crushed with taxes and duty?

[MikesBMW]

I was able to do a couple 5-100 pulls today and on the second one i got the engine malfunction light and message on my i drive, said the car was operating under reduced power. I slowed down as soon as i saw the light... later turned the car off and back on on.. check engine light/message went off. Im sure there is some hidden code but ill just clear it with the AP. Awesome power! I need an LSD so bad tho.

getting shit shipped to Canada is expensive, we get taxed quite a bit and UPS adds on like a $50 brokerage fee just to fill out paperwork, anyways, just venting really

Oh I got you. I didn't realize that at all!! That's alot of money for shipping.

If everyone isn't aware or received emails on it, I received an email from Lance stating the 3 percent issue should be resolved and everything should be good to go.

I just installed the latest firmware 1815 without any issues, it took 20 minutes overall. The only interesting thing was that during the flash process, my lpfp was on almost all the time.
I backed up my stock rom on my computer, now it's time for a test drive.

[Alan l.]

The fuel pump thing is normal.

UPDATE:

As mentioned above, it appears that the 2007 "3%" install/uninstall issue has been resolved. For anyone still experiencing the issue, please update your AccessPORT to the latest beta firmware using AccessPORT Manager 2.0. Firmware updating can be done in both "installed" and "uninstalled" states; no need to uninstall your AP prior to updating the firmware! Thank you to all for your patience as we worked to identify and solve this issue. Please note we are still calling this a BETA product for the time being as we'd like to be 100% sure this issue has been resolved before moving to a formal release.

Best regards-
Lance

I have the same issue, it seems either COBB hasn't delimited it or it's a bug.
