Determining ECU Type/Number (Cobb ?)

EastCoast335i · 07-25-2011, 12:39 PM

Hi,
I'm waiting to receive my Cobb AP tomorrow and have already downloaded the AP Manager. After some more reading I came upon Cobb's Map Database.

How do I determine my ECU type/number (listed below)?
So I can DL the appropriate maps?
Or is this done automatically after connecting the Cobb?

I742S
I761S
I860S
I880S
I890S
I8A0S
IF80S
IGD0S
IHE0S
IJC0S
IJE0S

You wont know until you connect to your car if I recall correctly.

^^ yup had the same question a few months ago when I got my COBB AP. Plug into car, then plug back into computer, open up AP manager and it will show up on the screen
