Cobb Access Port... Any updates??
Anyone have any updates on the Cobb Access Port? I was considering a Utec for awhile there but I think this is the way to go since it is just around the corner.

No cutting / splicing / installing / just plug and play right into the ECU... Cant beat that!

It appears to be very similar to the Cobb system, but it is available now.

Cobb has actual tuner capabilities where you can "live tune" your car without the need for a flash. It talks live to your ECU and changes paramiters ie: timing / AF / boost / remove speed limiter / increase idle and more.
I am not a fan of flashes myself, I like to have the ability to change my tune if needed. LIke when I go from a 101 / 91 octane mix to a tune for 91.
I hope the Cobb will have the ability to store more than one tune tho to make it easier to go between them.

The AccessPORT by COBB Tuning, Inc. is a handheld programmer that allows you to unlock your vehicle's hidden potential by reprogramming the stock Engine Control Unit (ECU).
With a short and guided installation process you can upgrade the ECU in your car from stock to one of our performance oriented tuning maps. The unit uses the OBD-2 diagnostic port, and requires no cutting, wiring, or other such modifications, simply plug-and-play.
The crowning function of the AccessPORT is COBB's unique 'Real-Time' mapping, which allows you to change the tuning data within seconds, as opposed to minutes. Simply park, switch realtime, and resume driving, it's literally that easy.
Using our off-the-shelf staged maps, the AccessPORT can unlock the potential of your vehicle by as much as 50hp, and more based on further modifications. The possibilities are endless since the AccessPORT is a short ProTUNE away from giving your car even more potential from the staged maps.
The AccessPORT's features include:
» On-the-fly map switching
» Monitor vehicle sensor data and display in analog or digital format
» Vibrant color graphic display with First-Ever full 260,000 color OLED, high-resolution screen
» Read/Clear engine trouble codes
» Preloaded with performance, economy and convenience maps
» Update via the Internet
» Measure 0-60 and ¼ mile times
» Adjustable on-screen Shift Light functionality
» Estimates horsepower and torque
» Displays current and averaged fuel economy
» Drag race simulation with reaction time and “time slip” data
» Built in on-screen help mode function
» Multi-Language support
» RoHS compliant (Lead Free design)
» Custom performance tuning for your specific vehicle and modifications as provided by an
authorized AccessPORT ProTUNER™ center

store many maps
etc etc
It works using the ECU's ram to make live adjustments
then once done flash the ROM with the final image
You can also run "realtime" tunes which are the RAM tunes for say 100 oct or whatever.
I tune the accesport on Subaru's 3-4 times a day 5 days a week and have done so for the last 2.5 years. Its a great product, and well worth the wait
I was going to get technosquare software ($$ eep) to tune mine(and others) but i figured ill wait since the cobb stuff is sooooo much better

Nice, that is what I thought
.... Can you also up the idle?... I buy this and take it to my tuner, correct? I can also store 2 or more "custom" tunes that I can change myself without having to go back in to the tuner? I am in dire need of this so I can get rid of my archane SS Box...

I don't work for UpRev, I just use their products. The combinatiion of Cipher and Osiris seems to do most of what you listed in the quote above. I don't think it's going to have the horsepower measurement or 1/4 mile time gathering code.
AccessPORT looks interesting. If it was available, I'd check it out. I can see why you might want to wait for it, since you're already familiar with it. I hope it comes out soon.

"You guys will be the first to know when and end user tunable version is ready, and I'm sure we will be able to offer an upgrade path for current Osiris users. Honestly, it will be the same software suite, just with the addition of a ROM editor so you can make your own adjustments."

^ that's what I was thinking.

The AP is quite a nice peice
the physical parts are nothing special its the Tuning software that is the best
i have tuned many many other Types of software and this is by far my favorite
and the fact its on the stock ecu is what makes it even better.
If up rev becomes available, thats cool too
the more options the better.

Quote from G35Asian over on G35Driver...
What are the thoughts on this?
"Whats going on Art? So your looking to upgrade from the ss box? Good decision buddy. As you know I have had the UTEC for a while and am loving it. I'm going to boost my G in a few months and have been researching like crazy, lol. As for the tuning port you are looking at, i don't know if it is a good option for you since you are sc'ed, seems more for a NA application. Our cars only come with a MAF sensor from the factory not a MAP sensor. Tuning wise on the stock ecu, a MAF sensor can only read up to about 6psi then fuel map adjustment is maxed. A MAP sensor reads boost and not vacuum which usually comes with cars that are FI from the factory. I don't know if COBB is integrating something to add in a MAP sensor to connect with the stock ecu, obviously more to come from COBB. The main take away here is that with the tuning port you will be maxed out at 6psi for tuning the stock ecu's fuel maps unless COBB finds a way to adapt a MAP sensor to the stock ecu (don't see it happening). Just spend your money on something proven like a UTEC or FCON VPRO if your wallet allows
p.s. you got my number, feel free to call me if you ever have any questions"

on the subie's is it possible to get rid of the maf and just use a map sensor using the COBB??
