Has any one used or attempted to use an AccessPort V3 on a 2014 WRX?
According to Cobb's website, the V3 is compatible up to 2013, and I have been unable to determine whether or not it is compatible with the 2014 WRX.
I know the 13-14 are generally the same, but that's not to say there isn't some ECU differences that go generally unnoticed.
I attempted to contact Cobb last week, but as of this post I have not heard any response from them.
Since there is no official "2014" support or OTS maps available, I'm not going to take any chances with an Accessport until I hear something here or officially from Cobb.
If I hear from Cobb, I will be sure to followup here in case anyone else is interested.
Thanks I will definitely look into them. That's about 2 hours from where I'm located, so not too far, but I'm curious if there is a reputable shop a little closer.
Thank you very much! I will definitely look into some of these shops. Woodbridge and Edison are very close to me.
I have heard back from Cobb, this was the response.
"We are definitely excited about the 2014 WRX! We have recently received ROM dumps for these ECUs and are working on support. It's still premature for any ETAs but we are hoping to have support out sometime soon! Keep a lookout on our website and facebook page for details! If you have any other quesitons, please let me know."
So for anyone else that was interested in the AccessPort for 2014, that is the response directly from Cobb.
I'm definitely going go get a pro tune in the future. My thought was to spend the money on a pro tune when I put on an exhaust, CAI, up pipe, and down pipe. And for now just use an OTS tune to improve the factory tune.
Got you. I think I'll just get it also and do a pro tune. My question is. What If I want to have my friend tune it. What else would I need to buy to be able to do that?
He tunes all my cars and never had any issues. But it's not like he has a shop. I just do street tune then after I use a dyno for the hour so he always gets me good street driving. But I just need to know how I can tune it. I'm used to hondata Kpro.
You can use an OpenPort 2.0 cable, Rom Raider, and ECU Flash.. but if he's not experienced with Subarus I wouldn't let him touch the car. There's about a dozen people in the US that I would trust to tune my car. You can't approach tuning a Subaru like you would an Evo.
If he has the experience and knowledge to do a safe tune then you don't need to be asking any of these questions, he will already have his own hardware to get the job done.
He has knowledge in tuning but he hasn't tuned a subaru but once you data log he can see what's going on and can tune from there but all I see is people using ap. what's the way about it to tune from ap?
Got it but all you had to say was the accessport race. That's what I was looking for the program. But I read up on it. Thanks. Cause I thought it was 2k for the program. But that's for the shops to be able to lock the map.
FWIW - I also emailed Cobb about the compatibility with a 2014 ECU and this is what I got in response:
"I'm glad to see that you are interested in an AP for your vehicle. We are currently working on support and should have it out soon. There were some changes in the ECU that we needed to make to offer all of our features like realtime tuning. We hope to have it released soon.
I would keep an eye out on our website and or on our Facebook for updates."
About time just ordered mine. Just waiting for the site to show the new maps. I want to try my intake already and the map haha. Now the modding begins. Hopefully the maps are good.
well they still dont have the cobb accesstuner race so we cant tune the car yet only make small changes via accessport. they said they should have it out soon tho. i called them up today.
