did anybody go to cobb's forum and check out how there speed three took (first) in the street FWD class?

 

[SharkDiver]

they never made an official date for release it was guesstament and from what i here its a pretty close guess.

They also said a long time ago that they will not give a final release date because if something happens everyone cries like the world came to a end...What will happen is they will just call the dealers and say its ok to sell now..I understand what they are talking about and agree.

I've resigned myself to just waiting for the Cobb unless SCT or another hand held reflasher releases something with results before hand.

As promised here is the big post on updates. Please post questions/suggestions here and I will do my best to update the first thread when new information is released/requested. Please keep things technical and succinct, check the first thread often, and do your best to make sure you do not ask questions that have been answered in the first post.

To chant Cobble Cobble, banter, and say “I'm gonna buy!!!” go here: Latest Info from COBB

[size=16pt]New Products[/size]​

[size=12pt]COBB AccessPORT[/size]

Projected Release

• [li]Late March it will be in Beta. Final end-user release is scheduled for mid April.[/li]

Pricing

• [li]Not yet set[/li]

Pre-orders, Deposits, Lists

• [li]At this time we are not making any lists, taking deposits, or doing any types of pre-orders. Once we get information to the dealers they may, but that is something you will have to take up with them and they may make their own announcement on the forms, etc.[/li]

Projected Features

• [li]Improve horsepower, torque, and fuel economy at the touch of a button.[/li]
  [li]Display vehicle data such as boost, RPM, temperatures and more while you drive.[/li]
  [li]Easy installation, no mechanical or computer skills necessary.[/li]
  [li]Connects to your vehicle via the OBD-II port conveniently located under your dash.[/li]
  [li]Easy-to-read color display.[/li]
  [li]Update over the Internet to stay up-to-date with the latest features.[/li]
  [li]Not a "piggyback". Once vehicle's computer has been programmed by the AccessPORT, it can be removed and the settings will stay on your computer.[/li]
  [li]Not just an "ECU reflash" - AccessPORT features enhancements such as on-the-fly mode switching, data monitors, reading DTCs, performance monitors, boost cuts, boost reduction for speed and gears, fuel cuts, RPM limits, throttle body behavior, corrections, in addition to the normal functions like fueling, timing, and boost.[/li]
  [li]The AccessPORT downloads the actual map that was on it. If you are taking your car to the dealership and suspect that they will attempt to update your mapping, then you will have to unmarry it, take it in and have them flash it, then remarry your AccessPORT. This will allow your stock map loaded on your AccessPORT to be the latest factory revision.[/li]
  [li]Once the AccessPORT is married to the car only the AccessPORT can flash it. To allow the dealer to flash your car as normal you will have to unmarry the AccessPORT from your car.[/li]
  [li]The ODB II dataloging is not locked. Any device that reads the OBD II data can still function properly.[/li]
  [li]Only planned for the MazdaSpeed3 at this time.[/li]
  [li]Maps made by AccessTUNER Pro facilities can be shared, however the mapping can only be viewed by that AccessTUNER, not the end user nor another AccessTUNER.[/li]
  [li]Pre-calibrated to maximize performance of stock or modified vehicles*[/li]
  [li]Can be custom tailored to your vehicle by our extensive network of professional tuners**[/li]

* For modifications we have done calibrations for, not for every combo of parts
** May not be on initial release

Requested Features (we will try to work in at release or as an update later)

• [li]MazdaSpeed intake compatibility for our Stage 1 & 2 Maps[/li]
  [li]LC & FFS[/li]
  [li]Higher gas mileage map (Mileage gains TBA)[/li]
  [li]Tire size calibrations[/li]

Power Gains

• [li]Not released yet[/li]
  [li]Features of each map to be specified later[/li]
  [li]We will see if we can make the throttle go to 11. Not just make 10 more opener, because 11 is more. One of the things in the testing regimen is the throttle body behavior. At release we will note exactly when it goes to 11.[/li]

COBB Off-the-shelf Calibrations Included at Initial Release (are only programmed for the modifications listed)

• [li]Stage 1 (Completely stock)[/li]
  [li]Stage 1 + COBB Intake (COBB SF Intake only, otherwise stock)[/li]

  [li]AcccesTUNER Race maps can be shared with other users that have AccessTUNER Race enabled AccessPORTs.[/li]

Repair/Replace/Stolen/Totaled Car Scenarios

• [li]Dies/Busted
  Send it in, we repair it, charge you if it was not a warranty issue (something like your dog ate it), and we send it back out.[/li]
  [li]AccessPORT is Stolen
  You have to send us a copy of a police or insurance report that states that the AccessPORT was stolen. You may have to send us the ECU so that we can get the marriage info off of it. We marry a new AccessPORT to it (or un-marry your ECU) and send them back. We charge for the AccessPORT hardware ($300) which should be being paid to you by your insurance company.[/li]
  [li]Car is Totaled and You Could Not Un-marry the AccessPORT
  You have to send us a copy of a police or insurance report that states that your car was totaled. You send us in the AccessPORT, we un-marry it (we do charge a small fee for this as it takes time), and send it back. This way it can be married to your new car or sold and another person will be able to use it. If you do not have a police report or insurance paperwork that states that the AccessPORT was stolen then you have to pay for another license ($395).[/li]
  [li]You Purchased an AccessPORT from Someone on eBay and it is Married
  Assuming you are not able to contact the seller, you have to send us the AccessPORT and we un-marry it. However, as well as the labor fee we charge you for the license ($395) since the old one is still out there making another car super fast.[/li]
