XEDE Engine Management System Available Soon!

stephanie at bell engineering just called me with some new details including price; $999 for the mazdaspeed3 and mazdaspeed6 models
 
1000 is a lot of money but considering what the bump is ....wow! This is really going to kick ass

I was reading and I was confused about the fuel injector comments. Do we need to buy fuel injectors to use this system or can it use the stock injectors?
 
Question. If it works like the Cobb AP and you plug it in, it does its thing, and you unplug it, well if say a dealer hooks up its diagnostics.. will they be able to see changes to the ECU? I know on my 05 STi I had AP Stage 2 and the dealer never had a clue.

Totally different beast than the Cobb unit. I have not heard of anyone cracking a Mazda ECU. And the best have tried.

To clear the codes (IF there are any) unhook the battery. Honestly, they probably won't ever know.

I'm assuming your the Stephanie from Begi? If so can you answer my question about the fuel injectors I asked above?
Thanks,

the cobb unit re-writes the ECU code itself, this system does not make hard changes to the code on the ECU itself

What I want to know is how does that price compare to the cobb access port.

the XEDE is a more expensive unit but we feel a much more comprehensive unit in terms of tunability and features. its like comparing a microtech to a unichip.

stephanie/begi does not believe cobb will be able to crack the mazda ecu, and while i have confidence in cobb's ability to do so, part of me believes they might not be able to based on attempts with the protege ecu.
 
from what i read over on teh cobb forums they had already cracked the ecu for the rx8 and the ms6 and were surprised to find out the ms3 uses the same ecu as the cx7 not the ms6... so if what they are saying is true then they have cracked a mazda ecu... not to take away from your thread ken as i believe your comparison was spot on about unichip vs. microtech when comparing the two from what lil i know about both.

good luck

not taking away from it whatsoever, no worries. i do think if anyone can crack it, it will be a company like cobb. that said, i still feel with the feature set and capability that the XEDE is a more powerful and comprehensive system.
