If you uninstall the AP and then reset ECU/clear codes it should go away and not come back. That's how mine was. I think codes only come back if the "problem" is currently detected.

Isnt that what he said he did? I thought the AP could uninstall and then detect and erase codes thereafter? Otherwise youd basically need a BT scanner or something with this, right?

error is gone now..

I now have a p0036 and p2c9e after the exhaust install. The AP resets them, but they keep returning

Does anyone know if I can use a Subaru based Access Port with my 135i if we simply change up the software on the unit?

I'm assuming the hardware is the same, just different firmware and maps

I have a feeling the whole thing would hafta be remapped for the 1 series. And im sure they would charge you plenty for that. No reason not to just sell yours and buy the 1er AP

Theres a nice array of choices. Competition makes the breed stronger. I'm also having a hard time trying to decide which way to go. Im not in a hurry at this point. I'll just lay back and learn more about them all.

After an exhaustive search, I got three different answers from Cobb about whether they can reset airbag codes:

yes
no
maybe

Ultimately, they think a recent firmware revision added the functionality, but they aren't sure about that/those specific code(s). Also, they wanted to be clear that once the code(s) is/are deleted, if you haven't re-installed the seats, the code(s) would immediately come back.

Clear them, yes. Turn them off, no.

Hi Sir,

No need to have a BT tool to clear codes if you have a AP. The AP will clear codes in all the modules.

Cheers,

Car had to go in for an HPFP replacement...

Just to share my experience:
Uninstalled the Cobb unit, not even a peep from the advisor, just as Cobb says, like it was never even there.

Just installed my COBB AP Stage 1 :)

Installation was ridiculously easy...just downloaded the latest firmware online, hooked it up to my car, and done in less than 20 minutes.

Man, the car pulls hard now--I feel like I'm going to break my neck every time I go WOT! Its really hard to keep the tires down--and I'll get wheel "chirps" in almost any gear. When you're accelerating, you can actually hear the turbos spooling up--very cool. And like others have said, when you're not punching it, you can totally drive "normally" as your daily driver, I certainly do

For others who've installed the AP Stage 1--how do you guys launch appropriately? I'm always spinning my wheels initially (I'm a rookie )

Anyway, the ease of installation and flexibility make the Cobb AP worth the $$$ IMO. For a casual enthusiast such as myself who didn't want to mess with the engine bay, this was the perfect purchase. Anyone out there on the fence should just do it! I promise you won't utilize that 30 day money back guarantee

Time to go burn my tires some more...

Nice! I bet it transformed your Evo into a monster too hehe. And I hear you about being anxious to install the AP. I was so impatient that I ordered it "next day air" online and since it required a signature and they delivered at 10:00am last Friday while I was at work, they almost waited until Monday for a second attempt! My advice to people out there ordering it online is to make special arrangements ahead of time if you know nobody is going to be there to sign for it.

Be sure to let us know how it goes! COBB FTW! I'm excited about the new maps coming out at the end of this month
