I wanted to jump in and get feedback from the users that were waiting for support. Our latest firmware update should have added support to all ROMs that we have recieved to date. If you are STILL waiting for support, please PM us and let us know that your AccessPORT is still not functioning properly. Do note, that we will honor the money back gaurantee starting when your unit becomes functional!

We will be adding more tunes to the database as we have more and more vehicles on our dyno. Be sure to check out the Dyno Database for dyno graphs on Off the Shelf and tuned vehicles!

Is there any chance of the BMW dealer noticing the flash even if it has been flashed back to the stock version? I would think the car would at least record a log/history of flashes or other information that would indicate that things have been functioning outside of the stock limits. There must be traces left behind.

I wouldnt mind a bit of a guarantee also. Much like I had with APR with my GTI flash, they guaranteed that if you ever brought the car in for service and was denied due to detecting the flash, APR would completely refund the cost of the flash ($650) at the time

Lets see. You can lose your warranty and walk away with nothing......or lose lose your warranty and put $1,000 in your pocket. Given those two choices, I know which one Im taking.

Questions for Cobb and/or current users:

1 - How much adaption time does the car/ECU need after being flashed?

2 - Looking at the FAQ an intake is OK for Stage 1, and a catback exhaust (stock cats) is OK for Stage 1 - are both still OK for Stage 1 or would I need to wait for Stage 2 maps?

i'm curious about the boost control/overshooting boost scenarios. it seems to me like actual wastegate control is a more ideal boost management protocol, but i haven't fully researched cobb's methods. if i'm overlooking posts in this thread or e90post, i apologize....there's definitely a lot to sift through.

Hey guys, we understand your concerns as it pertains to your warranty and denied claims. We have done some testing with some of our friends at a local BMW dealership and we have found that if you uninstall the AccessPORT completely, the technicians could not find any trace of a previous flash, even knowing that one had been present. They went looking for it, so to speak and could not find any evidence of there being any tampering with the ECU.

I am researching some of the other concerns you guys have and will post back with more info!

COBB looks like an attractive option to be sure but I'll sit on the fence waiting to see if its a sure thing that BMW cannot pick up a flash anywhere in the system.
A few 'friends" testing it at this time is not good enough for me. Have 3 years left on my warranty and cant afford to have that go down the drain.
