Cobb AP V3

Ski Killset · 03-22-2014, 07:32 PM

I went to Cobb yesterday and picked up my V3, and they said to put the car on a battery charger while I install it as it can take 30-45 minutes to load the initial map.

Any risks or tricks to putting the car on a trickle charge during the flash?

Just use the trickle charge setting and you'll be fine. Realistically, install should only take ~25 minutes. Turn off your headlights, climate control and radio to conserve battery if not using a charger.

Okay thanks. I got a bit nervous when people were talking about programming for a new battery and stuff.

I'm no stranger to modding cars, I've just never had a car that is this rediculously integrated!

It's a little intimidating at first. Fortunately, all the integration and technology really does lead to a better performing car when it's working properly.

How long does it take when switching to different maps?

I've installed and uninstalled it twice and never used a battery charger

The owner said that the intial load takes like 30-45 minutes. My battery has 71k on it do I just want to be safe

We will find out this morning! Yay!

So on the v3 there are these maps:
Stg 0
Stg 1 Drive
Stg 1 Sport
Stg 1 Aggressive

I'll start with Stg 1 Drive I guess?

That was easy. Installed in 25 minutes and probably best $800 I've ever spent on a car!
