First off thanks to Josh at Cobb in TX for answering my questions, and supporting me thoroughly, instead of the blanket "We don't support X5's," blanket statement I received from their Facebook page and via their sales email alias. So frustrating... Josh assured me based on my VIN, that the DME for my X5 and N55 engine would work with their existing tunes.
I also want to thank Cobb Surgeline in Portland Ore, for talking me out of a ProTune. Not bad for a business to turn down money, easing my fears that the off the shelf tune is plenty sufficient.
I also want to thank Import Image Racing (Florida) for such a great deal on the AccessPort, that was substantially lower in cost than MSRP (and other listed prices on the web)
That said, what's an AccessPort? It's a handheld tuner, OBD scanner, Digital gauge and logging system. It started in the Subaru world, then branched off to cover many other platforms like Mitsubishi, Ford, Mazda, BMW, and a few others.
They have a number pre-made maps/tunes that you download through their
"Accessport Manager," software.
Here it is as I received it. Which BTW, their retail packaging is excellent.
The box it came in:
The box opened (Rectangular box on left side holds a nice long OBD cable with a 90 deg plug, so it's out of the way when plugged in):
In the nice neoprene case is your AccessPort, a spare colored bezel, a USB cable, and a dash clip:
Powering on via my PC (Video) Click image to play video:
All in all, a very nicely packaged system, and so far super simple to operate.
Next post will be plugging into the car, and uploading a tune....
