Cobb, usage?

[Busser48]

Ok I'm very close to pulling the trigger I the Accessport. I had the sct and sold it. I have 2 or 3 questions for anyone who has one.

1. One of the install videos I saw on CJ pony parts, they say to plug into a battery charger for the car? Is this really necessary?

2. I'm going with Adam at tune + but when I first get the tuner, if I just want to load the off the shelf tune to try it out, will that mess anything up with me going with Adam a couple weeks later?

3. Ok so with the sct when you do tune revisions and data logging there are 2 different computer programs you download to do this. One being live wire for logging and one is SCT. Does it work the same way with Cobb? Do you data log, then load it on the computer, then email to Adam and he does revisions and emails back?


Thank you for any details and last thing, when I talked to Adam he gave me a specific part number for my Accessport to buy. Is this because it's specific for the ford car and do all of these come with the Cobb off the shelf tune automatically?

1. I never had any issues installing my AP when I used mine. As long as you are not doing anything stupid like turning on the lights and playing the radio then you should be fine. Basically don't try and install it if your battery is weak. You will be fine on a brand new car.

2. I don't thinks so but maybe someone that has Adam's tune will have more insight.

3. Just download AP Manager. That's all you need.

Night and day difference between the shelf tune vs Adam's tune.

Yea I figured that, but I mean there's going to be prob like a 3 week period where I have the Accessport before I buy his etune. Is it worth it to use the shelf tune until Adam?

Of course use it. The shelf tune has nothing to do with the new tune Adam sends you.

K, I wasn't sure because I read this stuff about the unit being married or unmarried and I was confused. Just wanted to make sure the shelf tune wasn't making Adams work not possible is all. I didn't know.

1. One of the install videos I saw on CJ pony parts, they say to plug into a battery charger for the car? Is this really necessary? No, but if your battery is acting like it's low, charge it, plug it in, or get a new battery.

2. I'm going with Adam at tune + but when I first get the tuner, if I just want to load the off the shelf tune to try it out, will that mess anything up with me going with Adam a couple weeks later? No, you can run whatever you want. Adam will send you his own base file to work with.

3. Ok so with the sct when you do tune revisions and data logging there are 2 different computer programs you download to do this. One being live wire for logging and one is SCT. Does it work the same way with Cobb? Do you data log, then load it on the computer, then email to Adam and he does revisions and emails back? You only need one program for Cobb. It is less buggy and much easier to use IMO. You data log, plug into the computer, select the log, drag or download to desktop, send in email, rinse, repeat.

Just get the one he told you to get.
