MAP & FIRMWARE Management
What Is A Map?
The AccessPORT reprograms the tuning parameters inside the factory engine control unit
(ECU)using map files, which contain specially written instructions for the AccessPORT to follow
during the reprogramming process. A given map file contains programming information
to properly calibrate the ECU for a specific set of modifications to a vehicle. In addition to
calibrating for specific modifications, maps are also programmed for different uses, such as
improved performance, higher fuel efficiency, alternate fuel grades, anti-abuse (valet) and anti
theft. Through the use of the AccessPORT and different map files, the ECU can be reprogrammed
to accommodate the user’s immediate need.
Downloading and Installing the AccessPORT Manager Software:
The AccessPORT Manager Software can be found at http://www.cobbtuning.com/support.
Please follow all on-screen instructions during the installation process.
Acquiring And Loading New AccessPORT Maps:
The AccessPORT ships with a number of pre-installed maps that are up-to-date at the time of
shipping. However, it is possible that newer revisions of maps have been made available, or that
the AccessPORT did not come pre-installed with a map that is appropriate for the target vehicle.
To load a new or updated map to the AccessPORT, simply download and save the map file to
an easy-to-remember location (My Documents, Desktop, etc.). After the map file is completely
downloaded, double-click the map file to automatically run the AP Manager software and
import it to the map library. With the map file in the AP Manager library, simply right-click
on the map and select “Send to AccessPORT.” Continue this process for all desired maps.
NOTE:
The AccessPORT must to be installed on the vehicle before it can be connected to the
AP Manager software.
How do I update the software on my AccessPORT?
Designed with user friendliness in mind, AccessPORT Manager will automatically
communicate with COBB’s servers to find and download the latest AccessPORT application
and firmware packages. Simply plug in the AccessPORT, using the provided USB cable, and
launch AccessPORT Manager. All firmware details are handled for you. Just sit back and wait
for completion.
