Do you want to be in control of your vehicle's performance? If so, this new AccessPORT for your 135/335/535 will allow you to unleash the power inside your vehicle.
This system allows you to unlock power hidden within the ECU by replacing conservative factory settings with more aggressive calibrations. Once upgraded, you will notice impressive gains in torque and horsepower. The AccessPORT can store up to 100 different tunes, allowing you to save preferred tunes for various conditions and drivers. Cobb Tuning offers regular firmware updates as well as many new and updated maps for various vehicles.
We experienced gains of 52 HP and 72 TQ increase over stock on our Mustang Dyno - Talk about bang for your buck!

FAQ
Q: Will my AccessPORT work on multiple vehicles?
A: Yes and No. When you first initialize the AccessPORT for use on your vehicle, it will marry itself to that ECU. From that point on, it will only work on that vehicle's ECU. If you wish to use it on another compatible vehicle, you much first uninstall the AccessPORT from the original vehicle. When you purchase the AccessPORT, you are purchasing one (1) AccessECU reflash license. Thus, that license can only be used on one vehicle at a time.
Q: Can a dealer detect that I have an AccessPORT installed?
A: Yes, this is possible unless you use the [Revert to Stock] menu option to load a purely stock program on the ECU. While the vehicle can be serviced by the dealership in the same way as a stock vehicle, and all the Dealer scan tools function 100% the same, the data on the ECU has a marker known as a "checksum". Whenever any data on the ECU is changed, this checksum value must be changed in order for the ECU to operate. If a dealership compares this checksum value against another stock car, the values will be different. If you use the [Revert to Stock] menu option to uninstall the AccessPORT from your vehicle, the checksum on the ECU is now a valid stock checksum. No markers are left by the AccessPORT when using the [Revert to Stock] menu option.
Q: I live outside of North America but our vehicles are basically the same thing sold in North America. Will the AccessPORT work?
A: No, the ECU software is different for regions around the world. In North America, we use ECU software specific only to North America. Our ECU software is NOT compatible with vehicles sold elsewhere in the world. Installing an AccessPORT on a non-North American vehicle will very likely damage the ECU and render it inoperable. COBB makes NO guarantees on the use of the AccessPORT outside of North America at this time.
Q: I have an aftermarket up-pipe, and/or intercooler hoses, and/or a panel filter, and/or a BOV, and/or pulleys, etc. but I don't see a map with those mods. What can I do?
A:Those types of modifications are within the AccessECU's ability to adapt. Most of them (with the exception of the BOV) make a slight improvement in efficiency, but do not change the characteristics of the car enough to require reprogramming to work properly. If you add these types of parts later it might take the car a driving cycle or two to get the boost right on, but it will likely adapt unless the part makes a significant change such as a turbo-back. As stated above, if you have a question about your parts, let us know and we will help you choose the map that is right for you. That is much better than getting a wrong map, or thinking we do not have a map for your combo.
Q: All of this information references Cobb Stage 1. When will Cobb Stage 2 be available?
A: Cobb Tuning does not have an eta for Stage 2, but it is in development. Additionally, Cobb is regularly updating firmware as well as creating tunes to support additional vehicles.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
