OK so I just read through all 9 pages of this thread of many years, and I still have the following questions, just for clarification and would appreciate some sage advice.
So I'm considering buying a V1 Cobb AP from VTGT, but it's for a 2005.5:
*First of all, am I right in saying I have an 05, not 05.5 - VIN 5*316598?
*Secondly, therefore, am I right in saying that it is still possible to "convert" the AP for use on my 05 by downloading something online somehow (and what is the cost)?
*Thirdly, how would I know if it's been unmarried from the current car before I hooked it up to mine?
*Fourthly, I have a MAC, so am I right in saying I would need to find a PC for all of my usage?
*Fifth (and finally), once maps are loaded onto the AP (from a PC presumably), am I right in saying that I'm good to go with hooking it up to the car without needing the PC again (until any other flashing/map updates) - since a PC is not readily available for me and so I need it to be easy once I finish with the PC?
A little long I know, and I think I have read it all here, but wanted some expert help before I dropped some dollar on something I can't use.
Cheers for your patience with a relative noob (certainly when it comes to APs) and for all your feedback.
