Any shops still pro tune with the v1 Accessport in the area?

Looking to get a protune at some point, but i have a v1 accessport. Are there any shops in the tri state that still have will tune and load the maps on the v1?

I dont believe you can get a protune with the ap v1. At least thats what a few shops told me anyhow.

That's gonna be next to impossible unfortunately.

My suggestion would be to sell that brick and put the money toward a used Tactrix 1.3 or 2.0 (on nasioc or here). Then look for a decent tuner to give you a nice custom Stg 1 map.

I am at stage 2 now. I like the idea of being able to switch to stock if i sell it. Hmmm

there ya go. now get to it, son.

So by using a tactrix i am then going open source correct? What tuners are in the area that do this? Most around me use Cobb to tune. Also will i get a copy of stock maps that i can load later on?

Yeah I am stuck with the V1 AccessPort too. Didn't realize I couldn't get an etune with it.

If you can find the old streettuner software, it's fun to learn to tune your own car. I actually prefer the Streettuner with v1 because I can still tune with OS. Otherwise, best bet is to unmarry your AP when you get to the tuner shop and let them go to work on OS. I'd recommend getting your own tactrix or vag-com cable to datalog.

Btw, if you have a 5eat v1 accessport, I know someone who wants one if you're looking to dump it.

Can't you trade it into Cobb and they will give you money towards the v2?

yes, like a $200 credit^

I was talking with the a/the tuner over at Precision Tuning in Lakewood, NJ on Saturday and asked about V1 tuning.. he said they can do it, but depends on how much they have to touch in the tune. Can handle stage 2ish tunes but not much more.

^I don't understand that. I tune my somewhat aggressive Stage 3 setup using AP V1 Street Tuner Advanced software without a problem. From what I remember, that has all the same parameters that were available to the Cobb protuners at the time. I actually use Open Source as well to change base maps since it takes a long time to load base maps through the AP.

It wasnt an indepth conversation. I asked him about it only because I read this thread and happened to be over there picking up a part. I specifically said something about getting a VF52 and he said that wouldn't be a problem with the V1, so that's stage 3 right?

yes...sort of
