caramall2 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Want to unmarry my Cobb AP v1 but worried about risk of bricking ECU etc. Should be ok but can't afford that sort of thing right now if it happened. Worth doing just to sell it? Not sure if folks would buy it...it still works great though, just going to v3.

bigleben Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 You'll have to uninstall the v1 anyway before marrying your v3. Might as well use the trade-in offer from cobb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Cobb AP V1 = PONG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Made me laugh about Pong ;-) Actually, you don't have to unmarry...talked to Cobb and they said V3 can write right over it without an issue. Also, there's no trade in for V1 from what I understand, just V2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholaschase29 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I just unmarried my V1 to install a V3. Went through with no problems. Sold the V1 and made some money. I bought the car with the V1 installed. Was run like that for years. I never even plugged in the V1 except to unmarry. Again all went without any issue. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chato Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I just unmarried a V1 not too long ago with only minor hitches due to low system voltage. just make sure you have good strong voltage that can stay at or above about 11.8V for the duration of the write (I used a battery tender) and verify that you have no physical problems with the plug/wire and you should be fine.

Lafta Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Just wondering what the differences are between the v1 and v3, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Just see Cobb's website for all the v3 does...way more features, it's USB, it flashes a "base map in way less time, has customizeable gauge displays, can log without a computer. I LOVE it ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 You can only get v3 now for the most part unless you go used or find a v2 in stock somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONDOLO Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hey all I'm new to the tunning I wanted to know if it's worth getting the v3 or should I just get a used v2. I have a 2006 spec b. I need a tune the check engine light keeps getting flipped because of the catless exhaust. I also have an after market blow off valve, and catless up pipe. The car came with these mods. My only plans are to get an intake and a downpipe for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF_3C2 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The benefits of going to a V3 over a V2 is up to your personal preference- if you just going to flash the ECU and then store the AP away, V2 is fine. If you want to monitor up to six gauge values in real time on a device the size of a cell phone mounted in your car, the V3 the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I was paranoid about flashing with the V1. It took so long I thought something was going to go horribly wrong. Fortunately the dealer solved that by flashing another factory map to it rendering my V1 useless COBB was useless as they no longer have any way to unlock my V1 so I can use it again.
