accessport question

hey guys,

so i know i do not post very often, and its because my life is super super super busy right now, 2 weddings, work, and trying to buckle down my hotrod before the weddings...4 months to go. but lets get back on topic, so i have been without a cobb accessport since i have bought the car and have been hoarding off parts that i would need a tune for example my DP. My question to you guys is what version would be good for me? im not trying to spend a grip on a new one given my expenses listed before.
A little info on the car.
05 WRX wagon automatic (I drive 120+ miles a day)
currently has a cobb cat back, STI TMIC, catless up pipe
looking to instal my catted DP, AEM intake

Thanks guys
PS if you have one for sale at a good price please let me know, usually im not so cheap about this stuff but the hotrod has a couple more grand going into it and weddings arent cheap either haha.

Just find a used V2 accessport. I see them going for $300-350 shipped all the time on suby forums.

for me, i think the v3 is worth the extra cost. having all the extra gauges with the bigger screen means i have to buy fewer external gauges.

ive also heard from a tuner that the v2's latest firmware has issues as well.

V3 for sure. I've found it to be totally worth the $ and it's just so easy to use and so fast. The gauges come in handy but above all else: 14hz logging!

Mine used to say 5hz, but latest firmware update from cobb has mine at 14hz for the default logging parameters. Maybe it's ECU dependent on how fast it can log?

Faster logging is always better, esp if you wanted to graph some of the data.

Welcome back! We definitely need to have lunch if you are still in the bay area.
