Bitter...
i bought a cobb ap off a dude on CL and it turns out its not working...
i know its my fault i should have been more careful but gosh dang. this sucks. there goes 300 bucks...
i tried calling cobb and all they can offer me is 200 dollars i think off if i send it in for a v2 ap. too bad i dont have 500 dollars to spend...
or they said i could send it in and pay 40 bucks for examination. and to repair, it will cost up to 300 dollars. a;klsjd;fakjd;falksjd;lk a

You don't have any of this guys contact info?
I got sold a married AP on i-club. He wouldn't answer my phone calls for a good 2 weeks. Luckily I knew some people who knew him. He didn't even meet me up to give me back my money. He had his friend do it because he was "out of town" hahaha
good luck bro!

might not be the guys fault, more than once has some one simply reverted the map back to stock and thought thats all they had to do and not known they had to do the un-marry process. try him first to see if you can meet up with him for a minute to unmarry

its actually quite complicated.
here's the full story: The ap was advertised as 04-05 wrx, but the ap is actually for an 02-03. What he did was, he had the ap reprogrammed so he could use it on his 04 wrx. So i receive it and tell him its not working. he says he'll reflash the ap for an 05. so i send him the ap back. at this point he has my money And the accessport. risky of me, but he seemed really reliable and was very helpful. he sent the ap back to me couple days later and since then ive been trying to get the thing to work.
i couldn't quite figure it out on my own so when i went to GST, i asked mike to work on it but he couldnt figure it out. while i was there, i met gary, an employee of cobb and he was trying to figure it out with Mr. Trey Cobb on the phone. but they couldnt get it either so i came home disappointed. So today i called Cobb again and their friendly service people tried helping me through it and told me they had never heard of a situation like this. blahbalhalbalb the serivce guy, sean i think.., told me to plug it into my computer which i did and it shows up as an 05 wrx accessport so the seller did reflash it for me. cobb told me the only choice i had was to turn it back in to them but i dont have that kind of money rite now..
