Looking at sending in my ecu to cobb tuning for a stage 1 reflash. Anyone have some experience with this, I am looking for a little feedback with those who have done it.

 

I haven't gotten the stage 1 reflash yet, but everything I have read about it says it is a great upgrade.

 

Waiting for the accessport system.. waiting waiting

 

What is the access port system do?

 

Its going to be a reflash that you can do yourself. Plus you can get upgrades emailed to you and reflash again or back to stock.. Its not out yet and should be weeks and weeks before it is.

 

That's how I'm going to go!

 

IM very interested in teh accessport product as well. I want to be able to re-flash back to stock when my car goes in for service. I have a 04 and I realy dont want to void my warenty. I just hope that the flash does not leave a "last flashed" date in teh ECU or some thing like that......

 

It should not leave any indicators, except maybe some voltage on some sensors, which most mechanics don't check!

 

I talked to the performance rep at Irvine Subaru about their ability to detect a reflash. He told me that if you're using ECUTEK software, a reflash ID will appear on their equipment. It's part of ECUTEK's distribution contract. To put it in perspective, VERY few dealerships have the ability to detect reflashes. Irvine does because of their Prodrive packages.

what if they road test the car.

 

Yeah, the mechanic could see the evidence of a reflash if he drove the car. On the rare occasion I visit a dealership, I tell them spectfically that I don't want the car abused [on the lot], or ever driven off the lot. It's not that I have a feflash to hide, I just flat out don't trust them. Sincerely, Collins
