I want to buy a used APv1 for my 2005 wrx. I found somone who has one for sale. They claim that it is unmarried, etc. But because the person has no sales history to show reputation I asked that they send me a picture of the screen showing it's unmarried.

He has already sold the car but says when he turns on the AP it reads:

Please choose a new map to flash to ECU
Press OK/Cancel

Does this message show without being hooked up to a car/PC? He claims that he doesn't have camera with him to take a picture of the screen.

Thanks all, I don't want to get scammed.

Easy marry it to your car before you give him the cash.

If the v1 AP that he is selling does in fact read:
Please choose a new map to flash to ECU
Press OK/Cancel

Then it is unmarried....it was also show that if plugged in via wall ac plug.

If it is still married to the car, when the AP is plugged in a list of options will show on the screen.

I know this because I recently sold my v1 and looking for the info on Cobb's forums confirmed that I unmarried the AP properly.

Try to get that screen shot/picture before you buy...and have him put your SN somewhere in the picture as well. That way you sorta know that he's not trying to rip you off.

Nice...thanks guys! He wasn't able to send pics, so I'll keep search for something local. That will keep it simple.
