I just got one in the mail used from a NASIOC member but I'm a bit skeptical. How can I check if this Cobb AP is UnMarried?

yeah, no other way since it cant get power without plugging it into your car, or your computer via usb cord.

If I remember correctly you can't update the AP with new maps on your computer unless it's married to your car. Inatall the AP manager and plug the AP into your computer and see what happens.

that sounds like the best and easiest idea so far - thanks

I've heard so many people say that once you marry it to a car, you cannot use it on another vehicle. But when I read through the instruction manual last night, it gives instructions on how to reset the AP and UnMarry it from the original car.

I'm hoping this will be the case and that the previous owner unmarried it.... apparently, he had a professional shop/tuner do this for him.
