AP is that like a diagnostic tool?

[teh DIRT]

AP = accessport.

The accessport is a diagnostic tool/ reflasher for the WRX/STi/LGT.

Basically it has staged fuel maps for your mods that it reflashes onto your ECU. Stage one is just the AP. Stage two is uppipe and downpipe, and on and on. Cost is around 600 and they are a great tool. They also allow you to turn off your check engine light which is pretty cool. They are made by COBB (www.cobbtuning.com).

i have one (AP), and i'm right there too (somerdale) do i smell an echelon mall, CEL clearing, mini-meet?

[GC8drifter86]

wait so why do u want an AP though? why cant u just use a scan tool? im lost.......

[UnderPoweredRS]

I don't have a scan tool.

i'd be down for the mall meet... i know one of the security guards (friend's dad). we could meet in the vacant jcpenney parking lot since there won't be any shopping going on at that mall anyway :lol:

autotap is a great utility and definitely worth the $100 since it works with every OBD2 car. plus it comes with an OBD2>>USB cable thats probably worth about $45 by itself.

sweet, when do you guys wanna do this?

[UnderPoweredRS]

tonight dudes!
Hit my cell phone up and we can make a time 609 330 0671

Dawggonnit....I didn't know you kids were so close. I live in somerdale.

Hope to chill with you guys sometime soon.

FYI: only check engine light that I didn't already know about was the rear O2 heater. the rest I knew about(not running a boost control sel. and not having my FPC installed yet)

damn - completely missed this thread... couldnt reply last night since i guess the general car forum was getting split up.

You can't just use someone elses AP to read and clear your codes. It has to be married to the CPU first. In other words the AP's owner woudl first have to un-marry the AP from his/her car then marry it to the new car. A bit more that most owners would be willing to do, but I could be wrong.
