    0-60mph and 1/4 mile update for new AccessPORT
    Please Note: If you are currently running v1.0.0.2 firmware or older, then you must uninstall the AP from the vehicle FIRST, then do the update, then re-install. If you are running v1.0.0.3 or newer, you can do the update without uninstalling the AP from the vehicle.

    1) Download the AP Manager v1.0.4 installer: AP Manager Update v1.0.4

    2) Download the appropriate AccessPORT firmware update installer:

    a) Update for the 02-05 Subaru with the 2.0L motor configuration click HERE!

    b) Update for the 04+ Subaru with the 2.5L motor configuration click HERE!

    3) Run the AP Manager v1.0.4 installer ("installAP.exe"). Follow all on-screen instructions.

    4) Run the firmware update installer ("APupdate20L.exe" or "APupdate25L.exe"). Follow all on-screen instructions

    5) Connect the AccessPORT to the PC using the supplied USB cable.

    6) Once the AccessPORT is at the main menu, go to the "Sync to PC" option

    7) If the AccessPORT has never been connected to this PC before, Windows will indicate that it has detected new hardware and display the Found New Hardware Wizard.

    a) If prompted to connect to Windows Update, Say NO

    b) When asked how to install the driver, select to install the software automatically.

    c) if Windows detects multiple drivers, select the one with "COBB Tuning Inc" as the manufacturer.

    8) Launch the AP Manager software, AP Manager will initially read all the maps from the AccessPORT. This process will cause a delay on the AccessPORT running firmware older than v1.0.0.2. THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR.

    9) In AP Manager, Click on the "Help" menu option and select "Install latest firmware tot he AccessPORT".

    10) Follow the on screen wizard to perform the firmware update.

    11) During the firmware update process, the AccessPORT will restart. THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR.

    12) After the AccessPORT restarts, Windows may indicate that is has detected new hardware and display the Found New Hardware Wizard.

    a) If prompted to connect to Windows Update, Say NO

    b) When asked how to install the driver, select to install the software automatically.

    c) if Windows detects multiple drivers, select the one with "COBB Tuning Inc" as the manufacturer.

    13) After the updatecompletes, click the Eject button in the AP Manager to make the AccessPORT go back to the main menu.

    14) Go to the About screen on the AccessPORT. Verify that the firmware version is v1.0.1.0

    15) Update complete!


    Here are the items changed from v1.0.0.5

    * Added additional screen when no DTCs are found.
    * Added 0-60mph and 1/4mi performance tests.
    * Fixed screen refresh issues related to the Map List, DTC list, and
    flash completion status.
    * Increased animation responsiveness.
    * Improved COBB USB to OBD Cable detection.

    The AP2.0 is just plain slow. Takes forever to boot. The 0-60 and 1/4 mile thing is pretty cool for the couple runs I got in though.

    the installation/uninstallation and map switching are still a lot faster than the first version, but this update took like a half hour to load on my AP. at least i wont have to do that again for a while.

    yeah got mine updated and had fun this weekend until my tire bit the dust
    i like the performance tests, and maybe i missed an update but they also have a coolant temp gauge under live data that will report digitally - kinda nice
