If I take this classes will it give the the knowledge I need to tune my 2016 WRX? Im tiered of paying people to do a half ass job, and this is something i have wanted to learn. I just don't want to pay for the classes and end up getting software that i don't know how to use. Can someone please tell me if i will actually learn how to tune my car well through taking these classes?

the "class" doesn't teach you **** about tuning. it's only about theory. you won't be able to tune anything. at all.

the sole purpose of the "class" is solely to indemnify cobb tuning from liability. nothing else. period.

[dvazriel]

Just found out about this (((

So if all i want to do delete EGR codes its either $150 buxs to do it myself or get a tune?

I just paid for the class and got accesstuner to realize I still can't do what I wanted to. I have an 04 forester xt at, 18g, cobb intake, cobb catted down pipe, 3" cat back, sti tmic, catless up pipe, stock injectors, walbro 255, stock boost controller. Cobb makes an OTS for an 06 WRX that I could use the maps from but it won't let me open it since I don't have a WRX. Could anyone here help me? I just need screen shots really.

Have you tried asking cobb if they could help you out?

[MikeG4936]

Are you trying to use a WRX map on your FXT?

If so - probably not a good idea, unless you know exactly what to change between those two cars.... Even though the powertrains are similar, the ECUs and the mapping could be vastly different (or just different enough to blow up your car if you aren't an experienced tuner).

I don't really follow your problem. 04 FXT has OTS maps so why would you not use that as your base?

[wrxkid01]

Does anybody have a download link for access tuner race for an 02-03 wrx? im new to this website but i need to delete my deleted TGV codes from my car for smog

[maxxed]

Dearest Cobb, FU#K you

I paid for my AP and access to the software. If you want to up charge for upgrades and new version, fine, disclose it at the time of purchase. If you want to mitigate liability use a waiver.

Eliminating what I paid for is bull****. I will never spend another dollar with Cobb. FU#King scumbags.

[maxxed]

Shocker, Cobb doesn't want relevant real negative reviews.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxo...JLaWhlem8/view

I considered for a moment that the assertions that the training was needed was real. If that is the case why are they charging for it? Clearly they can affort it. The EFI training is basic, much like the hours of video Mc Tits gives in the COBB U videos.

Oh thats right,.. its not a regulatory, ethical or environmental requirement. Its a cash grab and or a form of extortion for money.

By the way Ian, Kyle, whoever @ COBB
If I am wrong and there is 0 financial gain, monetary commitment and or split with EFI University. Prove it, and I will retract all of my opinions.

[yamahaSHO]

Once Cobb was sold, it became a real business... Most of the time, that has a shady aspect.

I'm just waiting for someone to rival the AP with a cell phone, 'cause that's the only thing they really have and it's a chintzy device by today's (not to mention at the time it was released) standards.

And not allowing a negative review is crap. Good thing this isn't the 80's and information is widely shared. If you can sift through the fanboyism, you'll see plenty of legit complaints across the boards.

And yes, the "training" was a joke. I just took the tests.

1. The reviews on the website are powered by a 3rd party plugin (as are most across the internet). We aren't allowed to delete reviews or deny them because it would make the entire review program illegitimate. Therefore if you had a review rejected, it was done by the 3rd party review, not us.

2. How would you like us to "prove" we don't get any monetary split with EFIU? We don't have any invoices because there aren't any transactions. EFIU has to host a website, host videos, hire a developer to make it all work and talk with our systems, etc. All that stuff isn't free. If a waiver was sufficient, we would have done that: way easier.

Love,

Ian

Makes sense, the review system is some ominous authority that Cobb has no control over even though it is on Cobb’s website.

It does not absolve Cobb of anything. 3rd party or not it is your website and you have direct or indirect control. If relevant negative reviews are not bubbling to the surface it is suspect and fraudulent in my opinion.

1. An official statement from UFIU
2. A sworn statement from COBB and a detailed explanation as to the rational
3. Allow the old version to be available for those who can use it

You guys are creative, figure it out.

1. Host a website, they have one already, so do you.
2. Host videos, its called Vimeo, Youtube, take your pick.

I could build tracking functionality on a Saturday morning before lunch, any competent web developer could. Not one syllable of your explanation offers any justification for taking the old version away, the price of $150, or why there Cobb had no other option.

How about you try again.

[maxxed]

F#ck it, guess it doesn't matter now,.. the clip on the bottom just broke and now there is a short in the connection. FML

The Subie gods are pushing me towards ECUTek,.. lol

If you honestly don't understand why that review got rejected then you need to take a real hard look at yourself. That wasn't a review of the AP or ATR, it was a rant about you being unhappy with having to take the course. That has nothing to do with the program or the AP.

This is hilarious. I'm sure Cobb is going to waste their time going through this trouble to appease some jackass who's upset over a $150 course. Cobb has ZERO liability for your vehicle, regardless of is you used their software to tune it. That's not why they're making people take the course, if you don't understand this you need to stop ranting and start reading. Your entitlement is crazy.

We can actually replace that cable for free so long as you purchased it direct through us or have the purchase information from an Authorized Dealer.

Shoot us a PM here, email [email protected], or call us at 1-866-922-3059 and we will get that taken care of.

[BRaskin82]

@CobbTuning Are there any plans to allow us to change the font colors on the AP ? I love to see an option for red gauges / #s etc. Just a suggestion, but I can't be the only one!

Thanks!

How so? I paid for an AP so that I can use ATR. Why should I have to pay again?

I would buy their justifications if you could test out of the class requirement or if the old version of the software was available.

As someone who has already invested a fair amount in a variety of Cobb products I find infuriating and an ethical issue. Reaching back into the pockets of existing customers for something they already paid for is extortion whether it is for a legitimate unforeseen business cost or not.

If wanting to use what I paid for is crazy,.. then I guess I am crazy.

That would be great, but the failed cable clip shorted the AP. (I think) The clip would not release so I removed the two small screws to access the clip bracket. Now when I plug the AP into my computer USB it reboots the computer or won't connect depending on the computer. A new cable will not fix the damage the old cable did to the AP.

I agree and disagree. Of course I understand why, however, not all feedback systems are moderated. In the case of Cobb I always thought it was suspicions that the feedback is nearly perfect.

That being said, the review is about the AP (or at least the limitations of using the AP). Historically, you could use ATR when you bought an AP. That has changed and people interested in purchasing should understand that and they should understand that the reviews on the website are ones they deemed appropriate.

That is my point, the explanations are flimsy and potentially dishonest. I don't care if it is $5 or $500, if I am going to invest in an ecosystem of products I want to know that the manufacture is fair and will support long time customers without strong arming them into unplanned and unwarranted purchases.

If there is a legitimate reason to force the class on existing customers then I expect the manufacture to sell it at cost and or allow customers with the preexisting knowledge to test out of it.

Examples that are not legitimate for existing customers:

• Bolstering the tuner network by eliminating self service tools
• Creating a revenue stream by double dipping existing customers

If they want to do this for new customers and they are transparent then there is no issue with the examples above.

That wasn't the case a month ago when my cable took a dump. I am the original owner, purchased through Circuit Motorsports. I had to pay for a new cable none the less.

I hope you didn't pay $75 or whatever insane price I keep seeing around the web.

Not quite that much but close.

If your failure was the same as described above (broken tabs) you should not have paid. PM us your ticket number or email address and I'll be glad to look into it for you!

Contact us. You might be surprised how willing we are to help if you simply go through normal customer service channels.

We have definitely talked about offering that! I will say that it is not currently in the works but is not out of the realm of possibilities.
