It cost me more than an entire 2003 VW Jetta. Finally, professional tuners can use the Accessport to give your car a custom tune, optimized for your particular car and combination of modifications.Īt $650 it’s far from cheap. You can customize features like a shift light, launch control, and flat-foot shifting, run performance tests, diagnose and clear OBD2 trouble codes, and configure up to six different gauges to monitor engine parameters in real time, as well as log them. For example, a Stage 1 tune works with an otherwise stock car, while a Stage 2 tune for my WRX requires an aftermarket J-pipe, a popular and effective power adding mod. It comes pre-loaded with a number of off-the-shelf tunes for various conditions or stages of tune. The COBB Accessport is a small smartphone sized device that plugs into the OBD2 port of your WRX (or Forester XT, or various Fords, Volkswagens, Porsches, BMWs, Mazdas, Mitsubishis, and the Nissan GT-R). OK, I should at least give a little bit of background information in case you’ve been living under a rock. So I’m going to gloss over the usual babble about what it is, what it does, and how it works, and focus on a slightly different subject – how useful is the Accessport for daily driving, as opposed to racing or squeezing as much power as possible out of the FA20 engine? The Usual Babble Even Right Foot Down reviewed it once before when Josh got one for his briefly owned WRX. Everybody and their mother has already reviewed it. If you have a Subaru WRX, chances are you also have a COBB Accessport.
