On the Spec page it says it supports both baud rates of ISO CAN 15765-4. With reference to my above comment, Chris from Cobb mentioned that the AP v2 (not v2b) uses the CAN protocol (ISO 15765-4). So your dongle has something inside that a typical cable wouldn't. From reading through some of the COBB threads on the Subie sites, it sounds like the AP iterations before the V2B didn't have all of the necessary components in the AP itself. I don't imagine the V2's is anything special either. My V3's cable is just a regular OBD2 cable. Is that dongle only responisble for powering on the AP and transferring data to/from ECU? Meaning, it's not proprietary to Cobb? The Dongle is USB Mini, so from your picture, I guess I could get away with one that's already attached to it's dongle and get away with a USB A to plug into the AP. I actually did take it apart and solder a new USB port on there, but it would appear that when it broke it ripped off a layer of the board with itīut you know, I never tried another OBDII dongle to USB. I could spend $150 on a V2b for the trade it, or I could dish out money for a whole nother Ap. This includes car stereos, video screens, GPS units, radar detectors, interior and exterior vehicle lights, and any other electronic device that uses the car battery for power.Marrying the AP to your car prevents the AP from being used with another vehicle, it doesn't prevent you from marrying ANOTHER AP to your car.ĮDIT: Or are you saying that COBB won't accept your old AP as a trade-in because it's still married to a vehicle?Ĭorrect to your edit: Cobb will not accept the AP trade in since it is still married to my vehicle. Furthermore, please ensure that all in-car electronic devices are turned off to reduce power draw on the battery. This can be done through the use of a battery charger/conditioner or by driving the vehicle for a period of time prior to installation to allow the alternator to recharge the battery. Since the AccessPORT uses the vehicle’s battery for power and the ECU reprogramming process requires adequate battery power as well, it is critical to verify that the vehicle’s battery has a good charge.

Therefore, the recommended procedure is to connect the AccessPORT to the AP Manager software and download the latest software and map files for the target vehicle.ġ.
