what can I do now? doors were closed but afterwards I realized that

load a dump to the AP?

emailed to Cobb but still wanted to ask here, if anyone knows about this...
or what to try.

Did you try updating the AP firmware first? all doors should be closed. just retry

Did you retry with the trunk shut? If I remember right, Cobb did say that if you couldn't access the ROM dump function then to contact them. There will be a reason for it and nothing major I doubt, I've had a few hiccups myself and they've been really helpful, even half way across the world

BMW is 60km from me...and i realized too late when returnng home... that trunk was open when i tried the installation arghh.yes, i believe its not a big deal to make the dump work.will have to try again soon with trunk closed.

These are two pulls, directly after each other.
The first went well. The second try put the car in limpmode at 7k.
Errorcode P30FF. Boostleak. again..
The loggs shows boost, timing, rpm, afr.
It´s clear the boost drops when the car went limp..
If it´s a boostleak, why doesn´t it show in the first logg?
Or any logg after for that matter..
Only when driving stg1+ aggressive, not when driving 1+ sport..
I have checked for leaks with no success, will try smoke in next step.

We have seen boost leaks caused by faulty divertor valves or a bad wastegate control solenoid. What version map are you using?

I'm updating my Cobb AP on OS X and everything seemed to be working just fine, its an AP-BMW-001 v1.6.5.0-2639.

What I did specifically was, plug in AP to laptop, open up AccessPORT Manager (2.0.1.5), click "Begin Firmware Update" and my AP has rebooted once or twice already.

But now its stuck on a "Checking AccessPORT updater software..." screen for the past 30 minutes. Is it supposed to take this long? Or is something wrong.

update the AccessPort Manager software itself first to the latest BETA release. So when you open AccessPort Manager go to the Options tab and check off the checkbox for "Check for beta AccessPORT Manager". Once you've done that you'll be asked to upgrade to 2.0.2.0 AccessPort Manager

I still have the "Checking AccessPORT updater software..." pop-up open, will it hurt or possibly even brick my AccessPORT? Or can I press "Cancel" and perform the update as you said above?

Thanks for the help!

EDIT::

I went ahead and canceled it, updated the AccessPORT Manager to the 2.0.2.0 and now its doing its thing. Hopefully I wont encounter any more problems. Thanks!

Have a search for a thread I created named "COBB AP Stuck Updating". I had the same issue as you which lead to another problem where the AP was unable to communicate with my ECU. I've been working through it with COBB who have been fantastic, it just highlights that YOU MUST run the lastest beta AP Mangager if you want to use the lastest beta AP firmware.

Yikes. My cars actually about to go into the dealer for some maintenance and I might not have it back for a few days. Thats why I uninstalled the AP & decided to upgrade firmware / try out the latest v400 Beta maps. (Install/Uninstall takes forever!)

I hope I wont have any issues flashing once I get her back. Thats what scares me the most every time I change maps or install/uninstall. Something going wrong and in turn messing up something in the cars ECU causing me a huge headache.

So far so good though! Cobb AccessPORT is great!

Yes but you don't need either beta AP or beta firmware to run v400 maps. Or am I missing something by not updating to beta? v400 IJEOS maps run fine on my car with just the latest (non-beta) AP/firmware versions.

Ditto... I just downloaded 1 v400 map without updating anything... works fine for me.

Cozy · 03-15-2012, 09:31 AM

You can download v400 no problem, it's via the website and not the AP, you just transfer from PC folder to AP. I had a problem becuase I tried to download the latest beta AP firmware from the AP Manager without having the latest beta release of AP Manager, the unpdate process screwed up and messed with the AP. I had to download the beta AP Manager then wait for another beta release of AP firmware to clear it of its bugs, now it's fine.

what did your AP do when it was screwed up? i think i have the same thing going on

When i try to update the firmware it always errors and says "An error occured while updating accessport. View log?"
also, whenever i try to transfer a map to or from the AP it says "Failed to send"

and, for icing on the cake, i can no longer view live data or datalog

I'm emailing Cobb as we speak.

I've heard of others with the same issue (can't view live or datalog) seems firmware got botched somewhere. Cobb will get it sorted out.
