Definitely recommend uninstalling the AP before going in for module software updates. Uninstall should only take around 5-6 minutes. Install should take a similar amount of time - if you select 'Backup ECU' at install, it will take longer. The backup process is something that I always skip...
It's all driver preference - once the Accessport is installed, map changes generally take only 1-2 minutes. So switch between the maps available and see what works best for you!
Working on it now! We should have support ready within a couple of weeks but will have to hold it while we wait for an update to our CARB EO coverage.

Sorry, confusing phrasing. The latter is correct - we are changing target torque, boost, fueling, and ignition timing compared to stock. Those changes are in-use in all drive modes. But throttle response and shift schedules in most drive modes are unchanged. Our COBB Sport and COBB OEM+...
Congrats on the Accessport!
1. No special changes were made for the tow package equipped vehicles in our OTS maps. Transmission shift schedule tables (which dictate the conditions when upshifts and downshifts are commanded) all work based on output shaft speed of the transmission, prior to...
Any COBB-certified Protuner can create a custom tune designed for whatever fuel you want to use - E10, E30, E50, etc. using our custom tuning software. You're not just limited to our OTS maps.

Heat soak is a relevant concern on any engine platform. The Maverick benefits from cooling modifications, but isn't useless without them. For reference, during OTS development in the middle of the Texas summer, we were able to drop half a second and pick up 3-4MPH in the 1/4 mile, with 100+*F...
Tuning is not without risks. But with proper maintenance and the use of quality fuels, performance gain and reliability are not mutually exclusive.
The factory calibration needs to keep the engine safe in adverse conditions and neglect from your "average" owner. By educating our customers...
Generally speaking, yes running 91 OCT will be sufficient for the stock calibration to hit KOM of +1 indicating maximum timing advance and maximum boost requests from the octane learning system. Warmer climates, harder driving, towing, running ethanol-free fuel, and/or getting 91 OCT in...
This is a great demonstration of Ford's octane learning strategy and the impact it can have on vehicle performance.
The ECU is constantly listening to the feedback from the knock sensors on the engine. Knock, or detonation, is the spontaneous combustion of air and fuel after the spark plug has...
For the moment, no option is available to fully disable traction/stability control. We've tried a few things during development, but no dice yet. There is likely at least some element of control happening in the ABS module which we do not flash.
The OTS maps that are included with the Accessport include 'Stage1 87 OCT or 91 RON - COBB OEM+ TCM' and 'Stage1 87 OCT or 91 RON - COBB Sport TCM'. Both of these maps are designed to run 87 OCT fuel, but have the added benefit of our different transmission tuning. If you ever want to fill up...
Glad you're enjoying the tune! It looks like this Accessport was misconfigured by our production team, as you shouldn't see the separate "Flash TCM" option. Shoot us a DM with a good contact email and we'll get that fixed for you. That said, there is no risk to the vehicle for driving it...
The HPFP doesn't seem to be the limitation - it'll hold 3600psi without issue running as much boost as the stock turbo can happily make with E50. At that point, the limitation is injection window/injector sizing. HPFP drive lobes are not a part of the pump, but are a feature of the camshaft...
It depends on the vehicle and model year. Sometimes we get lucky and a new model year will be an identical copy of the year prior, other times we see massive changes. The changes we've found on '23 Maverick and Tremor are pretty standard - new strategies/ROMs which means that table and monitor...
