cp-e™ FullControl™ Flash Removal
 

First and foremost, Custom Performance Engineering, Inc. is VERY sorry that this matter has taken the amount of time that it did. We have been working very closely with Cobb Tuning to provide a universal solution to this issue. After reviving a computer that was thought to be beyond repair and digging through old hex files from years ago, we were able to provide COBB with the information needed to unlock the cp-e™ flashes. We are now VERY happy to announce that with the new firmware update on the AP, both v2 and v3, the AccessPort WILL be able to remove all cp-e™ FullControl™ Flashes and you will be able to tune with the AP. Special thank you to Trey Cobb.
Firmware release versions are:
1.6.7.0-6842 (V2)
1.7.0.0-6853 (V3)

@SIXual Panda;

I have to say, this is fantastic news.
Not only for the people stuck with these old flashes, but also for CP-e stepping up, working with Cobb AND also rightfully apologizing.

Here, here to CP-e.

Good job guys.

Great news for the affected people! It may have been a long road to recovery, but I'd say that end result is the best solution they could have come up with. Just my .02 though...

just tappa it in...

I followed this issue from right about the beginning with no skin in the game. I'm glad to see they got things sorted out.

Might be a dumb thought but, what if the people trying to remove it don't have or plan on buying an ap?

good to hear.

Pretty sure i called the solution weeks ago.

Good job CPe for getting this taken care of.

If you had a Standback, you probably had enough mods such that your car wouldn't run untuned.

Or, you're just SOL.

Sounds like CP-E needs to start renting AP's for free (with a full deposit to cover the cost of the AP until it gets returned to them unmarried) to FullControl (NoControl?) customers such that they can remove their ECU cancer. Free shipping both ways naturally.

Wonder if it is as easy as marrying and unmarrying the AP. If so, rental option yeah, or just meet locals. I got a newer stock map this way a few years ago. Lol

im on my way out to the car to see just how well this has worked. i will also update my OP about this issue.

I know me and CP-E haven't seen eye to eye on this whole issue and have butted heads several times but i would like to publicly accept the apology that CP-E has offered me. and all is well in my book.
now i just need to get one of their intake manifolds!!!

WORKS!!!!! YEAH!!!!

Good news, thanks for the update CP-E.

Now to find a good deal on a Cobb AP v3.

The flashes work, they will not render your ecu unusable. 99.9% of the people that want them removed is because they need to be retuned. 99% of those people will be moving to use the AP.
If the situation arises that someone wants them removed and does not have or does not want to buy an ap we will handle the situation accordingly.

^^^^ see they do have good customer service. its just like an onion sometimes, and u got da cry thru some of the layers

Does this fix also work with Piasini tunes?

I heart cp-e

wow this was def worth the wait to have it integrated with the AP rather then having to send your SB in and your car being down!!!!

great job cpe!!!!

Yes definitely, we took into account the cost of shipping the ecu back to us and the fact that most people were looking to move on to the AP. This was the ebst solution all around, no cost in shipping the ecu and just a quick flash from the ap. win and win! We're just sorry it took so long to get cracked.

Definitely, sucks that I had to ship my ECU last year to my Piasini tuner in Canada to get the lock removed. Oh well. Glad you guys found a much better solution.

One question I have is, when you marry the Cobb AP, does it pull whatever map is on the car at the time, remove the lock, and put it's own map on?
When you go ahead and unmarry the Cobb AP, would that mean that the original Piasini tune get put back on (without the lock)?
Or will it use a know good working map?

Maybe if you don't save the original map when marrying it won't save any lock info?

just tappa it in...

We will look into this and post up when we find out

so does this also remove "The Cold Cut Flash"?

???????

This removes ALL cp-e flashes

when you un-marry the AP you have the option of reloading a "stock style" map onto the car so i imagine that is just some generic everyday map used on the majority of stock vehicles.

^^ Didn't know that option was available.
Good to know.
