What does your AP look like? I have a buddy with a phone mount that uses a magnet on the back side of the phone that mates to the mount that suctions to the windshield. That might work well for your AP.

Hey! Macspeed
How is the tune working for you?
I just bought one as well with all three stages..Yet to install I need a walnut blast desperately and of course and I need to change my valve cover leaking oil....
I also have the Alta recirc valve and boost tap...
What is your opinion on the Accessport and how does it feel
any concerns or tweaks that I should be aware of?

Get colder plugs, the ones in my signature are the ones Manic recommends. I had a knocking issue and going with the colder plugs got rid of the issue . If you haven't already update the accessport as well, with accessport manager, its on cobbs website. I just had my valves cleaned after 67k (at 68k) and made a big difference. Use the best fuel you have near you as well.

I use NGK ILZKBR7B8DG Plug your saying the NGK 1422 ILKR8E6 is colder? Hmm
Ok you use them so guess I'm going to try them...The accessport was sent to Cobb to be updated. How do I know for sure it has the updates?
I thought a CD disk was to come with the port?

The plugs I have are 2 steps colder than the stock MCS plugs. You can use any mini usb, plug it into the computer and use the accessport manager to see your logs, maps and any updates for it.
This is what it shows
You can find it here http://www.cobbtuning.com/products/s...ssport-manager

So when it's unmarried you can see the original 3 stages and then the unmarried stages 1,2,3..
I just downloaded stage 3...have yet to drive it...I will go for a run at lunchtime..
Larger FMIC, 2.25 DP,De-catted,no Res,Alta Recirc valve Alta Boost Tap and CAI..09' MCS Turbo Auto Trans(paddleshift)
