Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to share a bit of new info about the AccessPort V3. As stated in the title of this thread Cobb added an "auto shutoff" feature with the latest firmware 1.7.1.1-9728. It adds an option under the setup menu to automatically shut off the accessPort when the engine is powered down as well as to shut down the AccessPort if there is a low voltage dip detected.
To receive the update just take your V3 AccessPort out of your car and plug it into your computer via USB-Micro cable. Launch the AccessPort manager software and select the "Updates" tab, It should take about a minute to install after downloading ( download time depends on your internet connection ) When your update is complete reinstall the AccessPort in your car and go all the way up to the top, one setting down for settings and auto on/off.
It has become part of my process when sitting down to insert my key move to accessory for a moment then start, immediately after starting I power up my AccessPort. This new feature handles to power of the AccessPort for me. When you shut the ignition off the gauges on the AccessPort return to 0 and after about 5 seconds the AccessPort notifies you that the engine is off and powers down.
I think this feature is something that should have been included in the original design but I am glad to see it now.
