Lf accessport

Cannot seem to find any V2 Accessports for my RX-8 anywhere. Mazdamaniac isn't selling anymore now, and I know about mazdaedit, goodbox, etc, but I was going to pay MM to tune it, while also having the easy diagnostics. So anyways, I can't post in the buy/sell section so this was my only option, pm me if you have a wiped one for sale, thanks!

Don't do it, it's not worth it unless it's for a very very good price.
Like free (no really)

Furthermore (and this is important) you must have the married Access Turner Race program for that unit if you wish to do any tuning.
Otherwise you need to pay Cobb some fee (100usd?) and take some online course.
I think a couple members here might have done it I'm not sure.

Anyways ... buyer beware!
These aren't the droids you're looking for...

Haha I appreciate the Star Wars reference and the advice lol. I know it's costly, but I'm sure there's still some laying around with people somewhere, and I like the diagnostics display. All the information, and I'm not fond of goodbox's placement honestly

Ok I can appreciate that, I enjoy mine for that very same reason.
That said I was able to get a copy of tuning software (ATR - Access Tuner Race) before they stopped (temporarily) the free personal edition for the RX8.
Like I said it's now behind some training paywall.
As long as you're aware you need that software to do any ECU flashing (like changing Fan temps or OMP settings) then hey good luck with your hunt.

Tho if you just want to read data ...
I like the Torque app running on my tablet (Samsung S2) using the Bluetooth Plx Kiwi device plugged in to the OBD port.
I'm actually considering getting the latest Kiwi3

Kiwi - OBD OBDII Interface, Gauges, Scan tool, Diagnostics

Just a thought
