AccessPORT valet mode - MM version.
Rev limit set to 2500 RPM and throttle position limited to 10%. Fuel maps OFF above 2nd gear. ECT leans fuel once the motor is up to temp until it stalls.
Car ain't going nowhere.

damn son. thats serious.

isn't it bad for the paint to put a car cover on outside if its windy and there is a chance of snow/ice blowing up between the cover and the car. be like sand paper to the paint?

:spank:

hahaha....
nice

Thank you mm. Ill will switch the maps this tuesday. Case close ppl.

DIY guide plz. :)

COBB AccessPort with the valet map FTW. You can even tweak the map further to limit rev to 2k...

heh... i see Jeff beat me to it lol

2k is 8mph or something like that. thats a bit ridiculous.

i'd tweak it to 3k/14mph.

Heh, that's seriously awesome.

MM, any toying around with a way of linking that mode to the remote lock? I know the immobilizer keeps most thieves away, but that plus an auto-valet mode whenever you lock your 8 should prevent your 8 from getting very far if a professional targeted it.

Edit:
Hrm, not sure this would work if you take your AP with you. But honestly it is the best reason I have heard of for getting an AP so far. Warming my car up in the morning always has me nervous and watching it like a hawk.

2nd Edit:
Was just informed of a 2-2.5 min reflash time, which works great for me, but probably not for this linking, and come to think of it, I don't know that I would ever have the valet wait 2-2.5 minutes for a reflash before handing him the keys. Actually, I wouldn't hand anyone the keys but another 8 owner. Still great for safety on winter morning warmups. AP now the top of my too-distance list.

#1) You do not need to start it once a week. It does nothing except waste fuel. Fill up the gas tank, add fuel stabilizer, take out the battery (store it indoors), and throw on a car cover. That's it.
#2) DO NOT PARK IT OUTSIDE! Salt from the street evaporates into the air and exposing your car to that is no different from driving it all winter. It will expedite rust.
#3) Don't park it with someone you don't trust.

That's just awesome.

The valet map is cool, any chance of flooding if the dude shuts it off quick

The flooding issue is pretty much a non-issue these days with the new Mazda start-up maps.
Only in the coldest location would it possibly be an issue.

Not a very good "friend".

but
 

its -10 here.
