Cobb tuning europe anyone?

I got the AccessPort for my 8 which is a 2004 MT Hi EU model.
Currently Iam using MM´s services to get my car tuned, in the long term i want to learn to do some myself.
But since I have EU model i cannot use the "official" AccesstunerRace or load the US maps, but I managed to get a copy of AccesstunerRace from Cobb which works with my AP (EDM/World market) but this version cannot load US maps.
So currently I only got the "stock style" map which I can load and edit with the software, which is at least a beginning.

Okay my question is is there a way to convert US maps or a archive somewhere which is compatible with EU version?
I just want the ability to load some tuned maps and compare them with stock, I´m not going to flash random tuned maps to my ECU.
I know I need a lot of knowledge before i do any custom tune myself.

Good luck it's been around for 5-6 years and I haven't heard of anything. If you look into Mazdaedit you should be able to do some tuning, but you'll loose your MM maps.

I'm sorry I thought Access tuner race would only work in the US market. I miss read your previous post.

The Stock style map on US version is the same as the stock maps.

Mazdaedit will not allow you to open MM maps. I had a typo there. But it will give you the stock map and allow you to tune it.

Allright thats what i thought.
My AP came with a built in EU stock style base map which is compatible with my EU accesstuner race version,
So I will use that as my starting point.
But if anyone would like to share a NA EU unlocked tuned map that would be awesome.

Confused as to how you managed this . I understood they didn't have an ATR version for anything outside of the US ?

Good news for everyone with EU model Rx8, Cobb will include EU models in the software through the AccessTunerRace request form on their website within short time (approx 2weeks).
