We'd love to add AT support and 2006-2007 support as well but without the cars, we can't do it. We really need the cars, not just PCM/ECUs. We've done all the testing on the bench we can do, now we just need to take what we consider a very close to final product and put it in production vehicles and make sure that when used exactly how an end-user will use it, it works as expected. This is final stage type of testing, but we need to do at least this phase in house before we start shipping beta units around the country.

Once we get that done and we all comfortable with how the AccessPORT is working, then the next phase is ramping up the custom tuning side of things which will of course be focused on the FI cars and one-off setups. That's when we'll need to get various FI setups here and begin developing the TUNER software to support them (if it can't already). We won't be focused necessarily on developing mapping to distribute but rather the software so other vendors can developing their own mapping and/or offer custom tuning at their own facility.

So yes, I'm excited to get some S/C or turbo RX-8s in here for tuning but right at this moment, for our first step, we need stock-ish cars to test what we're going to sell as a plug-in-play, ready to use device. THEN we'll start working on wrapping up the custom stuff, end-user tuning software, etc.

Again, ANY 2004-2008 RX-8s, ANY transmission type with no more than basic bolt ons and can bring their car to our facility in SLC, UT please let me know.

Cheers,
Trey @ COBB

Of all the complainers out there with an at, here is your chance to get the flash. They want stock ats (bolt-ons OK) or I would be there already. I know of several whom I have heard from in SoCal.

COBB needs NA RX-8 ATs for AccessPort testing!

Any AT owners that can answer the call, would be helpful.
