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).

It's too late now, we've all jumped on the MazdaEdit bandwagon
