    Uninstalled my accessport today to get ready to sell. Everything went exactly as it was supposed to, then I went to turn the car on and it wont start. I know sometimes it takes a bit, but that's not the case here. Tried disconnecting the battery, no help.

    Tried to re-install accessport, and it wont install, says verify that car is in the on mode. I will be calling Cobb in the am, but figured i'd see if anyone knows if my ecu is bricked or i'm missing something.

    haha yea, after hours of research and finding others that had the same exact problem, it appears my ecu is bricked.

    Cobb has great customer service. Just shipped it out for them to fix, no charge. I'm impressed.

    Cobb took care of me when my Accessport would no longer talk to the ECU. They were fast and I thought the pricing was reasonable.

    To be honest, I have no idea, neither did Cobb.

    The un-install was done properly. And completed, I guess something went wrong, though.
