Default Need Help ASAP!!

Just got my Cobb and am installing it right now. It says it should take 30 seconds or so to program, but it's been going on for almost 5 minutes!!! It says not to touch anything while it's downloading or it may render the car inoperable!!! What do I do!!!

Just got off the phone with Cobb.....guess it takes 10-20minutes for downloading....but I guess most of you already new that! Still a little concerned though, it's been going 10 minutes and the bars haven't progressed any further.

Dude dont worry it will be fine, the accessport v1 & v2 take a while and your battery will be fine. Go grab a beer or somthing and just peridocly check on it, it takes 15-25 min or so especially if its the first install.

Yeah just make sure all the accesories, interior light, etc are off. And if the reflash fails, leave the key ON and try again (with a charger on the battery, jumper cables, etc).

Ha! I know that feeling man!!! The same thing happened to me and I started thinking about what I was going to do if it didn't work. Glad it worked out okay!

Well it was weird....it said it was communicating with the ecu for almost 15 minutes and then I noticed the bars at the bottom weren't moving at all. I called Cobb and they said to disconnect the USB and reattached it. They assured me it wouldn't screw up the stock ecu and once I did that it took maybe about 10 minutes. Gotta admit I love the smooth ride! No more jerky acceleration!
