If you have a map loaded from another accessport then you are f**ked. You would need that accessport to change anything, including unmarrying the map from your ECU. I would suggest calling cobb and see what they can offer. I bet you will probably have to send in your ECU however. Good luck.

Yeah sounds like whoever the previous owner was flashed the car and thats why you can't flash now with your AP. I'm guessing like rmo55c that you'll have to send in the ECU to Cobb. They should be able to fix it so you can flash.
