Default Accessport Un-Marry without the Car

I just trade-in my Limited. And forgot to un-marry my AccessPort. I'm planning on selling it. Is there a way that I can un-marry the AP without the car, or restore the AP back to original state?

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Nelson

i would guess no....and you should prolly let the dealer know and see if u can go unmarry it, cause its kinda screwin the dealer over sellin the car w/out the EM but w/ a tune....

call cobb and see if u can pay to have em do it?

Your answer is no... Cobb will do it but will charge you somewhere around $300 to do it..

Cobb can unmarry your accessport for about $300, you need to ship the accessport back and they will reset the AP so it can be married to another car. However, this leaves a car with a "locked" ECU that cannot be read out by or re-written SSM or ECUflash.

I would suggest that you go back to the dealer and tell them about it to unmarry your AP.

Go to the dealer and tell them that yu mistakenly left the car's ECU tuned for some modifications that you removed prior to selling it to them. The car may run OK for a while but it's basically a ticking time bomb. It would be a huge disservice to pass the car on to a customer in its current state. Apologies profusely for the oversight and generously volunteer to return the car to stock before it's too late.

And remember, keep apologizing to them for putting them into this awkward position.

This, and if they ask what you forgot, say your tuned maps
