We recently released a new firmware update for the North American model Subaru AccessPORT. A lot of good stuff is included, as we continue to improve the functionality and features of the AccessPORT. It’s hard to believe we only released it back in Dec. ’06, considering how far it’s already come and all the potential it still has. Maybe I’m biased, but I think it’s cool to see all the work the engineers put into improving a device (through free updates) people have already paid for rather than focusing all their attention on the next generation device for people to buy.

A few screenshots of the new features:

Instant and Averaged Fuel Economy

An improved Live Data screen with a fade-away header and footer that makes navigating between parameters easier and more intuitive.

I hope you never see this screen, the Fatal Error (or System Error if you can read Japanese). Still, while I dislike any reason this screen may be displayed I love the graphic. Biggie did such a great job with the “sick AccessPORT”. (please don’t sue us Apple!) That being said, one of the reasons to do the update are much improved error handling and recovering when an error occurs.

So if you own an AccessPORT for a Subaru vehicle, you need to update! It’s easy and FREE! Find out more here.
