  1. I totally understand support has ended, however there is a dude here in ontario, Canada that wants to sell me his Cobb accessport v2 for mazda , will this still work and I can still flash my rx8 in 2023? or will it not work due to no support because it is necessary to connect to your servers etc.? First time potential cobb user as I am coming off of hondata, and ktuner. Thanks much appreciated.

    • Hey Jason,

      If the Accessport is both Uninstalled and still in working order there is no reason to believe it wouldn’t work. My only word of caution would be that we no longer offer repair/replacement services on those devices so if something were to happen while it is installed to your car, it may leave you in a tricky situation.
