Not sure whom the vehicle’s owner is. Most photos are provided by photographers we work with.

Hey Kyle,

Any update on the mk7 Golf R support?

Cheers,

Dale

Kyle on March 14, 2017 says:

It’s still in the works! No ETAs at this time.

Matt Potyrt on March 20, 2017 says:

Any word on if the 1.8t mk7s will be getting support in the future?

Kyle on March 20, 2017 says:

There’s not currently anything in the works for that vehicle but it’s a possibility. If support is released, it’ll be a long ways down the road.

Matthew Pettitt on April 17, 2017 says:

What about any eta on ATR and or the classes.

Marshall on April 17, 2017 says:

No ETA for Volkswagen Accesstuner at this time. I imagine once we have completed some other projects we will be able to focus on it and get it out the door relatively quickly.

David Whitney on May 1, 2017 says:

What about an Accessport for the Audi A3 2.0?

Kyle on May 4, 2017 says:

Hello,

We may eventually release an Accessport for that vehicle but it would be a long way down the road.

Kyle@COBB

Lisandro Martinez on May 7, 2017 says:

How’s it going guys? Would you guys be releasing any TCU tunes for the DSG?

Marshall on May 9, 2017 says:

Hi there! We do plan to offer DSG flashing for the Mk6 and MK7 GTI, unfortunately we do not have an accurate time frame for that quite yet.

Marshall@COBB

Matt Ligas on May 11, 2017 says:

Will there be any Access Ports for mk6 jetta gli?

Marshall on May 15, 2017 says:

Hey Matt, we do not currently plan to offer an Accessport for the Jetta GLI. Sorry for the bad news!

Noel Acosta Costa on May 27, 2017 says:

Hello

I would like to know why if the webpage says that the support is available for GTI 2015 & 2016, then why if we already reach to get your support response is that is not in your list but it will be until toward the end of Q3, meaning September ??? please clarify what do you mean by saying SUPPORT NOW AVAILABLE, I would appreciate your prompt response as I have delayed the custom tune because of you.

Marshall on May 30, 2017 says:

Noel,

Our Mk7 VW GTI support is currently available for all current USDM vehicles. Are you looking for support for a non-USDM vehicle? If so, it may be a while before that is available.

Marshall@COBB

Noel Acosta Costa on November 21, 2017 says:

Hello Marshall

Any update after your reply ? “Our Mk7 VW GTI support is currently available for all current USDM vehicles. Are you looking for support for a non-USDM vehicle? If so, it may be a while before that is available” the problem that I have is that the tuner cannot connect the ecu to make the custom tune, i bought it with Freektune so I will appreciate your update I have been waiting since May.

Marshall on November 22, 2017 says:

Hey Noel, I assume you’re referring to international vehicle support. We do have a project in the works to add support for other markets however at this time I do not have an accurate ETA.

Larry Kaddy on May 28, 2017 says:

I just recieved a K&N filter as a gift and was wondering if I can use that filter for a stage 1 tune or is there a difference between the cobb drop in filter offered in your “stage1” package and the K&N?

Marshall on May 30, 2017 says:

Hey Larry! You can absolutely use your K&N Filter. Luckily the Mk7 GTI is load based and does not rely on MAF sensor calibrations to calculate airflow. This means that intakes are, for the most part, interchangeable.

Javier Mart?nez on July 7, 2017 says:

I have two questions, the first is it works WM models? If so, is it possible that it can be used on other platforms of the VAG group? Like AUDI S3, SEAT Leon Cupra, I understand that these models share platforms, powertrain and ECU.
Here in Mexico are very popular the Seat Leon Cupra and would be good option of tuning the AccessPort.

Marshall on July 7, 2017 says:

Hi Javier! Our Mk7 GTI support is currently only available for USDM vehicles, we do plan to offer support for additional markets in the future. While many cars within VAG utilize the same powertrain and even very similar ECUs they do have different ROM versions which we do not currently support. If we see demand for any of those vehicles it may be something we look into.

Marshall@COBB

Jose Escobar on July 20, 2017 says:

Any update on if and when there will be an accessport for mk6 Gli 2.0t

Marshall on July 21, 2017 says:

No update as of yet. Our VW team has a few large projects in the pipeline that will hopefully be wrapping up near the end of this year. We may be able to look into additional vehicle support at that time.
