Cobb AP "extra" features request thread

Glowin · 10-23-2011, 02:43 PM

I know they've mentioned that gauge hijacking is on their list of things to do, and I thought maybe we could start a thread here about various requests to consider.

I'd love to have:

Boost on the fuel gauge
AFR on the temp gauge
Shift lights using turn indicators and beep

That would make it perfect, which it's pretty darn close to right now!

Suggestions by others:

TCU flashing
hijack the mpg, miles to empty, ave speed and use that for displaying boost, a/f, timing, IAT, ect.
Would also be cool if you could have different map setting's for AT guys. So driving in just D would be like Cobb's "Drive" map. Shift over to DS and it switches to Cobb's "Sport" or Aggressive" map.
Launch control for 6MT users
No lift shifting for 6MT users
The ability to leave the 7k rev limit in place, on all maps
On the fly map changes
Finer boost, throttle and load control
Economy map for long distance cruising
Meth
Euro support
Use of cruise control stalk for something, like accessing features
for iDrive folks a nice GTR style gauge cluster display would be nice
For the folks who don't have iDrive, use the radio display possibly

Option # 3. Shift light for me please. Got a boost gauge already.

+1 also the blinkers for shifts would be awesome
Edit: Hopefully you can pick and choose which ones you want to use.

MuchMoore · 10-23-2011, 06:37 PM

- The ability to leave the 7k rev limit in place, on all maps.
- In cluster boost gauge.

COBB Tuning · 10-24-2011, 11:12 AM

Thanks for these suggestions and keep them coming!

If you have the AccessPORT mounted in your car, it can be used as a shift light. Go to Monitor, then Set Rev Warning, and the AccessPORT screen will flash at the RPM you set it too.

Dr_Dirt · 10-24-2011, 04:04 PM

I don't know what you could use it for but the cruise control needle, it just sits there most of the time not being used.

Other than that, for us iDrive folks a nice GTR style gauge cluster display would be nice

Also the folks who don't have iDrive have the radio display, that could be useful for something....

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but rather than start a new thread this seems like the "least old" one to resurrect.

I'm seeing conflicting information in my searches about whether Cobb now supports 6MT launch control/2-step/stutterbox and no lift shifting for BMW. Their website also says nothing specific to BMW 6MT that I can find.

Can anyone here confirm either way whether they do or do not support it at this time?
