If you get one used, you have to make sure that it's unmarried from the current owners car. Otherwise, Cob charges you like $300 to unlock it.

Cheers Mate ill check that out now. And so ur saying there is no launch control or flat foot shifting available with the AP for the 8. I am apart of the NASIOC forum and the guys on there say that if u want to use those features it has to be plugged in. Also is the mazdatrix port template good/ who makes the best template. And I can't seem to find a exhaust port template, dose anyone even make one for the 8 or are the stock ports big enought to breath out the extra exhaust gas (don't think there'd be much extra gases just want to do it right)

Well I have just looked at racing beat website and saw they have a port template aswell and a PCM flash for the renisis with there street port. The PCM reflash is 300 and anothe 100 for the template. Where if I go with the Mazdatrix template for 100 I'd be looking at the 600 for the AP. so does anyone have a link of these 2 being compared possibly or a little write up. It seems the racing beat S-port and reflash route would be cheaper then just the AP. I don't mind spending extra $ on a better performing setup, but if its not a noticble differance y spend the extra $.
