Accessport Installation
Pre-Installation
The Accessport comes with the most up-to-date software and map files available at the time
of shipment. However, it is possible that updated software and/or map files have been made
available since the time of shipment. Therefore, the recommended procedure is to connect
the Accessport to the Accessport Updater and AP Manager software and download the
latest software and map files for the target vehicle. Please install the Software CD for more
information.
IMPORTANT!
Before installing the Accessport on the vehicle, it is important to verify that the
vehicle is adequately prepared for the installation process. Since the Accessport
uses the vehicle's battery for power and the ECU reprogramming process requires
adequate battery power as well, it is critical to verify that the vehicle's battery has
a good charge. This can be done through the use of a battery charger/conditioner
or by driving the vehicle for a period of time prior to installation to allow the
alternator to recharge the battery. Furthermore, please ensure that all in-car
electronic devices are turned off to reduce power draw on the battery. This
includes car stereos, video screens, GPS units, radar detectors, interior and
exterior vehicle lights, and any other electronic device that uses the car battery for
power.
