Buying a used COBB Accessport: verify part number and install status

A working screen does not prove the device can be installed on your car.

Verify compatibility first

Match the Accessport part number to the exact vehicle in COBB’s current catalog. Similar cases and cables can cover different applications. Ask for clear photographs of the device identification and status, not only the seller’s description.

Check whether it is still installed

COBB explains that an Accessport still installed on another vehicle cannot simply be used on yours. Have the seller complete the supported uninstall process or obtain current relicensing terms directly from COBB. Include that cost before deciding the used unit is a bargain.

Check what comes with it

Confirm the correct cable, accessories and account or support requirements. Do not assume custom maps or another owner’s calibration are transferable or appropriate. Complete the transaction only when compatibility and license state are documented.
