COBB AP3-FOR-005 AccessPORT V3 ECU Tuner | 2017-2020 Ford F-150 Raptor / 2019-2020 F-150 Limited

Overview

The COBB AccessPORT V3 (AP3-FOR-005) is the world's best-selling, most flexible, and easiest-to-use ECU upgrade solution purpose-built for the 2017–2020 Ford F-150 Raptor and 2019–2020 F-150 Limited 3.5L EcoBoost. Designed for performance enthusiasts who want to unlock every horsepower and torque figure hidden behind conservative factory calibrations, the AccessPORT V3 delivers professional-grade ECU tuning in a handheld, in-cabin mountable device. Whether you're running a bone-stock Raptor or a fully modified build, the AccessPORT V3 is the last engine management solution you'll ever need.

Key Features & Benefits

• Large Full-Color High-Resolution Display — Monitor up to six ECU parameters in real time directly on the vibrant in-cabin screen, including boost, IAT, RPM, and more — no separate gauge pod required.
• Pre-Loaded Off-The-Shelf (OTS) Maps — Stage 1 (93 oct) delivers peak gains of up to +15.32% HP / +17.07% TQ; Stage 2 (93 oct) reaches peak gains of up to +23.54% HP / +20.93% TQ, with max curve gains up to +50.64% HP / +50.64% TQ on a 2018 Raptor test vehicle.
• Store Up to 100 Calibrations — Save OTS maps, custom dyno tunes, and e-tunes all in one device and switch between them instantly for street, track, or off-road use.
• Raptor Auto Start-Stop Disable — Permanently disable the factory auto start-stop feature in a few button presses. The setting is retained across key cycles — no more resetting it every time you start the truck.
• Dynamic Pedal Control — Sharpen or soften throttle pedal response on a scale of -5 to +10, putting you in full control of how aggressively the truck responds to your right foot.
• Valet Mode — Limit throttle output to approximately 25% to protect your Raptor when leaving it with others. Setting is retained across key cycles without requiring a map change.
• Fuel Pump Control — Directly control the in-tank fuel pump via the AccessPORT, useful for draining the tank to switch fuels, depressurizing the fuel system for injector swaps, or other maintenance tasks.
• TCM Flashing Compatible (Upgrade Available) — Optional TCM flashing capability adjusts shift points, shift firmness, skip-shift behavior, and torque limits. Three OTS TCM maps available: Simulated Stock, OEM+, and Sport. Especially beneficial for 2017–2018 Raptor owners, correcting the notorious harsh Sport-mode 4–5 shift.
• Data Logging Up to 10 Hours — Record multiple data channels simultaneously for in-depth engine performance evaluation. Download and analyze logs via the free Accessport Manager app on PC or Mac.
• Built-In Performance Measuring Suite — Measure 0–60 mph times, 60-foot times, ¼-mile elapsed times, and trap speed directly from the device.
• Shift Light — Set custom RPM warning lights for consistently optimal shift timing on the track or street.
• Flex Fuel Support (with COBB CAN Gateway Add-On) — The optional COBB CAN Gateway Flex Fuel Upgrade measures ethanol content and sends that data to the ECU to enable AccessPORT-delivered flex fuel calibrations.
• Customizable Appearance — Includes two interchangeable bezel colors (blue and grey). Choose from thousands of standard vehicle mount options for a clean, in-cabin installation.
• Simple, Fully Reversible Installation — Plugs directly into the OBD-II port. Intuitive on-screen prompts guide you through vehicle identification and map selection. The Uninstall function reverts the ECU to factory stock in minutes — no tools, no wiring required.
• Built-In Diagnostics — Read and clear DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), check I/M Readiness status, perform Memory Snapshots, reset ECU, and identify vehicle — all from one device, saving costly dealer visits.
• Accessport Manager Software (Free) — Use your PC or Mac to manage maps, download datalogs, and update the AccessPORT firmware.

Important: This AccessPORT is vehicle-specific and will pair (marry) to your ECU upon installation. It cannot be transferred to a different vehicle without first uninstalling (unmarrying) it from the current vehicle. This unit does not include TCM flashing — see AP3-FOR-005-TCM for the transmission tuning variant. Do not install this AccessPORT over any non-OEM or non-COBB software, as this may result in ECU/TCU failure.

Emissions Compliance

This product is 50-state legal for sale and use on emissions-controlled vehicles in all 50 states, including California, when used in accordance with the manufacturer's application guide. CARB Executive Order (EO) Numbers: D-660-23 and D-660-108.

Installation

The COBB AccessPORT V3 is a true plug-and-play device requiring no tools, no wiring modifications, and no professional installation. Simply connect the included OBD-II cable to your Raptor's OBD-II port (located under the driver-side dash), follow the intuitive on-screen prompts to identify your vehicle and select your desired map, and the flash is complete in minutes. The universal in-cabin mount and power on/off switch allow for a clean, permanent dash-mounted installation. To uninstall, select the Uninstall option from the main menu — the ECU is fully restored to OEM stock programming. It is strongly recommended to uninstall the AccessPORT before any dealership service visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the COBB AccessPORT V3 AP3-FOR-005 CARB compliant and legal in California?
Yes. This part carries CARB Executive Order numbers D-660-23 and D-660-108, making it 50-state legal for use on emissions-controlled vehicles when used per the manufacturer's application guide.

Does this AccessPORT include TCM (transmission) flashing?
No. The AP3-FOR-005 includes ECU flashing only. For TCM flashing capability — which adds OTS transmission tunes for shift points, shift firmness, and skip-shift behavior — you will need the AP3-FOR-005-TCM variant or a TCM flashing upgrade.

Can I return my Raptor's ECU to stock after using the AccessPORT?
Yes. The Uninstall feature in the main menu fully reverts your ECU to factory stock programming at any time.

Will this work with custom tunes from a third-party COBB tuner?
Yes. The AccessPORT V3 is fully compatible with custom maps created via COBB Accesstuner software (sold separately) or loaded by any COBB Professional Tuning Network member — including remote e-tuning.
