COBB Tuning V3 Accessport for P552 Ford F-150 (3.5L ecoboost) [AP3-FOR-007]
The all-new Accessport V3, designed for in-cabin installation, offers a seamless ECU flashing experience and a comprehensive gauge package. It boasts a generously sized, high-resolution, full-color screen, allowing users to monitor up to six parameters in real-time. The device provides customization options, including various bezel colors, gauge cluster layouts tailored for racing, street, or dyno applications, and a wide selection of standard vehicle mounting options. Beyond its appealing aesthetics, the Accessport V3 incorporates enhanced processing power, expanded memory, and increased storage capacity, ensuring faster flashing speeds while securely storing all maps and logs. Notably, this version of the Accessport introduces the capability to flash the TCM (transmission control module), offering a range of off-the-shelf transmission tunes that adjust shift points, shift firmness, skip shift behavior, and torque limits to suit the user’s preferred driving style.
Why COBB Tuning?
The Accessport is renowned as the world’s leading, most adaptable, and user-friendly ECU upgrade solution for the Ford F-150. It enables users to unleash the hidden power concealed within their vehicles by replacing the factory’s conservative settings with more assertive calibrations. Whether one decides to follow the staged upgrade path using pre-loaded off-the-shelf (OTS) maps or opts for custom mapping tailored to their specific modification level, the Accessport serves as a lasting and comprehensive engine management solution that may be the only ever needed.
TCM Map Notes
Beginning in 2020, the F-150 integrated the ECU and TCM into a single unit, necessitating the flashing of one map that simultaneously encompasses both the transmission and engine maps. However, for vehicles produced from 2017 to 2019, users will need to manually choose the map for the ECU and TCM separately when they are flashing distinct units, provided that the Accessport supports transmission tuning. The calibration described here pertains to the stock transmission of a 2019-2020 F-150 Limited.
COBB OEM+
This map is intended to be a sporty but refined improvement on the stock transmission behavior
Shift Points: Skip-shifting in ‘normal’ drive mode has been maintained. Moderately increased shift points for sportier acceleration. More responsive downshift schedules. More anticipatory coast-down (off-power) shift schedules.
Shift Firmness: Moderately increased shift firmness during high-power, high RPM shifts in ‘normal’ and ‘sport’ drive modes
Upshift Backout: Upshift inhibits (zero APP gear-holding) in ‘sport’ mode following high-power acceleration and throttle backout has been disabled. Stock behavior would inhibit upshift until pedal position is re-applied above ~10%.
Torque Limits: Increased torque limits for more aggressive launches & acceleration
COBB Sport
This map is intended to be a performance-first improvement on the stock transmission behavior
Shift Points: Skip-shifting in ‘normal’ mode has been eliminated, except for light throttle 1-3 shifts for comfort. Increased shift points for livelier acceleration. More responsive downshift schedules. More anticipatory coast-down (off-power) shift schedules.
Shift Firmness: Increased shift firmness during moderate to high-power shifts in ‘normal’ and ‘sport’ drive modes
Upshift Backout: Upshift inhibit (zero APP gear-holding) in ‘sport’ mode following high-power acceleration and throttle backout has been disabled. Stock behavior would inhibit upshift until pedal position is re-applied above ~10%.
Torque Limits: Increased torque limits for more aggressive launches & acceleration

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked.

Shipping Policy
-+
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.
BP Pricing Difference
-+
We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
