AA Active-8 not selling???

MyMiniM3 · 08-21-2018, 02:58 PM

I posted to sell my year old AA Active-8 piggyback in the classifieds a while back and received not even a nibble. I noticed another individual posted the same unit for less around the same time and he as well never had a bite or sold his.

My question is, did something come ur about these piggybacks that makes them less desired than others? I haven't seen anything and figured someone with more knowledge could shed some light on the situation.

With flash tuning available piggy backs aren't popular anymore.

I have a JB4 I used for 3 years that I took out when I flashed to BM3, didn't even bother trying to sell it.

You might be better off selling on eBay. When I was looking for a stage 1 I noticed the selling prices on eBay were quite a bit higher than on forums(around $100).

Appreciate it! I'll give that a try.

Why would you upgrade/change it? Are flashes giving more power? Happy A8 user here.

Switched out to the stage 2 flash from AA due to the better climb in power, slightly better power gains, it removed the DP CEL and finalized my FBO the day I installed the flash. She's def come alive with the stage 2 flash even more so than the AA piggyback.

JB4 sells easily in the classifieds as they have continuous updates and development. With the flashing out once you've made the decision to flash you can use BMS' free back end flash maps which saves you money on the maps, provides a lot of neat features like on the fly boost changes, in dash gauges, logging to your phone, boost by gear on the fly, autotuning for E85 mixtures, etc. The JB4 is a great tool that is equally useful to those who have flashed as to those still running the stock flash.
