you need to download the jb4 interface from here for 1/21 or earlier firmware or here for 4/20 firmware. Install the driver included in the zip, then install the interface. You need to change the com port in the jb4 interface. Install thread can be found here

Try this. Right click my computer and click properties. Then go to the device manager. In that window, there should be a list of connected devices that are on the com ports. Use that com port in the JB4 interface. Make sure the car is on when you try this. Do you have the 4/22 interface? Maybe your JB4 isnt the most recent version which means you will need the older interface for it.

Also, in the folder that you unzip for the JB4 interface, there is a USB_driver included. You might need to run this. windows 7 took care of it for me but idk about other OS'.

Remember power has to be on (i.e. ignition fully on)

Here is the latest software and firmware.
