Madison, WI JB4 Install
Does anybody know of a shop or individual that could install a JB4 for a decent price? I would rather have someone with experience do it as it will be a lot quicker and a lot less stressful.
Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. |

I guess I'll just have to give it a shot myself.

maybe an 1.5 hrs. only because it was the first time under the hood of a bmw and I was taking my time. I installed it on my buddies 335i.
I could probably do it now in about 30 min. Fishing the usb cable through the firewall takes a little time to figure out. I also used black tape on the pin connectors. Just for my own security to know that they won't unplug from each other, not necessary, but its what I did on both his and mine. |

Pay attention to wire colors (not harness), that confused me a little. Take your time and have a laptop or tablet there, as well as the printed instructions

Its extremely easy- I did mine in about 40 mins the first time and was really careful, going back to the guide and videos numerous times. Almost impossible to screw something up . I've pulled it off a few times since then in 10 mins once you get the hang of the ECU plug connectors.
Watch the videos 3-4 times to really understand everything, its pretty straightforward. Otherwise, Performance 2ning in Peosta, IA is a great shop I've used for VW stuff. Im sure he would field a piggyback install. |
