I think any android device has to be OTG compatible.. (I dont know what otto is )

[Eat.Sleep.Race]

I need this ASAP! Please get back in stock!

[SoFlo_BD]

Will this work with the jb4 on my m235i?

[AJF80]

I will preorder now!! please get some back in stock!! This will work with the n55 335i with the JB4 G5 correct? I dont recall seeing that option in the engine selection menu on the video.

I want to buy a cable for my iPhone anyone selling one?

Ok so I have the entire JB4 Mobile set up and had some codes come up today that read "No description found" after the codes. I was wondering if there's a way I can search these codes online to find out what they are or do I need an OBD2 scanner? Sorry if this has been answered but I'm not finding much information.

You may have just solidified me choosing JB4 over Cobb....

Why? For consideration Cobb has useless maps, and the JB4 is a hack job that is inconsistent at producing power.

MHD is latest choice over Cobb and JB, as it has very good maps, giving it a factory feel with exceptional power over the others. The gauges are coming as well, and they will look much like the ones you see here.

Thx. Reading up on it now.

Dude, thx so much for pointing me to the MHD app. Running stage 1 now...very happy.

How does one thumbs down this comment?? Absolutely worthless and full of misinformation. I have no beef for MHD, but Cobb and JB4 have both been used and tested into the ground to show that they are both extremely capable and reliable tuning platforms for the n54/55's. In addition, the user experience with JB4 via JB4 Mobile App is absolutely outstanding. No other tuning platform comes close to the design/layout/ease of use nor offers the ability to adjust/tweak/log/etc on the go as easily as JB4 + JB4 Mobile App- I have friends literally considering getting N54 e9x's because of how geeked out they are with the ability to tune on the go with an iOS device. And the support offered by Terry and his team is world class.

And I have tested them as well. MHD is better. And, how exactly can you 'tune' on the go with an IOS device? I think you are misusing the word 'tune'. JB4 is not a tune, it's a boost controller. Now, I'll ask you to stop spreading the misinformation.

Regarding Terry's 'world-class service' - this statement is beyond ad nauseum. His service is essential when you consider how non-user friendly the JB4 software is, and how installs get botched by those who shouldn't be pulling apart their ECU harnesses in the first place.

MHD - plug and play, and highly intuitive. OTS Maps are better than COBB, and, because it's a tune and not a hack, the transmission knows what is going on. A JB4 will f' up your auto/dct transmission, guaranteed, unless you have a flash tune. Which gives credence to the fact that a FLASH TUNE is better for the car, let alone the performance advantage over Cobb and any piggyback boost controller (not just JB)
/thread. And,

[Chitown335i]

Does anyone have the N20 Tmap sensor installed. What should the settings be at ? Does it then target higher boost in like map 2 and 7?

You must be a delight to have conversation with in real life. You had a bad experience with JB4 and now you feel the need to piss in everyone else's bowl of Cheerios.

For clarification, no claims were ever made on my end against MHD or backend flashes (I run one!). I was simply providing a different point of view to your clearly negative bias. In addition, you continue to make (explicitly or implied) fallacious statements without factual backing.

A) "Guaranteed" transmission failure caused by JB4? I can site countless high mileage JB4 tuned N54's running stock 6AT's without issue (many well above the 6HP21 factory rated 332 ft-lb limits). Burden of proof lies in your lap, please support your claim.

B) OTS can rewrite TCM logic??? Please share more.

C) "How can you 'tune' on the go with an iOS device?" Come on. Now thats just plain silly. It's arguing over semantics; like bickering over the pronunciation of the word "potato". You and everyone else on this forum know it's a tuning platform. There are many different ways to tune an ICE. But anytime you can adjust multiple parameters via software (laptop/iOS device) to increase vehicle performance directly, yes that's called being able to "tune". End of story.

One more note: The "world class service" statement being used beyond ad nauseum about Terry/BMS... Fortunately/unfortunately it also applies to many other vendors on these forums, as it's a prerequisite for any vendor stepping into the 'fickle' N54/N55 modification game.

OK - attack my character. Classy.

And yes, I am delightful. Couldn't have said it better.


I didn't have a bad experience with the jb4, I had 'an experience', which led me to the conclusion that a JB4 is not a good device for increasing the performance of my BMW.

I also feel that Cherios already smell like piss, so I don't eat them. Sorry if my JB4 experience made that worse for you


A) Site is spelled 'Cite'. The issue, more specifically, is the transmission will slip without a flash. Ultimately, this is not good and will absolutely cause issues down the road. Check this out - AMIRIGHT? http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...1022045&page=2


B) I did not say 'OTS can rewrite TCU logic'. You should re-read what I stated, if you're up to the difficult task of simple word comprehension. However, MHD IS looking to write the Alpina flash through their flashing tool in the near future - how about that nice little carrot for your gross misinterpretation of my statement.


C) It's not semantics at all. And your comparing the word 'tune' to the pronunciation of 'potato' indicates how you really don't understand my point. Somehow, the word 'tune' has been mis-used by the JB community. Just because a manufacturer combined an Air Fuel controller and Boost controller together does not make it a real 'tune', per say. It's a piggyback system that manipulates values outside of the ECU. A tune, in every car community, is well known to be a flash to the ECU.

Might as well call an Apexi SAFC a tune based on your logic.

Anyway, sorry you got all butt hurt. Lighten up man, no one said your Jb4 sucks goat testicles - yet, anyway.

Just tried to purchase the app from google store. It was purchasd but it never downloaded and installed. anyone have the same issue? I refunded but am wondering if I should just repurchase and try to download again?

[Exxxtacy]

Are these made on order or are they shipped right away?

[brewnami]

Glad I waited until I bought an android tablet for the MHD flasher before I bought this. Love the interface and that you don't need to spend $100 extra for all the cables to work with iOS. $27.99 well spent!

Doesn't seem to be the 12v adapter since I'm using the same to power the phone on my custom base, all connections seems fine, all wires are fine, teied to swap the 12v adapter and same thing happens...

Could my dongle be out of wack and already going bad?? It's not even 1yo...:

I am hardly ever on this forum so luckily I just happened to see your post. Try restarting your phone/tablet a time or 2 and see if the issue remains.
