Its not MAC compatible without virtualizing windows.

You need to install the JB4 software and use the software to upload/update the firmware on the JB4! The CAN file is the RAW firmware, so its not a program or anything to load as its used by the JB4 software to update the JB4.

Ive been on Map2 with the JB4 which is the 14.5 map.. Tryed out the adaptive PID setting tonite, did only 2 WOT runs in 3rd for the car to adjust and autotune the PID, but i def noticed a difference after those 2 runs in how the car reacted.
Im sure everyones car is gonna vary from conditions and etc.
My car now feels like when i step on the pedal boost comes on even faster, almost instantly and it comes on harder!
Gonna do some more driving this weekend and get some logs, but so far, it feels like its doing its job! Very interesting new tuning feature. Looking foward to 100% autotuning to be released.

Probably not but you can check the version you have through the JB4 software.

Yes you can set whatever RPM you want.

I should add you can set the shift light wherever you want within the 5000-7000K RPM range. So the earliest you can set it is 5K

Can we change the RPM limit in transport mode? 4500 RPM seems pretty high....

That's 135 MPH in 6th...
