Enabled by default but you can disable it under global settings if you prefer.

Mike,

Got the okay from Terry and just wanted to update the JB3 2.0 and P3 Vent Gauge users on some good news...

I tested out the firmware the enables the "on the fly" mapswitching feature on the P3 vent gauge, for Terry this morning to make sure it works before he released the firmware to everyone else to test out.

Guys with the P3 Vent Gauge and JB3 2.0...you CAN now mapswitch on the fly using the gauge and switching to whichever map(s) you enter in the interface. If you have a laptop/netbook handy, you can see it work in the STATUS bar on the interface. Telling you guys first hand, it's a totally cool feature because you can designate whichever map (0-9) you want each of the 4 map options on the vent gauge to switch to. For example, mine is set @ Bc1 - map0, Bc2 - map3, Bc3 - Map5, Bc4 - Map7.

Just remember to enable the boost control feature on the vent gauge and to connect the 2 pins from the gauge to slots 2 & 15 on the JB3 harness. I ran my wires from the same grommet in the ecu box as the usb so I didn't have extra wires floating in the engine bay, all the way to the gauge.

So for anyone else who wants to test this out the new Firmware 2/17 and mapswitch using their P3 vent gauge, it is now available for download on n54tech. Remember you have to download both the JB3 2/17 firmware and the 2/17 interface, in order for the mapswitching to work.

Have fun! I totally think this is an awesome feature. I know what maps "I" assigned to each "bc" function on the vent gauge so there is no second guessing what map i'm on.

Cool! Great to see the map switching feature fully utilized!

cool..

Looks like it might be time to upgrade to 2.0 and get my p3 gauge installed!

[supahdave]

installed the new firmware last night. works as advertised!

[primetim]

the BMS tuning gauge is not useless or will it still be available to use in the future?

[john boxter]

ya i just had the bms tunning gauge installed on my 1.4 will it still work with the 2.0?

[FotiosF90M5]

This is HUGE for jb3 cusomers who are lucky enough to have this gauge.. On the fly mapswitching is what this tune really needs.

[gerardm]

didnt it always have this ability? whats different the ability to pick and choose bc1, 3, & 4 and not just bc2 anymore?

I dont think you could pick which map you wanted on the Gauge except for the bc2 - the others were fixed. Now you can pick whatever you want on any BC.

It did, but you had to burn different firmware. This is the first release for mapswitching on 2.0. On 1.3/1.4 maps were preselected so you couldnt change them. On 2.0 you can designate maps for BC1,2,3,4.

For instance. I have Map 0 on BC1, Map 3 on BC2, Map 5 on BC3, Map 7 on BC4. You can set any map to each of the positions to your liking.,

2.0 didnt have it at first. 2.0 is the only jb3 Ive had since the very first version. Ive only had the procede while having the gauge.

word i remember when i had jb3, bc2 = pedal the rest were preset

so thats cool good stuff

[john boxter]

wait what about the bms tuning gauge still working for this?

[Jonny550]

can you custom tune the PSI you want to hit in each gear?

[Mike@N54Tuning.com]

Last I heard they are working on a firmware to get the BMS gauge up to speed to allow map switching, boost readout and IAT readout.

No, although with 2.0 its much easier to control boost with the throttle. Many auto customers like HotRod have perfected a 2nd gear launch as well for traction limited environments which is also a good option. BMS was working on a launch mode for track use and got side tracked, it will be interesting to see what they come up with when they get back on it.
