Interesting

Confusing to say the least. My scheduled install is early July, so maybe the easier OBD set up will be available

Go figure, this was their response to me…

I agree, somewhat cryptic, looking back at my response I got in early May was similar saying that for more power and more advanced features OBD was needed, “most people will start out on Map 1, which is pretty mild”

I think it is as said before, even if you get select map2 w/o OBD, you get similar performance like map1, and/or it is basically map 1….

I connected the OBD through that firewall grommet together with my kicker sub power wire, and I am very pleased on both improvements

That's kinda messed up this wasn't made clear from the beginning. Even nothing about it on the videos

Agree, but frankly, for whatever it's worth, this debate "to OBD or Not to OBD?" is pretty easy settle ourselves. The kit's included OBDII connector wire is long and thin enough to simply run it temporarily from under the dash to the outside channeling it through a small opening of the driver's side window, then back in to the engine bay through the gap between the trunk lid and the rear quarter panel. Without definitively snaking the wire under panels, carpet and firewall, you could test it to determine if it's actually needed to switch mappings and, depending on your result, you could then decide for yourself which way you'll prefer to go.
As I said a couple of times here already, my distinct impression is that you don't need the wired OBDII connection to switch between maps and, not having connected mine to the OBDII yet, I just can't believe the difference in power I felt between M1 and M2 mappings was only a figment of my imagination. By now, I would have already performed the above-mentioned test, but I'm currently in Europe and my Emira is in Miami, so as soon as I return (early July) this will be the first thing I'll be testing unless, of course, by then Burger figures out an alternative connection to the OBDII inside the engine bay.

Well I can appreciate your optimism it is clearly stated that although you can choose other maps none of them would be activated without that wire. I'm also in the Miami area when you get back hit me up maybe we can do a little run and see how my TDI compares to your JB4

Sure, sounds good. Let's exchange contact info via PM to follow up in July.

Simple way to put it, we are a much more advanced tuning system vs the latter. No other piggyback will ever come close to what the JB4 system offers, they use a very rudimentary way of doing things.

Whatever way the JB4 does what it does, it bl

Wait what? I need the data cable for Map2? I would have skipped the Bluetooth for the data cable.
Can any other Bluetooth only people confirm this?

think I’ll check this one myself. Sounds nonsensical to me. No offence.

Found exactly the same.

No need to pass the cable under the dash trim or under the sill door panel, just route the cable between the center console and the driver’s seat.

What makes the JB4 better that a truely universal piggyback like the ECUMaster DET3?
