    BMS data cable hard wired directions and software Click here


    Map guide:

    Map0: Stock tuning, disable JB4
    Map1: 3psi peak over stock 91AKI
    Map2: 4si peak over stock 91 AKI
    Map3: 5psi peak over stock (93AKI or 98Ron recommended)
    Map4: Stock tuning, JB4 logging fully active

    Firmware updates:

    Firmware is what the software that runs the JB4 is called. We keep improving on our units by adding more features etc over time.

    To upload new firmware to the unit with the Windows interface connect to the JB4 with engine off but key on. Go to File then Upload firmware and select the firmware from the location you have downloaded it. If the upload fails then try again unit it takes. Its important the data cable is secured to the JB4 circuit board.
    Instructions on how to load it on the app can be found here, be sure to come to this thread when selecting the firmware: http://jb4connectkit.com/store/index...ormation_id=10

    Firmware update to 26/2//5

    1. Battery drain issue with OBD wire fixed
    2. Small mapping changes

    How to update firmware:

    For firmware updates we suggest you turn off WiFi, change upload timeout to 25, and set your phone next to JB4 box under the hood.


    Download firmware using the new JB4 Mobile firmware database or externally by clicking this link.

    In our own stable we have both a US Tiguan as well as a Polo GTI 200hp
    Had the Polo GTI on the dyno for some preliminary map testing. Gains seemed to be good on map 3 but the car has heat soak issues with the smaller front mount intercooler.

    After some cooling car made decent power in map 3. The turbo is a IS20 so there is more range for power and much more torque using map 6 when coupled with cooling mods.

      Really looking forward to this !
      A4 B9 2.0T Fwd gen3b 190hp.
      Any update on gains ?
      Should there be any heat soak issue with this model ?
      It has a lager intercooler than the polo no ?
      Grtz from Belgium !

        Intercooler is large by the looks of things. A user local to me is fitting one next week some time so will get lots of data on the A4.

                We got quite a few testers out and so far so good. At this stage we evaluating the MAF signal and seeing if we can make any improvements by connecting to that.

                          Do you Think you Will have produktion units Ready by Christmas? Incl. EU...

                          Would be tempted to get my selv a Christmas pressent :-D

                          Any plans to offer an intercooler upgrade for the polo or other of the cars that run hot???
                          Or are there already compatible products on the market??

                            Part of our VAG group development gets done in South Africa where I am based. We managed to grab a ex press car albiet at a slight premium.
                            The unit will be ready before then and we expect release this month.
                            We will look at coolers for US models like the Passat but for the Polo the market is to small for us. Wagner is developing a cooler and normally Firge follows suite.

                                    Hey George,

                                    I'm quite keen on the JB4 for my Audi.
                                    Ive got a 2016 190HP A4 B9 2.0TFSI. So I guess this option would be suitable for me? I used a JB4 on my previous BMW F30, and was very impressed,

                                    I'm also based in South Africa. Do you have a rough idea of local pricing? Also happy to be a tester.

                                      Yes, its compatible to your A4.

                                      We adding these to our site this week. For a local price contact a dealer local to you. The pricing is the same as the usual VW JB4 so it should cost the same.

                                        Good to see the JB4 finally drop for group 8. The info provided is pretty limited 35hp & 45 Torque for map 1. What type of power will it make on map 3 with 93 octane? Specifically for the North American Tiguan making 184 hp / 220 torque.

                                          Map 2 should be 45hp over.

                                          In map 3 we getting mixed results as some cars after a few pulls start hesitating. We have tested virtually everything to try solve it and I am now waiting for a few after market spark plugs to see if its caused by blow out. The turbo has around 60hp in it easily but we cannot tap into that yet.

                                            Can any beta tester share some review with the 18 Tiguan?
                                            Looking to get a 18 Tiguan but the only thing holding me back is the power.

                                              power is lacking, but its not terrible if you drive it in sport. I have the JB4 tuner on the way, so once it's installed in conjunction with the pedal tuner I'll report back.

                                                        I just installed my JB4 and on my first drive the EPC light came on. I did some research and found that plug C could be the issue. I plugged in OEM plug and it runs fine now. Anyone else have this issue and does the jb4 still unlock all the potential power if one plug isnt connected.

                                                        Codes from JB4 app

I plugged in OEM plug and it runs fine now. Anyone else have this issue and does the jb4 still unlock all the potential power if one plug isnt connected.

                                                          Codes from JB4 app

                                                            Hi George, what cooling mods do you mean in here? Cooling for a dyno or a bigger IC?
                                                            Are you aware of any IC upgrades ready for purchase for the new Polo GTI 2.0TSI to become map 6 compliant?

                                                              In general, the IAT can climb 30C in a single pull through the gears. There isn't a cooler available yet. I know Wagner is working on one so it should be the first to become available.

                                                                Would we run into cooling issues on the 2018 A4 190hp models ? Or the cooling functionality is different between the A4 and what you are testing?

                                                                  In the next few weeks we are fitting on A4 that are in hot climates and will have a better idea.

                                                                    Read the install pdf, what is the obd2 cable for? What about spark plugs from a gti or r? You think the turbo has around 60hp in it, is that on pump gas? Will I be able to take advantage of alcohol injection? Im guessing accessing command mode through the steering controls isnt possible? Does the app or laptop have access to all the same functions?

                                                                                        I have now map6 at 4.5psi max ,comparing with my previuos gen3 tuned by flash I think is over 50ps+ the more gain is from 4000rpm to 6000rpm ,before was very weak in this range.

                                                                                        Comment

                                                                                          Had the Polo GTI on the dyno for some preliminary map testing. Gains seemed to be good on map 3 but the car has heat soak issues with the smaller front mount intercooler.

                                                                                          After some cooling car made decent power in map 3. The turbo is a IS20 so there is more range for power and much more torque using map 6 when coupled with cooling mods.

                                                                                          George, I have the JB4 now fitted to my Polo. Should map 3 be OK as it is - 1 outside

The variance is most likely mapping. On the Tiguan the base ECU tune does not allow for similar boost levels for consistent power at this level.

Are you using the connect kit? Is it worth it at this stage of the jb4 just being released for our engines? If so what map is safe to use on us 93oct pump gas with no other mods. Thanks!
