Ok, so it has to be plugged into the car first, gotcha. What are the hex files? Do I need them? Under SETTINGS on the right side of the screen it says "E Series - N54" in the dropdown menu there is an option "F Series All" do I select that or does that not matter?

EDIT: I see that they are firmware. Do I need them? I have the B48 if that makes any difference...

Do you have B46 or B48?

Is the N20/N24 under the settings tab? I'm still not entire sure what you're talking about. I'm on the Juice Box 4 Performance Tuner screen.

I'll email Terry if B46 needs firmware or nah.

True, custom dyno tuning would probably yield better performance all around. No worries, I guess it's just my run to bother Terry now...

I did and it is right now. It's not plugged into the car though, not sure if that makes a difference...?

Boost safety is set at 6.0?
Default Wastegate pos 2?
Fuel open loop is set to 25?

When I try to change it and save it, it displays "settings saved!" and it just reverts back to these settings...

in response to earlier question, map_1 is an old updated. map_4 is the latest. it fixes issues some people had with the TMAP sensor. you will want to do map_4...but...note that if you are running an old circuitboard, map_1 and map_4 will fail. which means you'll need to ship it back to burger and they'll send you a new circuitboard. but if you're gonna do that, then sh*t, might as well just get the JB4

What do you mean? Does this affect me? I'm confused.

Edit: you mean the hex firmware files?

i mean that if you want to use map_1 or map_4, you should be sure that you're not on an old circuitboard or else you'll brick it. how do you make sure? take picture and send to terry.

There are the maps 0-7? And then there are 2 hex files on n54 tech, the firmware titled mini b48_1.hex and mini b48_4.hex.

disregard maps 0-7. thats for the JB4. i'm referring to those 2 hex files. both require a newer circuitboard. since i bought it very very early i had an old circuitboard. when i upgraded to _1.hex, it bricked. had to send it in to get a newer/updated circuitboard.

Ok yeah makes more sense now. I thought you were talking about the literal maps but yeah I'm running the _1 hex file.

if you are on _1 then _4 will also work. that fixes a bug that will trigger a drive malfunction when the TMAP bypass is plugged in.
