I was reading over the install instructions, and Had one question.

At the start it says:

"Before starting installation open the hood, close the doors, lock the vehicle, and let it sit 5 minutes for the DME to go to sleep. Place the keys inside so you don't accidentally wake it up during the install process."

then at the end of
the install:

"8) From the driver side of the vehicle drop the lower kick panel by removing two 2mm bolts and pulling it down.

9) Push the OBDII cable through the firewall hole and plug it in to the matching small black connector on the JB4 harness. Extra wire length can be coiled out of the way.

10) Plug the OBDII plug in to the OBDII port and reinstall the kick panel. "

So, Its ok to wake up the DME by unlocking the car, & opening the door before you plug in the OBDII port?

 

I believe that when you get to the OBD part of the install you are ok to awaken the beast. From JB+ install days it was the TMAP sensor that wanted to be installed on a sleeping car.

 

correct...the "work with DME off" is when you plug/unplug the MAP/TMAP sensors.

 

Hi everyone have a question on the data logging.
I just got my JB4 now the question is where do I connect data logging cable?

thanks

 

either
- to JB4 and then to your laptop
or
- buy OTG cable and connect that to logging cable. from here, should be able to plug to your phone.

 

thing is there is no space (plug) on JB4 laptop part on know
was just wondering if they send me a wrong unit ordered one with Data cable

 

it's serial on one end and standard usb on the other end. pretty simple cable. if that's not the case, then yes you have the wrong cable.

 

I have the cable with the serial and USB.
I just can't find WHERE TO plug it.

thank you Marco

 

the serial plugs into the JB4 in the engine bay..the usb side...well...you get one guess.

 

I checked the while box there is no place to plug Serial or anything in that matter

 

Thank you Marco

the computer part of it is easy.
it is hard to plug a serial plug into a box with no holes. Lol

is it under the sticker or hidden.
it has to be connected directly to JB4 yes?

 

There is JB4 and 3 wires.
2 got to sensors one goes to OBDII that's all I have on mine

 

apologies...seems terry may have updated the JB4's enclosure. mine has a serial port right on the outside of it. i can only guess that perhaps the new enclosure has the serial port on the inside. does one side of the JB4 have a small (1/4") hole. if so, then yes, you have to pop open the enclosure to locate the serial port.

 

ok that's what I was thinking just didn't want to open something I shouldn't.
Can't wait to plug that you.

thank you
when i get home will open it and see

 

Marco Sorry to bother one more time.
what software for Windows do I use to do Data Logging.
Terry is a genius but web site could be bit better for the support.
unless because I look on a phone it doesn't show me some things but doubt it.

thank you

 

Think I have found everything on N54 site

 

Marco Thank you for all the help
got everything working including the JB4 Mobile using cable.

 

Lock the car with your keys INSIDE ?????

 

yes and then waited 5min and left window down.
