No, I believe it's the exact same.

All JB4 units for the golf, gti and R are the same. They will work on any one of them

I bought a used Rev 1 JB1 for my Golf (arrives tomorrow). So I downloaded the JB4 windows software and new firmware file.
In order to update the firmware and set the map to 1, I need this installed on my car? Or can I do this before I install it?
Can you believe I work in IT?! [emoji6]

If I have a group 1 unit can it be reprogramed with the BMS cable to become a group 3?
I finally upgraded my JB1 to JB4 and put it back in the car yesterday. My initial impression of map one is that the JB4 delivers the power in a much more linear way than the JB1. It feels very smooth, and very similar to my Mk6 GTI. I also noticed that the new torque curve fixed a flat spot that the JB1 had, one that was apparent when accelerating uphill in 3rd gear at 3,000 or so RPM. I'm liking it very much.
Out of habit, I connected the crank position sensor to the JB4, which I understand is unecessary on this unit. Will this cause any problems, or will it simply function as a pass-through?

Group 1 is the same as group 3, they just use the groups to track sales numbers.

BMS Cable Routing in 1.8T
A couple of questions, some JB1 related; others JB4 related (though upgrading from JB1):
1. Does anyone have a guide that shows how to route the BMS cable from the JB1 to the interior of the vehicle (i.e. MDI connector compartment, glovebox, etc.)?
2. What's the purpose of the ODB connector on the JB4?
