They are the same. My the latest JB1 has the OBD wiring already in place. No difference. I have a JB4 and an upgraded JB1 to JB4 and they look the same to me.

2000rpm is on the low side. Try 3400 or around there. I think that is what it recommends in the manual as well.

You might have a Revision 1 JB1 so the harness has got a different cover and the actual unit has a different enclosure. Once they upgraded operationally they identical.

I have the revision 2 jb1 which is the same exact enclosure as the jb4, correct?

The same. On the harness a single wire needs to be added from the uograde kit and its identical to jb4.
I also broke the same connector, 15k later still no issues it pushes together fairly tightly even without the clip
Plenty of tension between the pins in the plug and internal o ring

Hey guys,
I have serious connection issues with the bluetooth module. I placed it on the left side of the battery inside the cover. I'm never able to get it connected when the phone is in the dock (right beside the sat-nav screen). If I hold the phone close to the winscreen it sometimes connects after 5 - 10 attempts. It even doesn't connect flawlessly when I open the hood and put the phone right next to the module.
If it's connected once it stays connected most of the time but you can see from the gages that there's a massive input lag and it even looses data (e.g. gear isn't updated after some shifts).
Any hints how to improve this an more important is there a way to power the unit and test this outside the car? It's so anoying putting this in and out of the car back and forth.
@George: I allready sent you an email about this. Don't know if you were too busy atm but if not could you check your spam folder please?
Regards Florian

I had the same problem. Who produces the bluetooth module is not the BMS. Send an e-mail to Donnie Wittbrodt

Thanks Mauricio.
Can you explain what the problem was? Was it a broken unit or something that could be fixed easily?

My module had connection problems like yours, they sent me a new one and it works fine.

Are you on android? I'm using a galaxy s7 and have the same connection issue. But i haven't noticed any lag in the gauges once connected. The developer mentioned it being an android related issue. I'm going to try my iPad mini and see if it improves.

Also make sure the bluetooth connect is pointing into the cabin. Positioning helped connectivity a great deal.
I have had some issues with the Bluetooth staying connected as well.
I found that the positap had loosened up a bit. I snugged it down and, while I still lose the connection here and there, it's not nearly as bad as it was.

I've read that George recommended to check the Positap and checked that but mine was connected fine and to be honest it's not an option for me to loose connection here and there considering the price of the connect kit.
However I contacted Donnie and he will replace it. So if the new module works I'm fine with that.
