Yes, you can actually remove it in any map you in. Later firmware will default the JB4 to 0 boost add and earlier version will add 4psi.
Map 0 in all cases will be stock pass through.

We have put up a new firmware version that you can get here: https://www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50428
The firmware will appear as 60/7//5
Changes are as follows:
1) Part throttle changes for smoother power delivery
2) Map 4 is now a valet map reducing boost by approximately 50% of stock
3) Map 0 is stock map with JB4 logging ability
4) Webasto and other auto warm systems triggering alarm whilst car is locked. This will also work for guys that have issues with dashcams left on over night that trigger the alarm.
With the valet working so well we working on boost per gear now to reduce the boost below stock or flash for guys that have stacked their units.

Thanks George. Just to confirm this is the file that ends in 7_TEST4.hex correct?

Correct.
Thanks George.
Being able to run stock (map 0) without removing anything but the obd plug is quite convenient, because one is able to use e.g. obd11, for real time monitoring.

Hi everybody, did the flash of the newest version go well? I had several failures when checking checksum. I started to panic because it said there is no firmware on it right now and it will cause several warning lights to go on. Then I went back to the previous version. And this also needed two trials.

I would say re download the file to make sure it wasn't a corrupted download, check your connection (if wired) or make sure there's no apps running that could be interfering with the process.
I didn't have any issues flashing the latest firmware.
I had no issues. Car seems to be running a little better. Check the file and update using a cable. Make sure ignition is on but engine is not running. Make sure the phone doesn't go to sleep while updating. Good luck!
For reference, the MD5 checksum for the file I downloaded (and is working fine) is 6f78da386ad9798d999690a865963bc2.

If you using the app make sure you not connected to media at the same time. Also helps to stand with the hood open closer to the Bluetooth module to get faster data transfer.
I need to use my OBDeleven to adjust my adaptive front-headlight system (AFS) after lowering. I'm assuming the FAQ I quoted above only refers to when the car is actually running. Do I need to do anything special if the car is going to be stationary while I adjust the headlights?
