Available from JB4ConnectKit.com here.

Domestic shipping: $12
International shipping: $63.50. I only ship via USPS Priority Express due to the included tracking/insurance.

App purchases only valid for the device family they were purchased on. For example, if you buy the iOS app and decide to switch to Android later, you will need to purchase the app on that platform.

*How To Connect:
iOS - Requires my JB4 Connect Kit. Note that most newer iOS devices support Bluetooth Low Energy, but use this link to double check. iOS device List

Android - Can connect with an OTG cable or my JB4 Connect Kit. Note that not all Android devices are either OTG compatible or Bluetooth Low Energy compatible. It is up to you, the user, to find out if your device supports either OTG or Bluetooth Low Energy. Android users using my JB4 Connect Kit must realize that the Android Bluetooth Low Energy implementation is still not up to par with iOS's. Due to this, Android users may need to restart their device to be able to connect to my kit. This is not a problem with my kit, but rather an issue with Android's Bluetooth 4.0 implementation. Hopefully they will pay more attention to Bluetooth 4.0 in the near future.

Here are a couple installation photos for non-N54 vehicles including E series N55 and all F series. The power wire connects to the 5v power wire within the JB4 harness.

It can be done on the outside of the enclosure or if you prefer inside the enclosure.

I'd be keen

Will we be able to perform logs and save them via this interface ?

Yep. Right now I'm still in the very early stages, but I do have successful logging of the data from the JB4 to the mac app (should be fairly straightforward for the iPhone once I get my wireless adapters in).

I will be trying these $20 wireless adapters I found on eBay as well when they arrive in a week-ish. So maybe this would be a cost effective option.

Options for the serial iPhone connection: TTL iPhone cable or Wifi serial adapter

The wifi option would allow for the use of the charger so I'm leaning more towards that.

I have the serial communication all worked out now. (finally)

I figure for the iPhone interface 3 gauges would be about all you could fit on the screen and make it look nice.

Do you all have any interest in this?

I would, especially if one of the gauges can read our Oil Temps on our 5 series

Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress

nguyenvn · 10-11-2013, 06:34 PM

Keep up the great work Dmac! Let me know if you need a beta tester for the Mac app.

DV135i · 10-11-2013, 06:36 PM

Definitely interested in this!!!! I'm tired of VMware slowing down my macbook pro!!!!! ugh

I find that my windows jb4 VM runs nearly as fast as it would on bare metal. Are you running out of memory / swapping?
