There are some workarounds however. Use old version or change country code on the new jb4 android app.

...and this.

I had a JB4 Stage 2, and whilst it did auto-delete my CEL, it caused too many other issues for me to keep it installed so it's been pulled for now. I'd get a flash tune, but honestly, at the $1300 price for about an additional 38-40 hp, that's just a no brainer service I refuse to pay.

If it were available, for features and options, I'd get a BM3, but sadly that's not an option for my model.

The CEL light doesn't bother me in the least.

It works great on 2012-2013-2014 cars but anything 2015 and up it will not work. Tried it already. And are a 74 customer service is horrible so who knows if I?ll ever be available.

Does the VRSF cattless dp fix trick the ECU into thinking there is a CAT? If so it should allow the car to enter readiness state for emissions testing. Can someone confirm?

The same product allowed my car to pass O2 emissions on my cat-less downpiped e92 335i. Can confirm.

On my n54, it was 4 wires that plugged into the dme. So most likely the dme also. caveat is the n55 dme is under the intake manifold. On the n54 it was to the left of the engine
