JB4 with Bluetooth

Simple question for those that have it, but worth it?

Getting ready to buy a JB4 in the next few weeks, and trying to figure this out as I'm watching the YouTube vid of how it works.

I was debating it, there is a lot of support for it through this guy, not a terrible idea and great functionality to monitor boost etc...

WE sell a lot of the Bluetooth modules now and the feedback has been phenomenal. Great combo with the JB4.

Been using my rev2 version for 1.5 yrs plus. Love it. Not had the need to bring a laptop anywhere near the car, everything done via app on phone connected to jb4 via BT.

After I get my tint done, this is next on the list for me. Just figuring out the JB4 options and which downpipe to go with it. Wish I had a EWG the more I'm reading. lol

I actually like the fact that they keep standard features to a minimum so they can offer the tune at the lowest possible price then they give the user the choice to pick any extra add-on he needs

I had an option to either use the usb data cable, and/or the OBDII. Decided the bluetooth connection was much more worth it, and I do not regret getting it. Just makes everything so convinient, changing maps, logging, and updating firmware.
