Can JB3 be left in while reprogramming car at dealer?

domsaywha · 02-19-2011, 05:12 PM

Going in tomorrow for a hpfp recall and reprogramming. Can I leave JB3 installed on the car while getting reprogramming?

pwrdbynel · 02-19-2011, 05:13 PM

I left mine on and everything went fine. But its always a good idea not too leave it on.

The JB3 won't cause any issues with the BMW hookup, but for those who leave it on most set it to map0 so the car drives stock.

I flashed Giac with jb3 on map 0 no issues.

domsaywha · 02-19-2011, 10:20 PM

If I set it to map 0, then turn off the car, then turn on the car again, wouldnt it start at map 3?

By the way, how do i set it to map 0?...

if you like your warranty I would remove it Why take a chance?? Its like sex without a condom why take chances??

Takes all of 15 mins from hood open to hood close, why chance it if you have warranty??

If you leave it in you are just careless.

I left mine in, they did wastegates/injectors/plugs etc.
No problems.

bigdog34uz · 02-25-2011, 10:58 AM

I tried to take it out but I could not get one of the clips on the ECU off. It was pissing me off. I was not trying to break it either.
