More bells and whistles meant for those of us that are pushing the performance envelope with for example, high boost, upgraded turbos, and nitrous. More inputs, outputs, and fully isolated boost control. The board architecture will be quite different from the G4 AFAIK. IMO, 90% of users will be happy with the G4 and will not need the Pro.

Do we need to have proof of purchase? I bought it through AR Design and I can't seem to find the receipt.

Awesome news and the same question as others, will this be for 08+ only or do I get to enjoy it in my 07?

Great to know that more tuners will integrate CAN communications. This is inevitable in order to maintain competition, I believe. And we (customers) will benefit from it

As I understand the alpha is already shipping to a select few.
When will the rest of us be able to get our hands on it?

Yes, thats only for the Can Tool as it uses the OBD port and the JB4 plugs into the ECU. Will be compatible with all years as before

We sent out around 25 so far We're in the alpha process and BMS has a long list of alpha testers ready to go as we expand it.

Is the code clearing comprehensive enough to eliminate the need for a BT tool?

Yes!

As far as the question about the timeline I'll have to defer to BMS who has an update thread going on their forum. I'll post relevant info here as I get it from them.

Sweat beans!! I just placed my order online for the package deal with the cable and filters... but it hasnt shipped yet and I haven't been charged yet, should I just let the order take place or should I call and delay so I can get the JB4....or is it gonna take a million years to release and I should kill time by enjoying the JB3 for now?

Ok, so I just want to make sure I understand. I have an 07, so I will be able to get the JB4 when its available. But based on what the website says, it says that the CAN tool will not work for 07's yet but there will be future support coming soon. I also see a BT basic for clearing codes for 07 ad up. So I am confused on what I will need and what will be available. Can you clarify my noobness?

CT does not work with 2007. JB4 and BT both do. Hope that clears it up.

lol I can only imagine what happened here

Mike, I think you mentioned that you drive with it now, right?

Is it just smoother than the JB3 with a better power curve, or is it also expected to make more peak power? I'm just curious, because you're pretty much already up there on that dyno thread... any chance for even more?
