Would a newly delivered JB4 G5 require firmware?
As per title, I'm just wondering if a JB4 ordered directly from the USA will require updating prior to fitting?
I'm assuming they will be up to date but thought I would ask before installing. Cheers

Guess I should have bought the USB cable.

Was all set to fit it on Sat with a mate and I hate waiting when I've got car stuff to play with.
Can the cable be easily connected at a later date?

This is true. I had to remove the 3 bolts in the box to get enough space to pull the USB through. I highly suggest popping the diode loose and updating to ISO firmware!

no need to cut diodes anymore. everyboard sold is ISO now. Since late 2013 i believe have an email from BMS somewhere with the details.
