XHP flash with JB4 on (whoops)

Hey guys,

Yesterday I went and did a MHD BEF on my car and updated my stage 3 XHP transmission tune to the recent version. Like an idiot I did the backend flash first and it worked great, and I then put the JB4 on Map 2 after. Without thinking I went and updated the transmission tune to the latest firmware, and I left the jb4 on Map 2 while it was flashing.

The xhp update worked flawlessly too without problems, and when I turned the car on the car went from being on Map 2 before the xhp flash to being on Map 0. I've since turned it back to Map 2 and driven it for about 40 miles and everything seems fine, but wanted to know if I could've possibly screwed something up with leaving the car on Map 2

It's a JB4 safety feature, switches to map 0 when you plug something into the OBD.

So the JB4 saved my butt. Thank you for clarifying

Must be something in the newer firmware.

The older versions do not do this.

I ran into this when I tried applying my xhp flash after forgetting to switch to map 0 first.

The initial backup failed.

I updated my jb4 to the latest firmware two weeks before I updated the trans flash and did the BEF. That alone was worth it.

I figured it couldn't be that bad if xhp allowed me to flash in the first place. I figured if the jb4 was stealing the signal from the obd2 it wouldn't have let me update the trans flash

Hey OP I'm looking to run JB4 w/ MHD BEF along with xHP. Are you having any issues running all 3 together? Or what are the benefits of having all 3?

No detriment running all 3. There's a lot to be said about each one. I started with the jb4 cause I liked the map switching and the gauge hijacking personally. That was fun, then I added the xhp tune and it honestly was the best modification for the car yet. It's something you feel every time you drive. I just recently added the MHD backend flash to kind of tie up some loose ends and to make the car run a bit smoother. MHD can monitor many more parameters and adjust more tables so even the throttle response is different now
