What did you do to your 5 series today?

New pod installed tonight, looks pretty good. Installed 3-way OBD2 splitter so I can run pod & JB4 at the same time.

Nothing so far, I would think it would only be with reading data because that's all it's doing from the OBD to my knowledge. But I'll be sure to report back if anything does become an issue. Waiting for my wheels and tires to get here before I push it so it may be a few days before I can really push it.

As far as I understand the OBD system on our cars: you'll only have issues if you have multiple devices trying to WRITE to the car. OBD goes through a CAN bus and by design they can only handle one instructions at a time. If you're reading from it though, it doesn't give a shit how many things are listening.

that's cool, i was running two obd meters, one of the meters was showing 1 sec lag of data, then after that i added JB4 and my tuner advised me against using splitter with JB4, that's why i took out the splitter and left JB4 only...

that's what i thought so too, however i was running two obd meters, one showed lag and sometimes will hang, then i have to plug out and plug in again then it will work... not sure was it because of the quality of the meter or something, i took out both meters after i installed JB4...

I have not had any issues to this point but I have not been pushing it still. Everything seems to match up pretty well, car tach to pod tach, JB4 boost to pod boost, everything is pretty spot on with no lag or latency. But this pod is pretty sweet, I would recommend it to all.

Sounds like a device problem, not an OBD problem.

The car definitely drives a bit different, powerband feels more linear? I was planning on going ps2 turbo, but I had a long drive through NJ on 287 and damn I really don't think I need any more power lol

These cars really shine on the highway at 100+ !

The only thing is the noise, it was cool at first, but there is added noise other than the cool turbo noises.
