What's your tint percentage?

35% all around but with the sunshades down it looks like 20% at times. During the day it’s more visible especially since I have a light interior.

Looks great! I was looking to do 20% since I don't have sunshades.

Im having an issue, you might be able to help me. My jb4 plugs to the obd2 port and I have Bluetooth connection through my phone, but the app only shows boost and oil temp, the other gauges are dead.

Just passed 100k miles so knocked out an oil change, trans service (third time), spark plugs, ignition coils, and a diff oil change. Has been a solid daily for the last 4yrs and 75k miles.

Tractor got fresh oil also

That's odd if it was working prior and the gauges just stopped working out of nowhere, or is this a new install?

If it is a new install, is it a new or used unit?

New everything, Bluetooth working fine, I'm assuming there's an issue with the wire that connects to the obd2?

Could be the wiring, you should double check that for sure. Have you tried to update the firmware?

I'll grab Terry's email and send you a PM now. He is very responsive and he would know exactly what your issue is.

I have had JB4 for 3 years now and it's a excellent product, I have had almost zero issues with it, the only issues were on my end. I still use it everyday on top of my flash especially for my WMI control. So it's probably something simple to fix.

Had a chance today to install my front splitter and I do like the change to the look of the front end. My little present to myself is put to good use.

Thanks to fellow member @spielnicht for the good deal.

spielnicht · 01-03-2022, 07:26 AM

Looking great

Glad it found a good home and instant use.

G30 mirror retrofit

I ended up retrofitting a g20 mirror and that fit much better (albeit not perfect and had to change out the connector but no biggie)

Yes, the G30 bracket made the mirror sit really low and there was no way to fit the trim over it properly. I swapped the bracket from my old mirror over. Everything lined up perfectly. You do have to use a lot of force to yank it out and push back in. I disassembled the entire mirror when doing it to avoid any risk of cracking the new mirror

addy27 · 01-07-2022, 01:32 PM

Good to know, and kudos to you for attempting the full disassembly route. I found it easier to swap to the G20 or G01 mirror as their base is smaller and you can almost fit the trim over them, but you have to swap out the connector (10pin to 6 pin). That is not difficult at all to do but you have to buy the connector and then of course use pick tool to remove pins and swap over. Overall, I definitely love the look of the new mirror as well as the fact that I don't have to press and hold the garage door opener button anymore, just press button once and let it do its thing. (bear in mind this is only applicable to folks with Post 2013 F10s as the mirror bracket that attaches to the windshield changed significantly

Hoa · 01-07-2022, 03:36 PM

I had to unpin the connector in order to take off the bracket as well.

Yes! Homelink buttons should be like this from the beginning. Visibility at night is much better too

The G20 mirror is the completely frameless one, right?

Kind of unfortunate that the EU homelink won't work with the NA homelink, as these mirrors seem to be dirt cheap in the EU salvage yard scene.
