Jb4 Post pics of tapping into can wires

drf36/// · 08-02-2015, 03:07 AM

Was wondering if anyone figured a good and concealed way to tap into the can wires.

If anyone can post pics that would be appreciated.

Also what about the holes left in the wore after removing the tune. Any way to seal it to prevent damage to the open wire?

I think one of the mikes tapped in further up where there is the plastic shell, you can spread the shell a part then tap into it there, when you remove the jb4 the shell conceals the exposed wires.

Get the OBD2 adapter and the OBD2 firmware and be done. MUCH cleaner install, more reliable, reversible.

If I had to go JB4, I would go this route.

So does that mean we don't need to splice into the wires in the engine bay anymore and can do the JB tune directly through the ODB2 connection???

You still need to connects sensors in the engine bay but the can wires no longer need to be tapped and can be installed with the OBD harness into the OBD port.

You'll need to connect the jb4 wires to the wires that lead to the OBD2 connector you get from them. They will give you a couple wire nuts for it and you will need to strip a little more of the JB4 wires to make a better connection. It's really was though.
