People buying used JB4s
Just a heads up for everyone looking to buy used JB4s.
Burger will not help you with any issues alterations to the tune or look at your logs unless you buy the JB4 from them new.
My plan was to buy a used Jb1 and upgrade to a JB4 and burger said they would not help me if I had any issues.
Being as every car and climate is unique I figured the extra cost was worth it for me to buy direct.

Wanting second hand pricing and first hand service is a cheap move.

What if you buy a used car that has JB4 already? They no longer support because it changed hands?
I understand the reasoning behind this and am all about supporting smaller companies, but what if Mercedes no longer honored warranty because the car changed hands? Or other tuning companies like Cobb?

While we're only able to provide direct support and warranty to the orignal purchaser, those who purchase used can still take advantage of our MB support forum and receive indirect support that way. Generally speaking if you're new to tuning and expect to need some help, best to buy new. If you've been around the block and are already familiar with the JB4 or similar systems, then you can save a few bucks buying used.

I don't expect to need any help, but if I do, i'll head over to N54 tech.

IMO based on what I have read here if you go JB4 it is best to have the help of BMS to look at logs and suggest alterations to get the maximum benefit from the extra cost of the JB4

This is true and very few companies in any industry provide a transferable warranty on their products, why would they? If you buy it off someone, you are getting is second hand and you didn't buy from the company or authorized retailer, why should they offer customer support to you?

I was unaware of this. I will definitely be talking to them once I get the JB4 on.

I see. I had seen traffic where users had different numbered maps. I need to get smart on BMS. Plan on forking over the $27.99 for the app. Hope there aren't any issues running it on the networks here.
