Man!! Talk about a run on sentence lol, I would check and make sure you have the JB4 plugs plug into the right tap point. The fact that you say it runs rough I would start there, also check what map it’s on.

What map are you on? Do you have the bluetooth for it? I had a lot of problems with my second hand one too so I'm sure I can help

..... and you blindly plugged it into your car without a cable or bluetooth to run the JB4 control app? ...... wtf did you expect?

Unfortunately, it sounds like you may have been taken for a ride. Get ahold of Terry and crew at Burger motorsports support@burgertuning.com and let them know your issues. Make sure it was specific for your model/engine so you are good to go there. You may be buying a new setup since yours sounds like it was treated poorly and sold a polished turd. Good luck!

The 2020 model runs a different firmware than a 2019 would.

​​​​​​https://www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28003

​​​​​​Firmware:

Note firmware is for JB4 systems only (with OBDII plug installed) and not for Stage1 systems. Loading JB4 firmware to Stage1 systems will render them inoperable at best requiring you to panic email us for Stage1 firmware, and at worst requiring you to remove the tuner and send the Stage1 control board in to be reflashed.

SENT firmware is for 2019+ C300 systems where firmware version ends in //7 indicating a SENT based system.

C_2020 firmware is for 2020+ C400/C450/C43 models which has a special CANbus system relative to previous models.

JB4_MB_C_6:

1) Changed VALET mode to map8, map4 is now between map3 and map5 boost levels.
2) Increased sensor sampling rate for smoother performance.

JB4_MB_C_4:

1) Added support for optional BCM (Boost Control Module)

JB4_MB_C_3:

1) Fixed firmware bug preventing fuel pressure (green) connection from working properly. First generation harnesses (that have an unused purple connection) still must relocate the green wire in pin #20 to pin #4 using a DSUB removal tool. Note this connection remains optional and is only suggested for those running heavy E85 mixtures and high boost levels. Reference photo here: https://www.n54tech.com/forums/attac...1&d=1539975810
2) Adjusted boost scaling for colder climates, should targeting during colder weather. Note, the ECU is LOAD based so the factory boost target will be lower during colder weather than warmer weather. The difference between boost and ECU_PSI should roughly equal the requested boost over stock target.
3) Added fuel trim monitoring in bank2, to go along with the existing AFR monitoring in bank2. Useful for troubleshooting fueling problems.

Not a C43 owner here, but somewhat familiar with JB4. You need to load your JB4 with the JB4_MB_C_6 code and overwrite the C-2020 coding. You need a bluetooth module and JB4 app or a PC linked serial cable to do so.
