As some of you know that if you have a JB4 on your N54/N55/N20/N26/S55 , you can also have a JB4 APP ($27.99) on your Android or iPhone that does a bunch of awesome stuff. No longer do you need a laptop to update the firmware and to log and you can have gauges that show u very useful information.
Since i have an iPhone i needed a special bluetooth adapter (over $100) that is always sold out. So i kept waiting for the adapter.to be availabe. That never happened.
BUT if you have an Android all you need is an OTG ($10) to use the JB4 APP.
Bonus: also if you have an Android device, you can download the MHD Flasher APP, which you can use to upload a BackEnd flash. The APP itself is free but the BackEnd costs $79 thru the in-app purchase. All you need is a K+DCAN cable ($25) and the OTG cable that works with the JB4 APP.
I haven't done the BackEnd Flash yet. But i will upgrade the firmware in the JB4 first, then do some logs (i want to see if everything is doing alright) and then finally i am hoping to do an MHD E85 BackEnd Flash.
So i recommend getting a cheapy 7in Android tablet, i got mine from Amazon for $59.99 along with the K+DCAN cable. The OTG cable i got on eBay, pretty sure you can use Amazon to get an OTG cable. just search for it. I will include the links for the Tablet and the K+DCAN cable, as people seem to have problems with finding a cheap cable that
works.

The picture of both of the cables connected together and into an Android phone but the phone is too weak to work the MHD app, didnt try it with the JB4 app.
