for the jb+ install: open the hood, close all doors and lock the car via key fob for ~20 min (let the car go into sleep mode). If you don't want to wait you can just unhook the negative terminal of the battery in the trunk....

***install instruction of the jb+ can also be found @ http://www.burgertuning.com/support.html



loosen two hose clamps that connect two hoses/air ducts to the air box, if you are facing the engine, there will be one to the lower right, just right to the air snorkel...





the other is just above the air box, closer to the front wind shield




next, there are three rubber plugs (grey/silver) just to the right that are connecting some wire loom to the air hose you just loosened...pulls those up (towards the sky)



Disconnect this hose that just above the snorkel (3 parts). Squeeze the plastic ring and pull up to disconnect the left part of the hose (left red circle). Just pull the hose from the tab on the (middle red circle). Push the hose down to disconnect from the 3rd/last attachment (right red circle)





Retract the snorkel from the air box, it takes a little effort, but it will come disconnected..just pull towards you/back...just pull enough to get the snorkel to disconnect...





now all you have to do is pull the air box straight up, it will take a little effort as these 2 rubber plugs (I removed the air box cover in the pic below to show you what I am talking about) are the only things that should be giving you resistance (along with a little from the two air hoses/ducts you loosened the clamps for initially



now the TMAP sensor should be easily seen and accessible...plug the jb+ in and enjoy...


***when you are reconnecting the air box, the snorkel should be the first thing you line up (followed by those 2 rubber stoppers I showed with the air box cover off), I lined it up last and it was pretty hard to maneuver the snorkel to hook up to the air box again. Just reconnect and tighten everything else and you should be good to go....

Gene

Gene,

how was it that you used the BT? how does it work? i've heard of it, but it looks kinda confusing...

Gene

luckily I do not need one, I have pre 29.2 SW, so tuner detection is not on my e60. I have had my car scanned tho just in case, when they were finishing the beta testing of the JB+ (I was a beta tester). Yours being a 2009 will for sure have tuner detection. The BT plugs into the OBD port in the lower left panel on the driver side, the other end of the cable plugs into a lap top. The program that comes with the BT cable allows you to scan your car for tuner codes and delete as needed from your laptop.
