Unhappy Jb4 bluetooth not connecting

Hi everyone,

Installed the jb4 and rev 3 kit today. I have the version with the power and ground wires. I believe i installed everything correctly. Connected tmap, map, obd 2, power and ground for rev kit.

Car runs, but the app won't connect to the vehicle. When i tap "connect" on the app, it says "no ble devices found."

Change the kit revision to rev 3 under the settings tab. That should solve the problem.

couple things: make sure your engine type is F - Series all, connection type Rev 3, and if you're on Android restart your phone.Something about the Android's low power Bluetooth causes connection problems

I probably should have said that i chose "f - all series" and "rev 3" as well. Restarted my iphone 6s multiple times as well. No go...

damn. check to see if the jb4 connect is still secure to the jb4 board. May have came loose during install.

Thanks for your help everyone! Much appreciated
