...which requires you buying and installing the Bluetooth add on, which in turn requires you cracking open the JB4 box and splicing a wire which increases the price and install time/complexity of the JB4. Otherwise if you buy the JB4 without the Bluetooth add on, you need to buy a BMS data cable and have a windows laptop.

Don't get me wrong, I think the JB4 is still the best option around at the moment, it's just the other options are simpler when it comes to installing as I mentioned in my post above. Just trying to give the OP a good break-down of what's available.
