**Yes, my thread finally got stickied. :) **
I decided to start working on a Mac app to communicate with my 135i's JB4 piggyback tuner. The JB4 allows you control boost levels, air/fuel ratios, etc.
With the Mac interface complete, I've begun work on the iPhone version. The iPhone will communicate with the JB4 over Bluetooth Low Energy using the BLE Mini.
Caveats:
The BLE Mini firmware comes stock with 57600 baud rate. The JB4 uses a baud rate of 9600. Luckily I was able to find a 9600 bps version of the firmware as compiling my own would be a mess with TI's licensing programs.
Here is the post I made on N54Tech.com about the project. The overall feedback seems to be pretty good so far.
iPhone Teaser 11/04/2013:
Finally got the serial communication worked out for iPhone. Just a demo of interfacing with the JB4 over bluetooth. :)
Yes the final version will be much prettier, this is just a proof of concept.
Releases:
Mac JB4 Beta Release 1.0.4:
Features disabled for now:
Changing Maps

Everything else should be good to go.
Notes:
I've only been able to test this on my 135i N54 with the G5 ISO.
You may need to enable non-signed applications on your mac. To do this,
Open System Preferences->Security & Privacy->General->Allow Apps downloaded from "Anywhere"
*Stop and display will only appear if the JB4 is currently logging.
