Ouch...hope everything turns out all right!
 
Which one would be best? Bluetooth or wifi? I can accommodate either one. If there isn't a performance difference, I'm thinking Bluetooth to avoid extra data usage.
 
You are only communicating from the MX to the tablet a couple of feet away. So data use is not a factor. Speed is important and the MX has proven to be one of the fastest so I think Bluetooth is the way to go. MX turns itself off when car activity stops...another big factor I think.

While you can get a MX to communicate over Wifi or Bluetooth I'm not sure if Torque will recognize the Wifi adapter...Bluetooth looks more like a serial port.

From a pure speed either should be more than adequate.  Bluetooth 3.0 is 24mbps and Wifi (depending on whether it is G or N) is capable of hundred of megabits per second.  However the CAN bus is only 500kbps so either technology is plenty fast enough.
 
Thx. As I try to order the Bluetooth model on scantool.net it keeps redirecting me to order the wifi version...next site here I come...

Any site you guys prefer? As I'm gonna purchase some aftermarket goods from ecopowerparts.com to support what happens here, I would buy from a site that's got good reviews from here to further SHO the family feel of owning a SHO
 
Gonna try cpu instead of phone then...getting excited!!!

By the way, is the fastest tune only SHO still the 12.669?
 
OBDLink MX is the best one, but it does cost $100 direct from Amazon.  I don't know if 4DR Mike has a line on any better deals.

BTW, was watching a couple of shows on House Hunters International.  Seems they have a good vet school out in St. Kitt's.  Maybe paying off those loans is just as much of a headache as med school!

Good luck with your pet.
 
Thx ...my better half racked up some nice school bills becoming a nurse, definitely paying off now...

Just ordered from scantool.net and am officially itching to get it going...

Yeah, I wish I could get awd to work also. I'm also uncomfortable with the knock gauge. It was active in the negatives my entire way to work when cruise was lightly accelerating on slight grades. It was actually pulling timing, not adding. I guess it could be pulling less timing though.
