Ooh...idk about android

There are mobile versions of Forscan. But I don't think they can write to the computer.

Got a friend and a cell phone? One person with the PC and the other in the truck.

There are Wi-Fi adapters. But several folks reported it not working correctly.

I use a USB. Or you can buy a Bluetooth to give your PC Bluetooth

The best option is Bluetooth adapter with a Windows laptop any other combination of devices will either give you problems or have limitations.

Or, for $16 you can use the USB like I use.

The only problem is having a wire from the truck to the laptop. But you have to be in/near the truck for BT, so it's not that big of a deal to me.

I just returned an MX wifi for the BT version as it hardly works with Forscan.
This bluetooth adapter is under $14...

I've heard the wifi ones aren't as reliable especially if
you are going to keep it plugged in for data logging. They disconnect often I believe

Will the audio shop be able to activate the sub? Or does this kicker not need to be activated?
