So i managed to get windows running on my mac, and access tuner running in my windows install - now i need to connect my ECU to my laptop.

which cable can i use to do this? Need OBDII -> USB ?

talked to cobb.

OBD II -> AP -> Computer..

this is likely to use the ELM chip. Which a phone or computer does not have.

but then i have to wonder how the ECUTek and opensource tools work? there must be an ELM chip in that tatronix cable?

How to simplify this task? I know that these cables can be hidden. Is this true?

The OBDII port is near the drivers left knee, behind the hood pull lever. I ended up purchasing two Bluetooth based dongles with ELM chips and tested various apps. While you could write back to the ECU over the air, I wouldn't trust it.

Best to get a hardwired tatrix cable and plug it into your laptop and use an opensource tuner like ROMRaider.

Tactrix interfaces don't use ELM, they use K-Line.
