Nvm I just bought OBDLink MX+ and a random yellow adapter.. I hope it works.

 

That would work, thats what I have and use. Dont need any other adapters for engine or transmission with the MX+.

 

Not for the transmission or engine computers with the MX+ It did require it for the BCM though.

 

Alfa OBD would tell you if a certain adapter is required to connect to a certain module.

 

@midisturbed1 thank you for the input!

 

I have an OBDLink EX cable (not BT) so guessing the BT version will connect without issue.

Only word of caution is that Multiecuscan, Forscan and similar software don't recommend doing programming or calibration via BT.

No idea on the likelihood of the BT connection getting interrupted midstream or all the ramifications but always possible.

Anyway, just a heads up in case you weren't aware. Would really suck to brick something if it can be avoided.

 

Seriously? Damn 🥲

 

The cable plugs into a USB port so if you don't have that I suppose you have to go the BT route.

For what it's worth if I was in your shoes the course of action I'd take would depend on what you are trying to do. If the transmission is acting up probably no harm in trying a calibration - probably not going to do anything to make it worse.

If the calibration is just to try to optimize it, I wouldn't do it either with the cable or BT. Simply because if it's not broken why tempt fate by messing with it.

Just my dos pesos.

Good luck whatever path you take.
