autocal

When Autocal is plugged into obd2 port and is hooked up to laptop, is there a way to have gauges work on laptop?

Use wifi or bluetooth elm odb2 module (amazon) and Torque or other similar app for that.
There are numerous threads here with active links to everything your looking for.

Its best to use a tablet or smart phone in a proper mount. Laptops tend to go flying around.

I heard about that, I was just messing with my Autocal today and saw a program that brought up a set of gauges but I couldn't get them to work

Anyone recommend which Bluetooth obd2 module I should use, and which app?

I have that one, seems to work fine (though I don't use it often). I use it with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque

Yes, you can set it up by following the scan cable instructions.

Jenna, I sent payment yesterday for tune. But I'm having issues get the data I logged off autocal? When I hook autocal to computer and open efi explorer, I go to scan file and nothing is in there? I've logged data twice, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

If you don't see a timer on the autocal, then it isn't logging.

Also, when done logging, you have to hit the "prev" button until it says "exit", then press "ok".

K all good now. Data all logged over weekend. Everything sent in to BBP. Just waiting for the tune to come back and wake this avalanche up!!!
