So my truck won't be here for a while yet, but will this software allow making all the adjustments through the mobile Android version just like it does on a laptop?

You have to have the software running on a windows laptop connected to the OBDII connector via bluetooth. You cannot write changes with the mobile versions but you can monitor PIDs with them.

Talking

Today, well yesterday at time of this post.... I Received my OBDII MX Bluetooth dongle from scan tools and it's very much worth the $70 knowing your getting the rite adapter that works. ALso, for anyone using MacBook Pro, you CAN USE this option and get full features with proper extended License via forscan.org. Make note although others have clarified they've used forscan on MacBook Pro via Bootcamp. I can now verify myself that Using PARALLELS with Macs .....wahoo!!! Lights on brights WITH fogs and ByeBye Honk Honk thanks to all you fellas that helped to make this happen

What module are you all using to change the as-built data, I am looking at changing some things like turning on the fog lights as DRL, Force Regen on, hyper flash off, tpms off, outside temperature on in the productivity screen, and possible add down hill assist on, I have looked at the veepeak
Amazon Amazon
, but is there a better one to choose?

If it works you still will not be able to write using IOS. You have to use Windows and a bluetooth ODB II. I have tried a few and some ODB II work faster than others the best i've used is the ODBlink MX.
