Great, because that's exactly what I bought. Would much rather save the $62 and NOT have bluetooth in a use once-or-twice tool.

As long as you don't want to run the iPhone or Android phone app, sure.

​​​​​​I did the same thing. I bought the $18 VINT one for baking changes and a $5 wifi one if I want to monitor. I honestly never monitor anything and the $18 one does everything the $80 MX one does otherwise.

sorry to reboot old thread. But do you have a link to the one your making forscan changes with. And you have no problem with it right?
