Don't thank me; I got more out of the USAF than it ever got from me. Instead, this Memorial Day set a Missing Man place at your table, and talk to your family about why you're doing it. The people we can no longer thank are the ones who deserve it the most.
The media needs to educate the public the delta between Memorial Day and Veterans Day with the same vigor they educate about Pronouns and Woke.

Some people are very concerned about the risk of a bluetooth disconnect during programming, but I've never had an issue with an OBDLink MX+ and making changes. I also generally restart my PC from fresh, close unneeded programs, and run FORScan alone to minimize the chance of any stability issues.

If one wanted to go hardwired (due to bluetooth reliability concerns, value for the dollar, etc.) the OBDLink EX is an easy choice. Updated firmware, genuine ELM327 chip, much faster speeds than the knockoffs (although you may need to set in forscan to ramp up the negotiated speeds), no need to use a switch between MS-CAN and regular OBDII diagnostics like the cheap ones. Easily worth the money.

I would note that while prices of everything have gone up in the last few years, there are sales on these. In general, it doesn't dip below $50 (except one occasion in 2021), so if you need it, it's not something that generally goes on deep discount, just get it.
