You can get a cheap Android smart phone with WiFi and use that. $20 on E-bay...

But the only time I use my HotWire is to set my turbo. Everything else is done with the buttons...
problem with phones is you have to jailbreak em to run as a non cell connected computers, would be awesome as a programing aid due to size, i was almost ready to buy a laptop, due to price, than i thought, thats just too much to be seen with... im not that serious, but i wanted to have full scope of options to tinker with...

its really just to change the bec voltage and play with timing curves as i have 3 cars running tekin stuff, the buttons have been fine to this point but i need access to what the buttons wont cover...
