Default DD DSI-2 and IPAD

Is anyone using the DD DSI-2 and using an IPAD to do their tuning?

I downloaded the DSI-2 app to my IPAD

I've got my DSI-2 hooked up to my IPAD via the PC control output on the DSI-2 to my IPAD - but I can't seem to make any changes to the system.

Any input is appreciated.

I think iPad control is only through BT. Have to have the dongle for that.

That is my fear - I might see if I can get a cheap PC laptop on CL before doing BT route

Get a cheap PC. My experience with the BT has not been the best. It's okay but the PC interface is way better.

I only use the BT for on the fly shix and it's a nice feature but the core tuning is best on the PC.
But I do know a few credible shops that use the BT and IPhone for all their tuning shix thus it can be done.

I just received a message from Shane at DD - yes, BT is the only way to run on OSI - Apple iPad or Iphone
I just asked him if I get an inexpensive PC laptop - if there are any minimum requirements it needs on its platform to run the DSI-2 - awaiting his reply as that is what I think I may do

I must admit for my aging eyes I love looking at a large widescreen monitor (or in this case two) to do my tuning. I guess it depends on where you keep your bike. I keep mine in the basement and have a regular desktop PC with two large monitors connected to it. I got a durable 15' long USB cord that I use for tuning my DSP and ECM.

I forgot to mention I also prefer a full size keyboard with a mouse when possible.
