Now that I have a Brenspeed X3 tuner, I was wondering if anyone has used SCT's LiveLink software and an X3 tuner to datalog their car's ecm?

Do you need to use the analog port to get the data or can you get the data from the OBII port? Plus, how can one save the tunes in the X3 to a PC for backup?

P.S. I got the Brenspeed tuner last night and this morning I put the 93 octane tune it. Unfortunately is is raining here so I have not been really able to check out the power difference with the new tune but the car is much more responsive. Hoping the roads will dry out later so I can experiment more with the tune.

WOW! I figured it out and it works great. I was able to monitor RPM, air temp, water temp and a million other things while the engine was running. I am using the FREE LiveLink software from SCT. This is so cool. If you have ever used Performance Logs in Windows XP, it is alot like that. I will attached a screen capture of the program running later. All the computer geeks out there with an SCT tuner should love this hardware/software!!!!

You go and download the software from SCT:

And then read this great tutoral:

Basicly, you download the software. You connect the USB cable from the tuner to your PC and the cable from the tuner to the OBDII port. The computer will recognize the USB port and the LiveLink software will talk to the car (the car key has to be in the ON posistion). Once that is done, you hit the CONFIGURE icon and select the parameters. That link above for the tutorial is very good, you won't have any problems assuming you have a PC and not a MAC.

P.S. Screenshot of the program in action:
