From what I have seen on Google and other sites OBD 2 is the only software you can get for mac. Cant get OBD 1 software. Correct me if Im wrong though.

I do all my on site tuning with a macbook pro retina......... Boot Camped to windows. Best windows machine I have ever had.

I tried using a virtual machine but data logging suffered. I've had zero problems reading and writing tunes from the virtual machine.

Im sorry man but I don't know the lingo. What I got out of it was you have a mac but you have windows on it? Any links I could learn more about this? I apologize again just beginning at this.
Thanks

Mac has a hard drive partitioning software built in. Google BootCamp. It lets you split the hard drive and run mac on half and windows on half. So during boot up you choose what side you want to boot to.

The virtual machine is software you download for your mac that lets you run windows, through software, on you mac like an app. Google VMware fusion.

Personally bootcamp works the best.

Cool!! The only thing I hate about my MBP is the magnetic charging port. Its constantly full of metal and grinder dust.
