Hey guys, newbie here so try not to hate on me, is the bin found on the back of the back of the ecm on the white tags? If so which ones the numbers on mine are as follows: 86yfxl913303et4p and 12587672

Neither!
You will need to read to do a "Read" of the PCM to get the .bin - the numbers you posted are just service numbers.

I have a second question would I be able to use a USB OBDII connector or does it have to be a Bluetooth connector for LS droid and tuner pro

I have used USB connections with my OBDXPro VT as well as Bluetooth for reading and flashing. I do recommend using a bench harness over trying to do it in the vehicle.

Does the obdxpro vt come with a cable or is it another adapter if it’s different where did you buy it and what is it’s name, I have made a bench harness to use thanks for all of your help

No it does not come with a cable. The port on the VT is a USB micro like the old Samsung phones use.
It can be used USB or Bluetooth.
Unfortunately due to chip shortages I do not it believe any will be available for several months.
Some are using another device for USB , something Nanos!
Maybe one of the regulars will check in on that.

Yes, I'm using the "VX Diag VCX Nano USB device" with PCM Hammer. Works great but you need to load the "Pass Thru" app on the disk to enable PCM Hammer to activate it as a J2534 device. Once that's done, the two connect at a speed four times faster than anything Bluetooth can muster.

I got mine from Ebay for right at $100 but I see the price has gone up somewhat and I picked the blue-gray USB wired version to stay away from Bluetooth on Windows. I'm OK with Bluetooth on my Android phone and Kindle tablet that I also use for tuning but me, Windows and Bluetooth can't seem to get along.

The "J2534 Pass Thru" thing is on the disk that comes with the Nano and without that app being loaded, PCM Hammer can't recognize the Nano. The Nano will only be select-able within PCM Hammer if you do this.
