Noob bootmod3 question

Can I use the wireless OBD device (veepeak) to flash or is the OBD to ethernet dongle necessary?

Veepak (and a few others) to flash when using bimmercode.
Not sure about Carly though. I use bimmercode.

I tried using the wireless adapter that I used for BimmerLink and it didn't work.

I would love to have access to 3 that I can think of...

1) stock
2) the OTS for 93 octane (I would presumably use this for the track)
3) a tune that's more like the N55 M2 where it has more low-end power (I would prefer this for the street and spirited driving where I won't be red-lining, but would still love that head-sucking back feeling)
For bootmod3 you need obd to Ethernet cable. Weather or not you're going to connect to laptop or use the wireless raspberry pi. To add if you opt to the raspberry pi device you will need a mobile hotspot in order for the unit to talk to the servers.

The unit needs a usb power supply (can connect to car to power)

When you pay for one bootmod3 license it comes with 1 free tune. There are a couple of stage zero for free but upgraded ones need to be purchased. You can get all the tunes for the platform for an additional 100$.
