I've been wanting to do some more datalogging on my Dyno Spectrum DS1 in my 2013 Audi S7, but dread taking my brick of a mobile workstation (Dell Precision 7530) in and out of the car everytime I want to record logs. I would prefer something small and lightweight that can be left in the car, even charged in the car. The Dyno Spectrum DS1 is an awesome little device that connects to the OBD port. It reflashes the ECU on supported Audi platforms (at the time of writing the 4.0T V8s including C7 S6/S7/RS6/RS7 and D4 A8/S8 platforms). This reflash adds tons of new tricks like live tuning, ethanol blending, really fast datalogging (~159 parameters recorded at over 100 times a second!), and more.
