Tuning on Mac
As being an apple only guy, do I have limited options available as far as tuning? I would love to have a color screen like the live wire or t1000 but It looks like neither is Mac compatible. Does this still hold true?

5.0hhh,
I ran in to this myself with using Ford dealer software installation guides and ODB2 scantool software on my mid 2011 iMac. The only way around two ways: Installing Windows via Bootcamp under utilities(Free) or buying software Parallels Desktop 9 retails for ($49.99). Parallels works pretty good runs on top of your OSX you set aside 50GB's of hard drive space for it in a file thats mainly a Virtual machine. There couple of viewing options you can run as full screen desktop or have it in coherence mode which pop up windows on top your OSX.
Hope this helps, Good luck!
