- Transmission learning table reset, learning pause, resume, and module reset worked great on Navigator with OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth. Connectivity was easy but if you encounter any issues you should kill the app using the swipe from bottom iPhone app feature

- I purchased the OBDLink adaptor so I could use this software to bleed my brakes. The example screens show this option. The option does not show up on the service screens. If you don't support this I would like a refund. That is the only reason I bought the adapter and software.
