Does anyone use an OBD II splitter so they can have a scanner and tuner connected simultaneously?I am scouring the web about it and some people say it wont work and other say there's no problem. I would like to have a set up to where the scanner (droid tablet with torque) is hard mounted in the car and the HPtuners interface is also mounted so I can plug in the laptop on the go.At $10 I dont see much risk in just trying it out but I wanted to see if any of you guys have any experience.Thank ya!

TunerCat OBD2 Tuner is a software package that allows tuning of 96-current GM vehicles. For some early 96-97 vehicles, it is often the only solution. TunerCat OBD2 Tuner must be purchased with our RoadRunner hardware (either with a complete RoadRunner ECM or just a RoadRunner Guts kit) due to licensing restrictions.

Even though the scan information coming from the PCM is 'broadcast' it's still serial-clocked data and two different devices aren't going to be able to work simultaneously. I have my aeroforce gauges pretty much hard-wired in but I can use dhp/hpt without issues as long as I have the gauges powered off.
I've accidentally tried doing a pcm write with dhp a couple times forgetting to shut off the scan gauges and basically it'll either try to do it and go ridiculously slow or it'll give me an error and fail.
