    Why not? Just install a wireless PCI adapter, but you are still at the mercy of extension cord with the desktop PC on a cart and long USB cable running through the car window, but it should be possible.Kinda like using a Counselor 2 instead of a Vantage Pro to scope

      If you can get it close enough to the vehicle so the J2534 tool will plug in and you have the correct software in it.

        USB length limitations ;


        16 feet 5 inches



        The USB specification limits the length of a cable between full speed (or high speed) devices to 5 meters (16 feet 5 inches) and for low speed devices the limit is 3 meters (9 feet 10 inches).
