Default Superchips?

So I know from the few other threads about tuning the transmission they're are 2 super chips models that seem good for our Dakota. I'm wondering if anyone uses or knows more about the vivid linq because I'd like the use that and my phone being the tech junky I am. Seems like or can so the same things as the other flashpaq? I'm mainly looking to liven up the tranny.

Thanks

I don't think anyone here is using the Vivid tuner. Save yourself $200 and simply get a SC 3865.

I didn't realize that the vivid linq interface was available yet, I thought the vivid paq was the only option.
You'd be the first here to try it though, not a bad price either.

Be careful. You can get the Vivid in a minimalistic way, where you get just the bluetooth adapter for your OBD II port and then you're supposed to use an Android phone with the Vivid software on it to connect. Then there's the whole package, with an iPod look-a-like device and everything you need, which is more expensive.

I just got my 3865 barely used for $225 on eBay two weeks ago.
