I wouldn't worry about that. Its a fun novelty at first, but it'll get real old lugging that laptop around with you.

That has nothing to do with it. You can interface into an ECU with a laptop. I've done it. A serial port is almost a must. you can try it via USB, but half the time it doesn't work.

You can NOT, however, tweak a Honda ECU (OBDII or later) this way. You simply can't write to the ECU. You can do it in other cars (ie - Mitsubishi).
