Can you not do the standalone scanning? I understand it would be nice if the scanner worked over bluetooth, but also understand the latency etc./slowness with bluetooth could cause issues. If you can use the standalone scanning functionality, you don't need any cables hooked up at all--just scan while out driving and start and stop scanning either manually or automatically via triggers and when you get back home, hook up the device to your laptop and download the logs.
