What device options to program Multiplus II

Is MK3 to USB adapter the only option for programming Multiplus II 12/3000? Or is it possible with some GX device also?

It can be programmed with a gx device connected to the internet via VRM and remote veconfig. All settings with the exception of assistants and grid codes can also be accessed with the mk3 adapter and an otg adapter via victron connect on a mobile device.

How do you connect gx device to internet? Does it require a sim?

What setup do you plan to use that you have no GX device at all?

200Ah 12V Lifepo4 battery, Multiplus II, and MPPT 150/70. Trying to keep it easy and minimal, and as cheap as possible. But i'm only building the system now.

Completly offgrid?

Yes. I'll build even a wheeled box for it so it's somewhat portable. So also cutting all the size and weight possible.

I still need a shunt for battery monitoring and I have heard that MPPT could benefit from some gx device for optimizing the operation with battery. Other than optimized operation, I'll only need small onboard display for battery status. All the other fancy monitoring and settings stuff I would like to do on windows laptop and android phone.

I never read the manual ;) But it says that you need MK3 to USB adapter for multiplus setup, so that's that I guess.

Check the manual. There are settings made with the dip switches on the multi. These may be enough.
