I think that you are ahead of most of us, including me, in understanding this, and I don't know the answer to your specific question; maybe an expert like @MartyE will weigh in.  You do highlight a problem that I think may have been lost in the news about the discontinuation of CAB2, which is how someone just getting into Legacy will deal with sourcing a control. Not an issue for me as I have one and a backup I will not give up at any price, but the transition to a new method of control without a dedicated remote won't be seamless.

It is my understanding that the new App w/ Cab3 and Bluetooth for those engines will replace the current LC App.  From what Dave and Ryan have said, the LC Bluetooth portion of the App will still be a free download.  To get the Cab3 portion you either pay an additional $29 or buy a Base3 and get a code for an included download.

I suspect the new App will be available when Base3 is released or a little earlier.

Remember Cab1Ls are still being produced and compatible with Base3.
