Eventually I'd like to upgrade to the powerlogger setup w/ wideband that shows up on the scanmaster. Right now this setup is out of my price range. I would like to get the wideband hooked up now though because I found a guy to tune my car soon. I was wondering if there are any wideband kits with out a gauge that I can use my laptop to display the wideband readings. Basically, piece by piece, eventually have the powerlogger, wideband setup with the scanmaster. Can the plx-afr kit be setup with out a gauge to display on the laptop? Thanks, Tim
wideband ?

I don't have any places to put another gauge. I want to use my laptop to display the readings. Is this possible? I will not be buying the powerlogger at this point. To better clarify, I was told the innovate lc-1 comes with it's own logging software. This is the direction I want to go until I have the $$ to get the powerlogger and have the wideband display show up on my scanmaster. Thanks, Tim

1) The basic LC-1 kit ($199) includes the LC-1, sensor, cd which includes software and manuals, bung, and a serial cable to connect to the PC.
Doesn't mention anything about needing a datalogger to go with this. Am I missing something? This sounds like what I'm looking for. Anyone use their software? Sounds to me like no gauge needed and plugs right into PC. I'm assuming it will plug into my laptop too. Thanks, Tim

Shoot TurboBuRick, Turbo Dave, or Turbo Bob a pm about it. They may have used it. Yes, you can log with that one without the Powerlogger.
tford, I don't know if this will help you any but....
I read you say you want to tune your car, but you won't be getting the powerlogger anytime soon and you claim to not have anywhere else to mount a wideband gauge...
This is what I started off with....it's a PLX M-300 tuner. I found mine on eBay for $260. (they vary from $260-$300 +) It's basically the wideband plus the gauge all in one box. You can mount it on top of your dash or if you want to be creative, you can purchase a tach mount from GNS performance (like I did) and mount it so it sits to the right of the instrument panel surround sort of in front of the central a/c vents.
Below are pics of how I did mine. I had this set up like this and used it to help tune the car, before I purchased a powerlogger. I ended up relocating the PLX M300 under the dash as it now simply is used to feed the powerlogger my wideband readings which now come thru on my Scanmaster.
So basically I bought this to help tune my car and used it until i got my powerlogger, then reused it again after I installed my powerlogger.

I just bought my Innovate LC-1 wideband on ebay here: Innovate LC1 LC-1 Wideband + DB Gauge Kit O2 BLUE 3795 - eBay (item 300521311197 end time Mar-02-11 15:25:13 PST)
Cost me $160.95 shipped. It does come with the gauge. The same seller sells the kit without the gauge as well, I think for about $140. I spent the extra just to have the gauge though, as it is handy.
