Where's the best place to get a replacement wideband O2 sensor for the PLX SM-AFR module. Is it possible to get one at a local parts house or does it have a proprietary connector on it. After Googlin, found Bosch #17014. Will this one work right out of the box?

As long it has the right plug it will work , plug and play on PLX .That number looks like it will work by the picture .
True, but they use different connectors. I believe PLX has two connector designs.
I guess it depends when I Made the switch to from innovate to plx I just plugged up to the existing wb02 sensor since I had just changed it

I bought the Bosch sensor #17014 and the connector is different than what I have. The Bosch #17205 is what I've got, it has a square connector vs. the "D" shaped connector of the #17014. And, of course, it costs $113.00 (#17205) vs. $50.00 (#17014). Here's a link to an array of wide-band sensor #'s: http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/tuning/25491-part-numbers-replacement-wideband-o2-sensors.html

That is cheaper...I had a coupon for advance, got it for $90 tax and all....not too bad....wanna put it in in the morning. Wish Amazon sold Gas....LOL
I was just browsing some sites because I think I need one now also. 17205 is the right one with the square connector. PLX no longer supports it so local sourcing is the only way to get one. $112, yikes!! Even worse than that is the Denso equivalent with a part number of 234-5002, and they cost around $125. I guess because these part numbers cross to Cadillac for the most part is why they're so pricey.
Wish somebody knew of a cheaper alternative. Attached is a picture of the earlier model that PLX sold (to most of us) with the square connector referenced in my previous paragraph.

Couldn't you change the connector to the newer style. Just extract the pins and swap them over. Id call and ask them if it would work. I'm talking the car harness side
I suppose that's possible, assuming one could figure out and find the correct extraction tool.

AEM uses that square plug also, might cross it over to a cheaper source
