Best Wideband??
Just to add to NJ1266
I have the LM1 also and mine lasted 3 years and then shorted out due to my fault. I was getting an error code after new sensor and cable. The buttons were missing, the analog out jack was broken and the screws holding the case together were missing. 3yrs later I call Innovate up and tell them what I need to do to get it fixed. All they say is ship it and well fix it no charge. So guess what, they fix it, give me new buttons, replace all the screws in the back, fix analog out and get it working like new again and then they paid shipping back to me. Now keep in mind this is 3+ years after me having it and believe me it is beat to death and I know it didnt have warranty. Plus if you are keeping it in your car permanent, you can buy any analog gauge and configure an output and just put the LM1 box in your glove compartment and when you need to datalog all you do is press the record button on the LM1 and it will record for you without a laptop. Now tell me how many wideband companies will fix your wideband for you after 3yrs and no reciept for free.

Also, remember, if your wideband is supported by EvoScan (now at $25), the inherent logging capabilities of the wideband don't matter at all, since you probably won't use it that way. Before EvoScan, I would say that this would be the single most important factor in choosing a wideband. Now that we have a lot of loggers to choose from, it doesn't make much difference.

Thx.
I dont think the test was in SCC, but I could be wrong. I though the test was in Turbo or another mag.
I dont have link to the test, but have seen the test posted up here somewhere.

Good to see that Innovate stands behind their products when some members on this forum simply assert that Innovate does not support their products w/o first hand experience.
