I personally like it, but I'm not sure if it connects to evoscan as I don't tune my own car at this point.

 

That's what i use in all my cars, the INNOVATE XD-16. Loving it!

 

get a zeitronix if you don't want to waste hours trying to figure out why your innovate wideband doesn't read right, calibrate correctly, or connect to your laptop.

Zeitronix FTW.

 

I debated the same fact and decided to go with a AEM UEGO. I use one in my other car, and it has been great to me for 3 race seasons. Same will go for the X.

 

I have had the NGK AGX Unit in my VIII for ages now man that thing is reliable. Pinned directly to my ECU gotta love it

 

why does it some with a serial port almost all laptops less than 4 years don't even have that stupid port

 

I've been asking the same question. Does any wideband come with a direct USB laptop plug-in cable? I couldn't find any.

I'm planning on getting a wideband myself next month. Zeitronix is at the top my list. I mainly want it for data logging, so my question is this: is a gauge/display worth the additional money?

 

I agree, its about time they made it USB!

 

even though the keyspan adapter works its a pain with more cable besides I bet there are more people forced to use the adapter than have serial ports....USB guys come on

 

FWIW, I have an UEGO and use a serial/USB adapter to log. There's a tutorial illustrating the wiring options.

 

+2343 on that!

 

It boils down to reliability. USB is a home office spec communication protocol with only 3.3V signal levels. Serial is +- 12V so it's really 24V peak to peak. Automotive electrical environment is very noisy and USB is a bad choice. Did you ever wonder why your USB printer cable is only 6 feet long? Because of USB low level signal. Yes, most laptops are sold for home or office use. There are still laptops available with a real serial port. Also, a good USB serial adapter with short or no cable on the USB side works very well. USB-serial cables with long USB side (RadioSack one) are flaky. Serial protocol is very reliable and a good choice for industrial and automotive use.

 

I have an Innovate DB99 Wideband and love it personally, got the red version and it matches the interior almost perfectly

 

Zeitronix FTW! If you get all the accessories you have a really bad *** set up. It even has its own logging software.

 

Been to Innovate's office a while back when my buddy had to replace a faulty lc-1, and got a brand new one after they tested it out, interesting place (small office), they do other things besides wideband (non automotive related)
