I'm not sure what the question is, but I've got the same thing minus the touch screen & it reads my afr. I'd assume the other features of the touch screen would have to wired in.

From what I can tell by what you've asked, it's what you're looking for. People on here swear by AEM and Innovate, but I'd rather stick with PLX.

We tested my plx WB on my last dyno session, and it was dead on to the 1k plus wideband he was using.

Lol I'm saying my under 300 dollar plx was dead on point for point to his 1000 dollar plus wideband he was using.

I like it,and after testing it I like it even more.

I can't vouch for the PLX, seems you all are having good luck with it. I'm looking for a WB now, I had the Innovate LC-1 in the past, but it gave me problems. It worked and got the job done, but almost always it would give me errors and not read and I'd have to re-start the vehicle. I know AndyC3's does this as well from time to time so it's not an isolated issue. From what I've read, the AEM wideband is the most accurate of all the common low cost ones.

Innovate's customer service is great and they'll replace their units with no questions asked, but replacing widebands time after time is no fun. Some have better luck than others, but I'm just going by what I've faced. Try a PLX or an AEM, preferably PLX if you want to put down a little more cash. Accurate and reliable, and worth it in my opinion. I'm a fan.
