serial wideband

[articSS]

i am getting rid of my fjo unit so i can log with the serial port on the v2. heres the question, whats the best unit (accuracy) and whats the easiest to set up.lol. help me out guys which wideband should i buy?

If you get an LC-1 you can then get a ready made LC-1 serial cable from TAQuickness.

[articSS]

sounds like thats the route im going

[TAQuickness]

I'm using a dual channel LM-2. A bit overkill if all you want is WB data, but it supports other vehicles as well. Prior to that, I ran a dual LC-1 setup.

Send me a PM and let me know what you want for that FJO unit.

OK GUYS
I JUST GOT SET UP WITH A V2, AND AN LC1. BUILT A BENCH BREAKOUT POWER SUPPLY, RE-PROGRAMMED A ROAD RUNNER (GREAT ITEM), HOOKED UP THE NEW LC1 DID THE SET-UP PRE HEAT AND FREE AIR CAL. ON THE LC-1 HOOKED UP THE NICE FANCY LC1 SERIAL TO V2 CABLE > PULLED UP BOTH THE efi LIVE AND ta QUICKNESS; WIDE BAND SERIAL TUTORIALS AND GOT STOPPED DEAD AT STEP 5. MY ONE MONTH OLD V2 DOESN'T HAVE AN: F1 'SETUP SCREEN UNDER THE F4 OPTIONS. >UNDER THE OPTIONS SCREEN ARE THE FOLLOWING: F1- LICENSING, F2 MEMORY CARD, F3 SECURITY, F4 SELF TESTS. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SETUP OPTION? WHAT AM I MISSING?? DID SOMEONE FORGET TO UPDATE THE TUTORIALS TO MATCH A CHANGE IN THE V2 SCREENS??? HELP CAN'T FIND THE "SET MENU ON THE V 2??

it sounds like something is way wrong if you get options like you posted.
what is the bootblock and firmware you have installed?
F4>F1>F1

Got the v 2 from craig moates with the road runner. Don't have it available right now , but do remember an april 08 sofware date coming up on the console screen (f6) of the scan tool software on the pc where it gives status of the cable. Do i need to upgrade the boot block and firmware of the (v2)cable?? Or is there somewhere else in the v 2 options i can get to "settings" (f4>f1>f1 per the tutorials) in the v2 to confgure the wide band? Thanks mike

You will need to download the V7.5 and V8 software from here (two downloads):
http://www.efilive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=124


Then:
1. install V7.5 from the above downloads;
2. install V8 from the above downloads;
3. Start->All Programs->EFILive->V7.5->Tools->Check For New Update and follow the prompts, wait for it to finish updating;
4. Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->Tools->Check For New Update and follow the prompts, wait for it to finish updating;

Then: read and understand the attached document (serveral times) before upgrading your V2 bootblock/firmware...

the upgrade involves many steps, but is easy if you understand the document.

Failure to understand the document may cause you various headaches.

Kinda had a feeling that was the case, but the tutorials didn't specify firmware revision, although I see the Efi wideband serial tutorial was revised in September 08 Thanks much for the input. I had been intending to update the v2 cable, but felt a little more experience would help. I had read the info last month and you confirmed it>>> PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
THANKS

If you follow that doc exactly step by step, then you will be fine (a little tedious, but fine). :cheers:
