Hopefully I can also use them on my new Haltech Elites when i get around to replacing the ls1 ecu's. Feeding in can data would saving me some analog inputs.

Quick update for those waiting on this.
Initial testing with the re-flashed AEM 30-0333 and the new beta FlashScan v8 shows everything to be working, as designed. I was able to record several logs with the OBDII lambda data. Recorded data matches the gauge display to 0.001 lambda at the maximum sample rate.
If you would like to try, you will need the new beta EFILive software ( ver 8.2.3.305 ) and a re-flashed AEM 30-0333 wideband ( fw ver 1.13 ). I will be doing the re-flashes for the widebands, during the beta test period.

I sent you a pm the other week Mike. I would like to get a few more kits, so can either buy and get shipped to you or if you have good hook up price will paypay you direct.
I wouldn't mind sending you my existing 3 controllers to get updated also.
Great to hear! Do we just need to ship you the gauge to get reflashed or does anything else need to be included?
I'm sure you did, but did you try datalogging with an ECM connected as well? Or is that what you want us as beta testers to focus on?
I have successfully (as far as I can test on a bench) logged both an E38 and the AEM. But a real-world, in-car test would be good.Quote:

I'm new to all of this and looking to buy a wideband, if I purchase the AEM 30-0333, when the FCV2 software is updated to suit, will it just be a matter of plug and play or will the AEM need to be modified.
Does anyone have a recommendation of where to buy from? I am in Australia but it seems most of this gear comes out of the States.
I was looking at the AEM 30-0300 from Bellenger until I came across this thread.
I will be using the wideband and FCV2 with an LS3 powered VFII Commodore.
I' m not sure, but I think you may be able to plug it into the OBD2 port, dr.mike can correct me...
so if you're doing engine dyno tuning (i.e. ECM is out of vehicle) you will have to do something about connecting the CAN lan/bus.
[QUOTE=joecar;232666you will have to do something about connecting the CAN lan/bus.[/QUOTE]
The AEM comes with a "piggy back/pass-through" OBDII connector. So you can plug the AEM into the OBDII port, then plug FlashScan into the back of the AEM OBDII connector. It's very well done (in my opinion) and extremely easy to use.
I can't tell you about which AEM/firmware combinations are compatible, Mike should be able to chime in on that.

Hi all.
The 30-0333 firmware that is currently shipping does not have the mods that I made for the EFILive logging. I'm sure it will be updated, once the testing is complete. So, for now, the WBs will have to be sent in for re-flashing to work with FlashScan.
While either the 30-0300 or 30-0333 can be flashed with the new code, the 30-0333 is preferred because it includes the OBDII pass-thu connector cable. The 30-0300 would need to have its CAN lines wired into the OBDII connector.
Thanks for response guys.
Dr.mike, are you employed by AEM? The reason I ask is that perhaps you could post when the 30-0333 has the new firmware so anyone needing one can purchase once it has been updated.
I really like the idea of piggybacking the FCV2 and the AEM into the OBDII connector, nice and easy.
I have my 30-0333 setup already in my TBSS, it works really slick. Installed the sensor in my exhaust, tapped a switched power and ground, plugged sensor cable into gauge, plugged power cable into gauge, plugged OBDII pass-through into OBDII port and off to the races.
Thanks for confirming the existing 30-0333 units will need an update, please let me know how/when I can send mine in to you.
Post some close up pics...
OK. Looks like the beta software is available now. So, I can start doing the re-flashes of the new 30-0333 firmware.
I am trying to get the AEM guys to take over the process. But, I will probably do the first few units, myself.
Anyone who wants to give it a try can send me a PM to arrange having your WB re-flashed.
I sent you a pm the other week mike. I can send you 2 screen controllers i've got already. But i'd like to purchase 3 more anyway.
Let me see if I can work out something with the AEM guys for multiple units.
OK. I talked to the AEM guys. They are doing qualification on the EFILive firmware mods now.
They decided to bump the part number from 30-0333 to 30-0334 to differentiate the EFILive compatible units from those currently in production. I will post when that becomes an orderable part number. Those with existing 30-0333s can PM me to arrange reflashing to 30-0334 firmware ( there is no other difference )
Thanks a lot Mike for your help
we all appreciate it
waiting for the order link
So at this stage only the (30-0334) controller kit with display gauge attached will have compatible EFIlive firmware, not the fundamental X-series 30-0310 inline controller that is standalone?
Seems redundant having to buy / hide a display gauge with the FSV2 display and logging capability is all, makes sense to enable firmware in the base model (more affordable and effective) inline product first ie "30-0314"?
Sounds good to me, I'll hold off ordering another -0333 unit until the -0334 units are available. I'll need my existing one reflashed, I'll PM you about it. :)Quote:

Not yet. testing is ongoing.
You can send your 30-0333 unit in for re-flashing, if you want to try now.
well i got my 3 here i need to send in somewhere but i want the serial protocol speed changed too. can you see if they will do that as standard in the new ones too?
Go ahead and send those in to me. I can set the serial data-rate to 25Hz.
I will see if I can get the AEM guys to adopt that rate for these new units as well. Shouldn't be too hard, as the serial data pins are not even populated on the OBDII units.
Can you pm me your address. It'll be coming from AUS so it might take a week or 2 to get to you.
Considering how utterly shit out postal service is.
Sent.
The serial pins aren't populated on the OBDII unit wiring harness, my current one doesnt have the pins. But, are they actually there on the gauge and can be used?
So you need a different cable...?
Yes. The 30-0333 gauges have the full serial and 0-5v functionality. Even though the cable/connector pins are not installed. You can order the pins from digikey.
The pinouts are in the 30-0333 instructions.
ok thanks
( I'm doing E38 and LS1B tuning, so I'm going to being using CAN bus and serial comms )
The analog output on the new AEM gauges is, actually, very good. It has ground offset compensation and it updates 500 times per second; while having pretty low noise content.
It is probably preferable to using the serial data, if you can.
Fantastic, I was curious as to where to get the extra pins!Quote:

These are the pins.
Any updates for 30-0334 version ?
I have not heard anything, lately. I am assuming they are all busy prepping for the SEMA show.
Any updates from AEM ?
It's a bit difficult to communicate at this time of year ( right between SEMA and PRI ). But, they were looking at it when I talked to them last.
I am still waiting on some data from the beta testers, to finalize the changes, here.
Martin @ CPR Engines is eager to try this out (located in Gardena, close to AEM's Hawthorne office, 13 minutes in LA traffic)...
we'll patiently wait :)
edit: corrected the spelling of Gardena.
mikes got 4 units on the way to me at the moment, so I'll be playing around with the new can & serial data speeds.
right!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvO2Urchn3c they used my car for this flic... dont like HPT for tune edit...
Maybe I will roll up that way for a Bonello's pizza :)Quote:
