    Angry LM-2 getting worse

    I just got off the Phone again with Innovative Motorsports and they are no HELP at all...
    I swear I have to do a free-air-calibration every day now!!! It freezes with every 5-10 minutes of use...

    Default I now have 3 LM2s.... and they all SUCK!

    I now have 3 LM2s.... and they all SUCK!

    3rd unit sucks right out of the box.

    Yeah, had my attorney call Innovate the other day....

    After that, I spoke with the controller of the company and after bitching to him, he offered me $500. if I returned my innovate stuff to him.

    I was like..."...$500. for $2,000 worth of equipment?!?!?!?!?!?"

    Pretty classy company! Their line is always..."..Well Chuck, this is the first time of hearing about problems with our LM2..."

    BULLSHIT! It's very clear that more than 1 tuner is having problems with their LM2.

    I'm gonna purchase 2 new Tech Edge widebands this week....If they work without problems, Innovate is gonna get a surprise visit...he he.

    $2k buys you a brand new ECM AFM1000 along with a handful of replacement sensors that would probably last you several years...

    I know...I know.... One thing I remembered is that you seem to like the analog inputs and I've had nothing but trouble with them.

    After all the agonizing problems with the analog inputs I don't think I'll ever use anything but the serial inputs.

    Also, I need to have 2 or 3 widebands cause I always have multiple jobs going on and can't be moving the tool from car to car and re-calibrating for different sensors.

    If these units do the job, I'll buy more. I've talked to many users who are quite happy with them and have spoke to many people unhappy with the innovate stuff.

    Hopefully this stuff passes the test as I'm not a casual user and if they're not up to the job, I'll find out soon enough!

    Chuck, it looks like they have another model that has RS-232 communications, the AFM-1500.

    It seems ECM have two serial-comms-able models, AFM1500 and FA1500, they appear to be the same thing with different labels (specs are the same).

    I asked Paul if V2 can support that.

    If they publish the data stream specs (which I am sure they would) then we can easily add support for any make.

    I have been using the LM1 for the past 2 years... not many issues whatsoever. I did have the problem if the power connector being broken off on one of my units, that made me do a tantra and practically DESTROY the unit against the floor.

    It still works after soldering the power connector...

    Still.. I am getting a few spikes lately that I am unsure if it's the LM1 or it's the V2. I guess i need more testing.
