LC-2: Digital Wideband, anyone try it out?

Ok, stickied and added to Cellected stuff thread.

Using the serial cable that came with the LC-2, are you able to talk to the LC-2 using Innovate's application software (LogWorks/LMProgrammer)...?

Is the Inovate Logworks software needed when connecting serial to the V2?

No I can't, I cut the DB9 serial plug off so I can connect it with that cable to the V2

Wouldn't this eliminate the option to update firmware if needed?

No you dont need innovate log works to hook up serial to V2.

Thanks, about to purchase one of these and jump into tuning.

The DB9 cable that comes with the LC-2 does not need to be modified. All I had to do was swap 2 wires on the LC-2 plug. Logworks still works fine. One thing I haven't confirmed is if the free air cal from the V2 actually works on the LC-2 or if it will need to be done in logworks. I know it definitely worked on the LC-1.

No it is not needed...

but I use it as a sanity check to verify that the Innovate product is able to communicate and is not DOA.

Free Air Cal should be able to be done form V2.

Received a LC-2. Decided to ohm out the unmolested cables with null modem.

Haven't hooked it up to test yet but this is how it laid out.

Note Black and Blue are common.



Pic is a modified one that I found here.

Would like to try and find the 4 wire connector that Innovate uses to make up a custom length cable without a DB9 or null modem.

Plug had HRB written on it so did some searching.

Found P3025-2x2-B-H to be the part number.

Chinese part that could only be bought in bulk so did some more searching. Came up with this.

Molex receptacle 43025 and 43030 terminal.

Mouser has these. p# 43025-0400 receptacle and 43030-0012 terminal.

Looking to make a short wip to a RJ12 surface mount plug p# 32-2036 to mount next to OBDII port.

Then use a couple of these to make a custom length cable. p# 5-555042-3

Good job on the parts research
