    UK#3.826 (US$5.50) is a reasonable price.

    Update post for me, info transferred from another thread:-

    joecar
    Connect 1st PLX to AD1+ signal and AD1- ground.
    Connect 2nd PLX to AD2+ signal and AD2- ground.
    Log the pids EXT.AD1 and EXT.AD2.
    Select the calc pids CALC.AFR_PLX1/2 and CALC.BEN_PLX1/2.
    In FVS2 device settings, checkmark the box to always include External Analog Pids.

    Thanks Joe, think it worked out ok, although more fumbling than knowing what I'm doing

    I had to remove some odd pids that it did'nt like, maybe that's because I still have the HPtuners 2bar custom tune loaded,
    but at least I am slightly further forward. I can't see the BEN pids...are they to convert the voltage to the AFR ?
    I have boost via plx and fuel pressure via aeroforce 150psi sensor to set up next.

    joecar
    On the PIDs tab, look at the right-hand column, it is titled "Parameter", click on the title (the word "Parameter") to sort alphabetically on that column...
    then look down that column until you see the pids CALC.BEN_PLX1 and CALC.BEN_PLX2...
    the BEN pids are the correction multiplier, to see their definition do rightclick->More Info on each of them (on the PIDs tab).
    Summary: the AFR pids convert voltage to AFR; the BEN pids calculate the correction multiplier (to apply to your VE or MAF tables).

    Do I have to add these pids to the list ? if so I get error :-

    I don't remember from your other thread... do you have an LS1B or an E38...?

    Whenever you see a red X thru a pid on the PIDs tab, on that pid do rightclick->More Info to see why.

    I can see the error for the pids with red cross, some missing pids which I loaded in.

    The last one E38.AFRATIO_DMA won't display a error:-

    From the list of pids you show, remove these pids (keep the others):
    GM.ETCPED
    SAE.TP
    SAE.TP_B
    SAE.AAT
    (unless of course you're interested in these pids).

    and add these pids (in addition to what was kept):
    GM.ETCTP
    SAE.LAMBDA
    SAE.SHRTFT1
    SAE.SHRTFT2
    E38.APCYL
    E38.SCALEDCORVE_DMA
    E38.SCALEDUNVE_DMA
    GM.HO2S11
    GM.HO2S21
    GM.INJPWB1
    GM.INJPWB2
    GM.KNKRET

    also see if any of these log (additionally):
    GM.DYNAIR
    GM.DYNCYLAIR
    GM.KRCYL

    We want to see what tuning-meaningful pids your ECM can produce.

    Remember to save the list of pids (click the Save As button on the PIDs tab toolbar, give it a meaningful filename).
