Default EFI Live Users opinions on Serial vs Analog Wideband logging

I am looking at getting a new Wideband. The ground offset issues and BEN inconsistancies are just pissing me off. I am on V1 currently and I am planning on upgrading to V2 and a new WB... I have done some reading on the EFI Live forum I was just wanting to hear some of yalls opinions on the upgrade. Did the BENs line up alot better and more consistant?

Thanks

Corey

Will be using serial data later this week when my new LC1 arrives. My old one is busted and my PLX M-300 doesn't have serial output.
But based on what I've seen with voltage offsets, I can already state with confidence that serial data will be significantly more reliable than any wideband's analog output.

Cool, yep I was looking at either the LC1 or PLX. My AEM WB is a pile of junk...

I got to try the serial connection for 1 day before my truck broke again. It was cool...no worries at all about ground offsets That's definitely the way to go if you can do it.

I just bought a LC-1 for a truck to truck tuning WB so I didn't have to take the Tech Edge out of my truck all the time. I'll be doing some testing with it pretty soon!

Good deal, since your a sponser and sell EFI Live products can you PM me a price to upgrade my V1 cable to V2, the purchase date was 3-2-2005...

So you need to have V2 to use serial connection WB? You can't use the serial connection on your laptop and have software get the data from there?

No, because the serial data is read into the EFILive logging software through the V2 unit itself.
