I'm on my 2nd LC1 and the analog outputs don't work and i'm through with it. Besides that it can be "touchy" at times. Which brands of widebands do people have the best luck with and in particular interfacing it with HP Tuners?

 

im using an lm1 with hp tuners, havent had any problems as of yet( knock on wood)

 

sorry to hijack but i was thinking of buying the lm1, is it really necessary to have a wideband, i dont have anything besides boltons yet. im just trying to save a couple hundred dollars for the time being.

 

i dont see a need if you dont tune yourself or you dont have FI

 

nah iv got hptuners on the way lol guess i shoulda added that part in

 

yea a wideband is needed to tune your self otherwise is ignorant ( tuning blind) IMO

back on topic

 

I use a PLX SM-AFR to tune with, plug and play operation, no calibration, used it on about 3 different vehicles so far and I love it.

 

+1. I replaced the crap LC1 with this PLX unit couple months ago. Aside from some annoying gauge (DM5) blips its working great.

 

What annoying "blips", did a bit of reading on their site and it looks nice. And damn cheap too.

 

I can't vouch for the gauge altough I was tempted to get it too, I just got the wideband kit itself and monitor with my EFILive scan tool.
