I contacted Felipe at Innovate and got a response back on how much it would cost to fix a broken LC-1 and he said $45 to fix it. Not bad at all, I'm going to give it a shot and see how it goes. The LC-1 is a good unit. The one I have actually is a used unit that I bought from a friend. So I'm the second owner of it. If all fails, plx it is.
Got a shipping notification from Innovate but there were no details on the repair. So I contacted them again inquiring if their sending the unit back because it could not be fixed or sending it back because it's fixed. Felipe said they sent me a new unit! I was surprised to hear that! I mean, my LC-1 is way out of warranty but they decided to sent me a new one anyway.
Got the wideband back today bench tested it and it works! the only thing I'm concerned about is that the unit has 6 wires instead of 7 wires? -Red(12v) -Blue(heater grnd) -White(system grnd) -Yellow(analog 1) -Brown(analog 2) -Black(calibration wire -what happened to the green wire? My previous wiring for power and ground (7wires on LC1) -Red--12v fuse box -Blue--battery negative -White&Green---ecu D21(sensor grnd) .5inch apart Should I put the blue and white on D21? since now I only have one system ground, the wideband signal ground should be tied to the O2 signal ground.
i've this LC1 set up too solder a wire on Blue and white wires and solder it on your D21 ground and use your serial protocol for dataloggin with no offset issues regardsjames25 wrote:Got the wideband back today bench tested it and it works! the only thing I'm concerned about is that the unit has 6 wires instead of 7 wires? -Red(12v) -Blue(heater grnd) -White(system grnd) -Yellow(analog 1) -Brown(analog 2) -Black(calibration wire -what happened to the green wire?

I love my PLX M300. I've used the LC-1 (a couple of them actually), the AEM and FJO. I'd put the innovate at the bottom of my favorites list. The software didnt have the serial logging when I had the innovate so i never go to use that. The PLX has never left me stranded, is easy to set up and is easy to use and didn't break the bank....but I think they've discontinued the M300.

PLX is my favourite WB. I am using it more than 5 years. I loved R-500 unit, but once on some customer's car i connect it wrong to the battery and fried it (he had his negative wire colored in red ( ) Now i am using M-300 unit which is also very good, but i am missing extra features like egt and knock hearing. Now i am waiting for R-800 which should be out long time ago. Simplicity, self calibration and ultra easy connection are the pros i love, compared to innovate.

Go with PLX, only reason why I'm still using the LC-1 is because Innovate replaced it for free.danny wrote:well my AEM dead on me this pass weekend...the C16 i was using...probably killed it...it won't read under 14...i'll see if AEM will warranty it for me...if not..im going with a PLX or the LC1....
