Must be used with PLX M-Series Wideband controller so add anothor $499. I wish it was only $144. So in the end, about the same price as the AEM.

You can get the M250 for $299 and with the gauge it's $438, but no logging. Same with AEM though.

Why not? Are you always going to be using a laptop/in-car-PC?

Even with the e01 display/logging, I'd want the pillar pod with RED/YELLOW/GREEN color and digital numbers for quick reference.

Preference...I guess.

i already have the m500 so it'd just be an additional 144 for me.

Can you describe what you like and don't like about the system ESPECIALLY the logging.

I'm between this and the zeintronix, but this gauge and the logging are my hold ups.

Any advice?

Good news. Just got off the phone with Paul at PLX, an engineer there. The input is a simple linear voltage/af:
0v=10afr
5v=20afr

So if you have an Innovate LM1 or anything else with custom outputs, just set it as above and you're done. I may pick one of these up.

Yes, that's the reason I like it over AEM. It says this on the website.

I'm in the same boat. Zeintronix seems like the best bang for the bucks. But the wireless datalogging plus better looking software and gauge on the M500. It's a tough choice.

the software is pretty simple. i've not had a chance to use it too much but from what i've seen so far, i have no complaints about it.

what i like on the wireless setup is that if you have it at a dyno and they won't let you dyno it yourself, you can keep tabs of everything with your laptop outside of the car. its just an idea i had when i was setting everything up.

mtcook - Good point~!

Redmax - Yeah, you do with the 500 or 300, however I still like the idea of having the different colored LEDs flashing if something starts going wrong. I've used my laptop for OBD scanning, while driving and all I really can pay attention too is the analog needle portion of the gauge. The digital display isn't really useful IMO, except for tuning or casual glancing. I wanted BOTH digital and analog, but the AEM was the only one to offer it until now with no logging and an non-linear output.
