Default Greddy Informeter?

Has anyone tried out the Greddy Informeter, its looks like a very sweet gadget that reads alot of parameters...

Communicates with the factory ECU to read up to 25 Channels Like: Speedometer, RPM, Water Temp, Ignition Timing, Injector Rate, Intake Air Temp, Fuel Temp, Air Flow Voltage, Intake Manifold Press, 02 Sensor Voltage, A/F, Battery Voltage, Throttle Position, WGV, ATF Temp, EGR Temp, Gear Position, 4WD Ratio, Exhaust Temp.

Or so they say, anyone tried it or seen it? Thanks.
Im tempted myself...

I have read a number of write ups on it and it looks like an awesome gauge. I have been tempted to get one but I am also tempted to know if it works with our ECU.

I wonder if it can be recalibrated for A/F ratio or if it goes out of calibration after 1000 miles like the AEM supposedly does.

I have it. Works well. It will not do anything a/f related except read the stock sensor.

Dumb question because I know I have seen it before but what is ratio range on the stock 02 sensors?

I just got it last week. Its a neat little toy. I mainly wanted it for coolant temps, the rest is just a bonus.

Does it need wideband sensors?

No, because it is not a WBO2 controller, and it does not read WBO2 signals. You need a WBO2 system, separately, to read WBO2 info. There is no cheap way to read WBO2. You've got to suck it up and fork over the dough if you want WBO2.

Yup. On the sixfold monitor I have mph, tach, coolant temp, intake temp, batt voltage, and ignition timing shown.

Wow!
So basically the A/F is the only thing that does not work with this unit?

Does this measure air temperature (manifold)?

That is awesome! I will be getting one very soon as the Air temperature could be extremely useful for some of the research I am looking to do regarding heat in the intake tract!
