Yep the update is out and ready i sent them my SD card so they can download it on it and then i can update the control box then its good to go.

 

your kidding?? They couldnt post the update on their site for us to d/load??

Thats crazy..

 

I called their Tech department and he said he was going to email me the update.. I will post it as soon as I get it

 

File posted below
Here is someosted in a few days.. extra info..

This firmware will be revision 4 and will flash the record light 4 times on start up.
To load this onto the remote, you need to:
1) save the FW0118_1.rff file to an SD card
2) with power OFF, insert the SD card into the remote
3) hold down the record button
4) turn power ON to the Nexus system
5) the record light will be solid green while the firmware is being loaded

After loading new remote firmware (FW0118_1.rff ) the open, close and demo files will be erased.
These files are also attached and will have to be reloaded.
This is done by copying the files to the SD card and holding the DEMO button down while turning power on.

The open, close, demo files attached are named with their firmware numbers.
If you would like to change the file names to open, close, etc, feel free to do so. However, the file extension (.ocf, .ccf, .dmf) cannot be changed.

Hi Ken,

Thanks alot for spreading the word on the new firmware for our Nexus Widebands. Make sure to let everyone know that if they have any questions they should give us a call on our tech support line 815.899.0801 for assistance. Other than that, I hope you enjoy your gauges.

Regards,
Steve

 

Thanks Ken! I can't wait to get mine.

 

Thanks for posting it! I wonder why they didn't just post it on their website...

 

Yea thats what I was wondering too.. The guy I talked to said that whomever called him regarding the flash, he would just email it to them.. Figured I would post it up here so peeps can find it IF they search for it..

 

So the NEXUS Wideband will work off the UTEC correct? If so, how do you connect it?

 

Has anyone tried the OBDII type?

 

What would be the point? There's no OEM sensors for MAP, oil temp, EGT, etc.

 

For the people getting the Nexus Wideband, Please do you know if it matches the OEM Amber Lights, so does it change colors like the other gauges or it has a fixed Red LED ? also does it work just like them as it will go totally blank while the car is off ? ..... thanks in advance.

 

I havent installed mine yet but it looks the same as the other gauges its total black with no power as for the color changing idk i aint got it hooked up yet. If anyone has pics of it hooked up and working that would be sweet to see.

 

Thanks for your reply man guess what ? i saw a vid for it ITS GREAT !!!! even with only Red Digits its still great

Here is the link for the video.

Nice vid thanks..

What I am wondering is where do you plug the wideband guage into the control center??

 

When i called Autometer they told me to plug it into the aux temperature spot on the control center i hope this helps you out. I cant wait to get mine but im just waiting on my APS TT kit to come in.

 

Can you post the file again?

 

Yea If its ok, i'll post it tomorrow when I get to work.. The file is in my email at work, I dont have it here at home..

Ok, Ken got me the file, and I got everything wired up, and it works great.

Here's how you do it:

1st, most of the autometer Nexus gauges, the sensor in the engine bay runs to the sensor module, and plugs into that. The actual gauges themselves plug into the network plug on the sensor module, and are strung together in series.

The A/F gauge is not like that!

The cable that comes from the engine bay has three plugs: 1-a male 4 wire small white plug 2- a female 4 wire small white plug 3- a male 6 wire black plug

Plug 1 plugs into the sensor module, in the NETWORK spot.

Plug 2 is where you plug the next gauge in the series in, with it's network cable.

Plug 3 plugs into the back of the gauge.

Additionally, there is a red and black wire; they need to be wired to a switched +12v and a ground, respectively. These send power to the seneor in the exhaust to heat it up. Why they couldn't have just used the smae power that the sensor module is wired to, I don't know, but thats the way it is.

As for the firmware flash, it's exactly as the instructions say, and it's really easy.

Finally, I don't actually have the sensor tapped into my exhaust yet, so I don't know how accurate the sensor or gauge actually are, but the gauge works like it should.

Right on Dave thanks for the write-up

Ok, here's a couple of pics of the wideband A/F gauge installed. It also includes my fuel pressure gauge, and my CarPC screen. The three pics are the same, just with different flash settings. It's hard to get it right with my PoS camera.
