Thanks for the review. Seems like a real nifty tool.

1) Do you find it easy to navigate and almost point-and-click-like to use the program?
2) Is it just the cable and the CD in the $400 package?
3) Do you need to have the program loaded and laptop plugged in for it to record data, or can you do a run, plug in, and download later?

I am definitely interested in this because instead of getting one wideband at the y-pipe, I can just get two for $400. Pretty good deal.

Now my question is, how precise can you datalog AFR? Would it be reasonable to datalog AFR and then use the plot to help tune my EU?

Or hell, datalog AFR simultaneously while datalogging other stuff with EU... then use excel or something to make some comparisons and appropriate adjustments?

Man this thing is so cool I might just buy it for ***** and giggles...

We're currently testing the accuracy of the wide bands using an Innovate Motorsoprts LM-1. I actually just started on it last night. The sensors SHOULD be accurate for tuning, but I’ll have more data in the next couple of days.
I'll post some results in the next few days along w/ a calibrated conversion table for anyone that would like to update the default table in Cipher.

Bert, would you recomend this even after having the UTEC/WB setup, or just for those that have no type of EMU at all?

Honestly for those with UTEC's you have everything you really want to monitor there IMO. It would mainly benefit you from being able to check/clear CELS and datalog other features your UTEC cant-its really up to you to decide.
