Innovate and Dashdaq

Sent Scottyb this PM and realized I may have just submitted it to the forum since others may be curious. I thought a simple gauge would be nice, but then thought that I wouldn't be able to watch it all of the time. Data recording would be really nice if an issue arose.

"I hope you can answer some questions. I saw your center gauge write-up and found that you have a DashDAQ and an Innovate LC-1. I have a BWR supercharger and want to monitor AFR with a wideband O2 sensor, and just in case, record the values as well as other system vitals that may be available through the ODBII port. DashDAQ and the LC-1 looked to be the trick and I wanted to know your opinion about the combination.

I called innovate motorsports and saw they have a DashDAQ + LC-1 bundle for $699. Which is a better priced combo than I've seen anywhere. Here's the link. Innovate Motor Sports On-Line Store
Apparently you just weld the bung, run the cable, and plug it in directly.

I am curious about how you ran the cable. Center tunnel or along the side? I believe I would like to mount the system under or beside the A/C, so I just need to get it near the ODBII port. I've not run anything through the firewall yet. Does it require seat removal?

I noticed you opted for more physical gauges. Have you found this to be a useless toy? I think mounting it as you have (right of A/c) only begs for a single new A/C and DashDAQ cover plate to be created. A single cover for both units would make it look somewhat factory.

Are you happy with the software? Are system data and graphs easy to upload and review on a computer? Is there enough capability to review the charts history on the fly with the unit?

I am about to pull the trigger on the purchase, and really wanted to know your opinions."
