I only intended showing AFR through wideband and not odbII on the DashDAQ.
Also, I appreciate the input on the install through the center channel.

I just read that there is a 11/04/08 release date on the navigation/gps add-on.
Version 2 of the software has also been released and they updated their website. DREW
The DashDAQ Skin Editor is now publicly available, so I guess we can make the gauges and screens look like we want now.

I saw that you and "insane" and "Chili Red" were on their forum discussing installation of the Innovate MTS as well. DashDAQ • View topic - Hooking up to the Innovate MTS Chain
The Innovate package that I referred to is supposed to be a clean connection already made up. 02 sensor cable goes from exhaust bung into LC-1 and then directly into dashdaq and the dashdaq shows wideband AFR readings.

I ordered the package from Innovate Innovate Motor Sports On-Line Store today and should receive it late next week or possibly a week later. They had to call drewtech to get another DashDAQ delivered to them. Its expensive at around $700, but that includes both the DashDAQ and the Innovate LC-1 in the kit. $700 is the cost for the DashDAQ alone at most websites and the LC-1 is $200. Nothing this expensive is a great deal though. I figure that if I would have to spend at least $400 to get a good AFR gauge installed, and spend a bunch of time running the cable through the interior, I might as well get a display that can read odbII and any additional sensors that can be daisy chained to the LC-1, which is already connected to the DashDAQ. Plus, I can take it out of the lotus and see if I can find the optimal speeds for MPG for my daily commute in my truck. Having the "skin editor" available to the public makes the customization appealing.

It will be interesting to find a way to mount this unit cleanly. I'll definitely post a write-up on installment and if I'm inclined, probably try to make a set of gauges to match the interior of the lotus.
