I wouldn't buy it. I bought the autometer wideband since they're such a reputable company i thought it has to be good. It is, but the refresh rate isn't want I wanted. If you're going to spend the money do it right the first time and get a innovative, plx, or a Zeitronix . Everything else is subpar.

Not sure that everything else is subpar...I have a NGK Powerdex AFX Wideband Air-Fuel monitor and it works mint. Refresh rate is instant, don't think I would buy anything else.

I bought a JAW kit. The display has a user-selectable refresh rate of up to 255 Hz.

I had glowshift oil pressure and voltmeter gauges in my car last summer. And over the winter I decided to switch them over to autometer gauges, and added a PLX wideband.

I was really thinking of buying the glowshift wideband aswell, since my other glowshift's worked well. Except that I couldn't stand the magnified lense. It made the numbers all distorted, and was hard to read during the day. Especially when it was really sunny out. I decided to switch the oilpressure and voltmeter gauges to autometer since they are a reputable company and the gauges are much easier to read.

I finally decided to buy the PLX wideband over the glowshift for the same reasons. Plus, my brother has had his PLX for a while, and has never had any problems. It works great, and is not much more money than the glowshift. Definately worth it.
