What you are pointing out. There are a few widebands out there that have a narrowband output to mimic the narrowband for the stock ecu.

thats teh biggest ripoff evar! you can get a lm-1 for teh same price and teh lm-1 pwns that homemade pos and you dont gotta spend teh extra 44$ to do narrowband conversition. Not sure why you want narrowband conversition tho. Neway here is teh lm-1

The bottom one. It converts Narrowband to a wideband it causes the volts to drop, i believe the same as a true Wideband. The reason why i showed you guys this. I have the Narrowband from autometer, and im sure im not the only one in this forum, if its acurate as they say. All i have to do is buy one of these for $44.00 bulks and i have a wideband

either im confused or youre confused, because it says you need the wideband module ($349) for the output signal, so then why would you spend that much and then the $44 when you can get the lm1 like posted above?

He's got it backwards, it converts a wideband to a narrowband (as most can do already built in).

what are u guys talking about....its a PLX unit...u can read more about it from plxdevices.com it has a LCD unit built in displaying the AFR without the crappy gauge.....u can get it if u want..but IMO..its a waste of money.....and $349 if a ripoff....ebay it for $299....honestly...its a pretty decent unit..controller/sensor/cable for $299 and it has a narrow band output...(not sure if that model has it..but the m500 does)

If you have some experience with building electronics, I would buy the 2A1 from www.wbo2.com, its around $180.00 plus the wideband (around $40 from vw dealer). Also the Lc-1 is a good deal, that xd-1 looks awesome.

No dood you gotta read teh website again

This device allows the wideband output signal from the above wideband kit to feed a narrowband o2 sensor like the offerings from Autometer.
You gotta buy teh 349$ kit AND teh 44$ kit. its like those pc video game expantions where you need to buy teh original game too.

Like i said you can get teh lm-1 for 349$ or less in teh group buy and you dont need no 44$ addon and you get datalogging too. lc-1/xd-1 is pretty tite too.
