Question plx wideband compatability with datalogit

Hi i called pxl on there current wideband and they said i need a product called a kiwi in order to use it with the black datalogit with the pxl wideband. Anyways I was going to buy there SM-AFR, DM-6 WIDEBAND AFR GAUGE COMBO and I just wanted to make sure that this is all i need in order to hook it up to datalogit, I think tech was wrong and I only need there wideband kit. I want to make sure that I don't need any other additional thing to make the datalogit work. BTW will the o2 sensor be a direct bolt in to downpipe with stock o2 sensor.
Thanks
Richard

I don't have a datalogit but I'm pretty sure you're right. The PLX module has a 0-5v analog output you can use for the datalogit. I'm not sure if you can connect it to the PLX gauge and the datalogit simultaneously without splicing that output wire, however.

Actually on thinking a bit more I believe the PLX gauges use a separate digital connection to the sensor modules, so you'd use that for the gauge and then run the other analog output to the datalogit. Should be easy.

After talking to some people, I think I may go with the innovate mtx-l which is very easy to hook up.

What you need is the BEST serial to USB port adapter that has worked 100% of the time.

I already have the SM-AFR, the DM6 and the black Datalogit, although haven't tried to connect them yet. I will try it the soonest possible and let you know how it worked.
