As far as I know, all of them are compatible with the exception of the AEM. I originally had it and could never get it to work, though I think some other people may have had better success than me. The LM-1 was pretty easy to use with the datalogit since you can program it's output, thus not having to worry with the polynomials. Downside of it being that the control box for it is abnormally large...

Hmmm, I was under the impression that there were more that did not work with the datlogit. I am between the Zeitronix and the LM-1. Its not going to stay in the car, it just for tunning.

Do you have the LM-1?

There might be others that don't work, but I can't think of any offhand. Yep, I have the LM-1. My ONLY complaint with it up to this point is the size of it. But they pack in a lot of features if you don't mind the size. And I think sometime very soon they're planning on releasing one that's a lot smaller to try to lure in the motorcycle crowd, so that might be worth waiting on.

Check out DYNOJET's new WB offering. This may be the best of the bunch. A friend just installed it in his car (Not an RX) and the thing is awesome

Where did you hear they are coming out with a smaller version?

I spend time in their forums, and it's been mentioned there. Though they're also coming out with a kick *** programmable gauge, but we've been waiting on that since about last August.....so it's no telling how long it will take them to do the smaller LM-1. They're currently saying 2 weeks, though...

Here's the description of what it's supposed to be:

I contacted them and this is what they said:

The product is called the LC-1. Keep in mind that this wideband controller will not have a display unless you also purchase our up-coming digital gauge (XD-1). If you plan on using our system to data log the LC-1 will not fit your needs. The price for the LC-1 is going to be $199 w/sensor and the LC-1 and XD-1 bundle will be $399. We should be releasing these two products in two to three weeks.

I asked them about atleast logging the AFRs

I am not familiar with the FC-datalogit, but I imagine that system has its own way of logging RPM. Otherwise, the LM-1 will include the analog output which will output AFR. The LC-1 will not have any data logging capabilities and the LM-1 will data log in reference to time unless you have the RPM converter or the AuxBox.

So it looks liek its just gauge type...... hmmmm

Interesting. Just to add, in case it's not totally obvious...

The LM-1 will log, but out of the box, all it will log is AFR vs Time. That's pretty useless. You have to buy their Aux Box or RPM converter to do any meaningful logging. But there's no reason for any of that anyway, since you can simply plug it's output into the Datalogit and do all your datalogging from there.

I do like the display on the LM-1, but I plan on getting their gauge when it comes out anyway.

I think if I hadn't already bought an LM-1, I would be doing the LC-1 and gauge combo....hell, for that matter I may sell mine and still go that route...

I actually stand corrected, I have been talking back and forth quite a bit. It has the same output features as the LM-1 in terms of hooking up to log to the FC-Datalogit, except as of right now you cannot datalog rpm, pressure, temps etc, again you CAN log AFRs. They will be releasing firmware for the auxbox so you can use the LC-1 to datalog other items.

Because I'll use the datalogit to do my logging. If I decide to sell mine I'll let you know...
