Haha, never liked Innovate.. I tried their first wideband years ago, and the software was all buggy and kept crashing, I knew it was trouble. Never had luck with any of them.
I went through all sorts of issues on friend's and customers cars, and sometimes I just tell them to fug it and go with something simple and plug and play.

Glad I never bought an Innovate product ever since. I only use AEM, PLX most of the time.

I bought my LM1 2005. Then XD1 maybe 2006. With LM1 never problems, using same lambda etc still. XD1 failed 2 times and first time i got it repaired with warranty and another time it was replaced. All i have to do, i shipped it back to usa maybe $15 (i live in Finland) then fedex brings me repaired / new, so customer service is working great. Just read your manuals before install.

Yup, had the same issue. Was using an LM-1 back in the day, never could get the damn thing to work right. Was always failing, crashing, or not reading right. I always thought it was strange that I had to calibrate the sensor as well, none of the other ones do.

I don't really like the AEM piece much either, but that's for another thread.

Been using my LM-1 for 6 years. Never had a single issue. They make the most accurate wideband on the market period.
