Anyone have any experience with this sensor? Any good?
Im looking at the PLX sensor module system to possibly display info on my Iphone instead of buying individual gauges... anyone else doing this or something similar with their products?

Most of the WB gauges I know come with a Bosch sensor anyway, so I imagine that they work pretty well!
My AEM has a Bosch, and so far so good!
However, I would consider an actual gauge instead of the iPhone method, especially for WB. I know it's awesome, but the ability to log is very important for WB, and I haven't heard anything about that capability yet from iPhone software. (not just logging on its own, but simultaneous log with the rest of the one parameters)

The rev software for the Iphone can datalog.... so im not too worried about that. Plus when doing some tuning hopfully soon ill be running alot with the laptop hooked up. I dont do any real track fun with the car, so its mainly just to get it to run decent and not overly rich like it currently is.
Thanks for the info on the sensor though!

Sorry, I just realized that my iPhone autocorrected "OBD" to "ONE" in my previous post.
What I meant was that I know that Rev can datalog parameters, but it isn't a "logging" program. For example, EvoScan or the Cobb RACE software will allow you to record from your OBDII AND your WB gauge simultaneously, allowing you to make actual comparisons.
Or maybe I'm just missing information about Rev, I was looking into it some time ago... Can you "add" inputs outside of OBD? Such as WB?

Ok, did a bit more research. I understand which hardware device you were speaking about. I was looking at the base Kiwi Wifi, not the one that will be coming out soon with external sensor support.

Now I understand! That'll be really cool if it will work.

Yeah... had it not been able to get readings from the external sensors... it wouldnt be as worthwhile. The kiwi wifi definately improves the functionality. Its still spendy to get the ability to read external sensors with it (250 instead of 150) but not a bad idea if you dont want a bunch of gauges cluttering up your dash.

I didn't go with a gauge either. I built a carputer with my wideband into that to datalog and display the data. I used the zeitronix wideband though.
