I'd just make sure the actual wideband controller module has a very good ground. I ran mine outside and into the engine bay, then grounded it to the frame rail along with some other factory grounds.

I had the same question when I was messing around with projecting my wideband data using the Dashlogic. I was told that they originally put the ground terminal there if needed, but found it made basically zero difference.

But for what you want to do, it's just one wire that needs to be run and connected to the green aux connector on the Dashlogic.

Exactly what I need! I saw that on the dashlogic site there's a little formula to program into the device for proper reading. Did you have to do that? I really appreciate your help!

But yes, I made a "user defined" PID and entered the formula provided by PLX. It's the same type of thing you have to do if you ever want to log wideband data in HP Tuners, etc.

No, I just had to try all of my ports. I will try it again. I'm going to get the wideband installed on Monday, so I need to make sure everthing works.

I'm going to try to rig it with velcro for easy breezy pull off and put on.

I posted in the other dash logic thread, but I see some people have posted issues on here.
I just got my dash logic, and last night I plugged it into my laptop and made a few changes. I need to monitor boost for my superchargers, so I selected the MPA pressure.
This morning was the first time plugging the dash logic into the car. I plugged it in, turned the car on, and nothing happens. The unit just blinks red. Hitting the lock button on the door does nothing. Anyone run into this before? Guessing a dead unit?
Already emailed palmer, waiting for them to respond, but figured I would post here as well to see if anyone had any suggestions.

Also, the engine usually needs to be running for me to see any data.
Oh, and that MPA PID probably isn't what you want. You want to choose "calculated boost" -- I think that's what it's called. When I first got my DashLogic, I had to make my own user defined PID, but I think it's something Palmer includes as standard with the latest firmware version. It should be there.

streetk14,
Yeah it was on profile one when I installed it.
I tried it with the engine off and running. Nothing
Ill have to change that pid then, thanks for the heads up.
Palmer responded, they want me to export my configuration file so they can take a look at it. Hopefully its an easy fix. Got my alky control kit going in today.
