[Fot] Data Acquisition - experience with Innovate Motorsports?

[Ken Gano, home PC]

I have two different boxes from Innovate in my street car and have had 
nothing but problems.  They seem to work fine just long enough to get your 
hopes up, then it gets flaky, intermittent and finally gone.  Some times 
re-flashing the boxes will fix it for a short period of time, but it is a 
bigger PITA than it is worth.

That said, their a/f meter seems reliable.  Anything more complicated than 
that and they fall flat of their faces.

My experience with support was mixed.  They never really fixed anything, but 
they keep sending new boxes without cost.

Their OBD-II wireless device seems to work OK in a modern car, but seeing 
any more than one screen at a time and, at least on the Iphone, gets very 
difficult. I would love to play with it on a laptop or Ipad.  I haven't 
played with the logging feature on that product.  My problem is that gives 
me a lot of good information, but I don't tune my modern, so it's a little 
bit more just a curiosity rather than valuable information, at least to me.

My $0.02 (or in this case about $200 :-) ) Your mileage may vary.
