What I do/ did not like about Innovate was a few things...

1. The cable to the X-16 guage could be a couple of feet longer. In a rear engine vehicle, it takes some careful routing to get the guage in the dash. I called Innovate to ask about an extension cable, and they advised they did not make one. When I suggested that Radio Shack would have one (for a pair of headphones), they laughed and said that would not work, as their cabling is wired differently. HUH??

2. I am having troubles now with the unit reading correctly... called innovate, they suggested that its and exhaust leak(with fresh air getting in) HUH?? These are Rarlyl8 headers.. no leaks there!!! And my engine was running pig rich (and the guage is reading VERY lean)

3. The serial port.... Well, it does work, but there are newer interfaces out that are widely used (USB, Blue Tooth, etc...) Why use an interface that does not come standard on laptops?? Yes, I know that you can get an adapter. But, I shouldn't need to get one!!

4. The employees at the company that I had contact with were RUDE... Sorry, I will not be buying another product from them....EVER!!!
