c) Is that a Parallax LCD? haha... I've interacted with that company in the past, and when they answer, it always makes me laugh. "Sup dude?"

What pushes this product over the edge (and motivates me to consider selling my scanmaster and DSBC-R) is that it pulls boost in response to knock and/or AF.

(A) I'm going to say no because you have two solenoids.
(B) This replaces the scanmaster. I don't see a reason to keep it.
(C) Similar but not the same LCD. Mine has color capability, and sunlight readable.

New 2.21 firmware is out. Added ISC steps, Air volume, Airflow/rev. In case your coolant temperature sensor is getting old and is sending incorrect data occasionally, the coolant alert will now display triggered coolant temperature and not the current coolant temperature. This should assist in troubleshooting. PeakPSI had the decimal place in the wrong place only if you had an external GM pressure sensors, fixed.

Good stuff, but I've been meaning to mention that the last two times I datalogged using EvoScan, I noticed that the water temp readings (only on the logs) were stuck at 300+ and not changing at all. I did multiple logs and each log shows this anomally. Has anyone else mentioned this to you? Is the request id different then the stock one that comes with EvoScan?

I just finally made a cable to connect mine. Having a few problems with disconnecting, but have not upgraded software yet.

My water temps show around the 348 range and do not move either. I have only drove it once since connecting the cable, so I will keep an eye on it...

Nope no one has mentioned it before. I did noticed EvoScan uses the exact same request code for coolant and air temperatures that I use, but interprets the data incorrectly for our cars. That's why there is some disagreement between my unit and Evoscan. I'll take a look and see what my evoscan log shows.

V2.22 firmware fixes the datalog coolant problem (it's datalog priority was too low and never updated).

The AEM version can now read Boost (PSI) and Wideband (AFR) directly from the AEM EMS (via serial stream). This should simplify installation. I'll update the manual with a few examples on how to do this.

This is great, I may now have to tear my "A" pillar pod off, because your screen deemed it unneeded now. glad I didn't buy any gauges.

This thing keeps getting cooler. Did you fix the 2byte load/air flow log issue?

No I haven't looked into depth yet after hitting my first road block. I'll have to build something to spy on what the databus is doing between evoscan and a 99 ECU, as normal serial communication spy software doesn't work on evoscan.

I am FINALLY installing mine.

I am about 98% sure this is the right side up judging from the installation pictures and the text on the back of the board but the instructions do not show a 100% right side up picture. Before I glue everything together I want to be 100% sure.

Is this the correct direction for the LCD screen?

Thank you!
