Anyone running an Autometer Wideband?

I am looking to buy a wideband 02 sensor to monitor my air/fuel ratio. The Autometer Cobalt gauge looks really nice and matches the factory gauges. Anyone have any feedback on these?

i am running an autometer nexus wideband. The only issue i have with this is if i shut the car off and the radio and window still work, and i go to start the car up again sometimes the guage doesnt turn on, so i have to shut the car off, open the door so the power goes off and then start the car up again and the gauge goes on. I am looking into when ithis happens but other then that i have had no problems.

Cobalt is a really nice series, and are very easy to hook up. Give me a call, in stock for same-day shipping!

MRT catted H has an extra bung that was just plugged. Just mounted it there.
I believe you can mount it in the factory H but I think you will have to cut a hole and weld in the bung.

How does the datalogging work? Does it store it or do you have to plug it into your laptop and datalog A/F throught your tuner?

On the stock H pipe you cut a hole in front of the driver's side cat and weld the bung there. Local muffler shop did it perfectly for me for 60.00 in one hour. They didn't even have to drop the H pipe. It can be done right on the car.

The Cobalt wideband has a WOT memory feature and output leads for data logging.

If you have the sensor there, then you're only getting a reading from one bank of the engine, right?

Yes it reads only from one bank.
The only one on the market that uses dual sensors is the FAST wideband and that is not a round 2 &1/8" gauge it is a flat box.
Also, there is no where to put a second sensor on the passenger side. There is already the upstream stock O2 sensor in that spot on passenger side in front of the cat. The upsteam sensor on the drivers side is in the manifold that is why there is a spot to weld on it on the H pipe on that side.

Uberpony, do you have a WOT switch wired in? Also, where did you wire the datalogger signal output? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
