Default AEM Wideband Install

Got an AEM wideband AFR gauge installed yesterday, getting my truck ready for boost. Next step for the wideband is to attempt to connect the serial communications for logging in HP Tuners. Video here:

Hooking it up is the easiest thing in the world. Data wire and a ground wire. Done.

Well I must be doing something wrong, or this thing is defective, or my laptop/HP Tuners isn't set up right, cause I can't get it to communicate over serial with HP Tuners. Will make some phone calls about it tomorrow.

Yes right now it is only reading the drivers side bank, once I have the turbo installed I will relocate the sensor so it is reading from both banks.

Pro is simple. Standard takes a little work to use the AC Press or EGR sensor

No unfortunately the cup holder won't flip up anymore. Using the standard version of HP Tuners.

I believe I should be able to connect over serial to the standard unit without wiring into the AC or EGR, but haven't been able to get it working yet.
