I do not have this unit but it was my second choice behind
the Innovate LM-1; I chose LM-1 based on my expected use
on multiple vehicles standalone. If I were going to hard-mount
in one car I would go with the Zeitronix, and its additional
analog inputs are nice. If you want the display and so on,
the price proposition gets closer to the LM-1, but the LM-1
makes you buy an adaptor for additional analog inputs etc.
(which the HPTuners wideband option would also take care of,
further complicating or simplifying the decision process,
depending...) and the LM-1 you have to buy a gauge for
separately if you want a dashboard read rather than the
meter. Toys-R-Us ala carte.

I have the Zetronx WB unit. I had it go bad after two days of use and had to have it replaced. It was my fault not the manfactures. One of the wires touched the header and burned through. Its a nice small unit.

According to HP Tuners, their soon to be released WB module will work fine with the analog output of the Zeitronics WB.

I decided on the Zeitronics because it lends itself to a more permanent installation but the LM-1 is a great unit also.

I bought mine in a GP for $350 including the LCD display, which is top notch BTW. Very easy to read in day or night.

Any pictures of your display? I like the look of it, but it sounds huge... 5" wide isn't exactly easy to conceal.

I'll shoot a pic this weekend if I get a chance. I needed to mount my XM Commander controller and the Zeitronics display so I made a very simple mounting plate for now that I have velcro'd to my dash just above the air vents. Actually doesn't look that bad but I think I'm going to buy this to mount both in a better location.

If you're going to take new pictures of it, could you hold it up against the center vents in the car and snap a picture? I may just make a fiberglass replacement for the vents so I can rotate it if I feel the need.
