LC1 Ext Cable: Does anyone supply an extention cable for the Bosch O2 sensor for the LC-1? Innovate shows one but it appears from their picture that it attaches to the LM-1 only. I emailed Innovate several days ago but no response yet.

I bought the LM1 extension, and then chopped off the end of a bad sensor... wired it up... seems to work ok... however I know innovate strongly recommends against this method because it has a good chance of adding extra noise

Well, that is probably what I'll have to do, it is worthless as a dyno tool as is, not to mention getting the controller box off of the floor. By the time I get done the LM-1 would have been less expensive. Thanks for the help.

this is exactly what I did..
bought an extension thats made for the LM1 with a sensor connector on oen end and a round multi pin on the other....
lopped off teh multi pin side....lopped off the end of an old non functional wideband sensor...commenced to soldering and shring wrapping...
works perfect...
noise...blah..blah..blah..whatever...no problems here

^^^lol... to be fair.... Scott gave me the idea of doing what I did....
Just ohm test each wire... the wires for the heater use 2 wires in the LM1 cable (dunno why they didn't just use thicker gauge? either money savings... or maybe the wires twisting around in the sheath decreased noise? I just soldered them all together as necessary)
