Default AEM Wide Band Install

I bought the AEM Uego Wide Band. It is a super nice unit. The guage is awesome and is the contoller for the unit. Very simple install and easily made 100% portable. I welded the bung up and installed the included Sensor. I used a cig. lighter plug for the 12V power and ground and used the white 0-5V output wire to the #1 input on the EIO plug on my HPtuners setup. Selected the AEM PID in the HPTuners software and it was up and running. So far my logs are with in .5 AFR to what the guage reads. I am completley happy I decided to go with the AEM unit instead of the LC-1 I have.

Just figured I would give a progress report. I have some tunning to do.

That is my wideband of choice, very compact and extremely easy to use. Glad you like it and good luck with you tuning.

12secSS: Reading your post about the AEM sold me on the unit. It has been one of the times the search function has paid off big time.

+1 on the AEM UEGO. It's a very nice setup. Single wire to connect to HPT EIO and very stable.

the gauge is the controller. the O2 sensor plugs into the back of the gauge and the out put and 12v power harness plug into the gauge.

i recently purchased hptuners for my 00 ws6, and i also have the aem wide band. i hooked the white wire and and ground wire to the EIO plug on my HPtuners. my problem is that hptuners and the gauge do not match at all, the hptuners seems to be 2.5 points higher than what the gauge shows. i believe that the gauge is correct, any ideas? is there anything i can do to calibrate it?

Rely on the gauge...that's what i've been told. HP Tuners is for some reason not reading it correctly. I'm installing my AEM on Sunday. I also have HP Tuners and will try to figure out a way to hook it up. I'm sure there's a thread on it somewhere...

I would recommend you do not use the HPT as a primary ground for the AEM, you can tap the ground from the primary AEM ground into the HPT though. How are you installing the AEM? I have a cigarette lighter adapter that my power and ground from the AEM are wired to, then I have a tap on the ground that goes from the cig lighter adapter to the corresponding HPT ground.

i have the ground from the gauge grounded under the dash on a support, and then tapped into that ground to go to the hptuners. i have talked to other people and they have a difference of .5 between the gause and the hpt software. i dont understand why mine has a 2 point difference.

My aem in my truck also reads really screwy. I usualy log it on my generic scanner that reads the aem on the serial port(blue wire?). Mine might be a ground issue. It also changes output(p0, p1, p2, ect) randomly.

I Used The White Wire (0-5v) To The Hpt Box. Would The Blue Wire To The Diagnostic Port Work Better?

I used a brown wire under the dash that kicks on 12v when you turn the key to the on position...works great!

I grounded it under the dash where there are a bunch of other wires grounded.
