New Innovate WB Controller on the Market: MTX-L
Did you guys know about this and just not tell me?
It is an all-in-one instead of the LC-1 plus the XD-16 or whatever it was called.

It says it is OK to use it with leaded fuels, but I'm a little skeptical because it looks like the same O2 sensor we always had.

Yeah its pretty cool. At $199 its going to kill everything else since there's very little wiring involved now. The only real drawback is that it doesn't have a calibration button - you have to remove the sensor, unplug it, power up, power down, plug sensor in free air, power up, power down, reinstall sensor. I'm pretty sure people will even find that sequence difficult to remember/do.

I heard about this a couple weeks ago. Not nearly as nice as the XD-16 as it doesn't have the ambient light sensor, the max/min detection, the ability to read other (non-wideband) data channels. Still, a much better looking gauge than the DB series.
The way I see it this is just to compete with AEM's UEGO and all the problems LC-1 installations have caused. I briefly considered getting one after my LC-1 was pronounced toast but Innovate has claimed it's the same basic controller as the LC-1, so I elected to stay away.

Hmm, I wish I had known that. I searched around and found a quote by one of Innovate's marketing guys that it was the same basic controller as the LC-1, so that's when I gave up on it. I would have at least considered it then, as I like the Innovate gauge designs and configurability a lot better than the AEM's.

No idea. I've seen a PCB that had the LM-2 wideband circuit on it (just the wideband control portion - they were considering marketing it to OEMs), and it was about twice the size of my thumbnail. But they didn't give out any technical details of it.
