Glowshift wideband install help
Hey everybody, just recently got my car turbod and am running a glowshift wideband. I have two questions
1. What do I select in tunerstudio under calibrate afr table? Glowshift isn't an option so right now I selected custom and it seems to be about 1 afr lower than what the gauge reads
2. The gauge seems to be trying to calibrate every single time the power is turned off and then on (ex. Key is switched to on and the gauge will calibrate and usually just read 20 then when I start the car it starts and then tries to calibrate itself again.) Eventually it settles at 10
Could this potentially be happening because the 12v constant wire isnt on a constant 12v source? Right now it is connected to the blue and red wire on the back of the radio which I heard (correct me if I'm wrong please) is a constant source and seems to be working fine for my boost gauge.
maybe I should buy a multimeter
any help is appreciated been at this all day thanks so much in advance

Not sure where to begin. They seem to use the Bosch 4.9 LSU sensor so there's that. You need a multimeter. "Grounded" to a constant power source doesn't make sense. Many people are happy to help but it almost sounds like you're just guessing and this might just be the tip of the iceberg as far as getting your car tuned.

You should DEFINITELY have a multimeter before starting an install like that.
Which gauge exactly do you have? From my 30 seconds of googling I found:
Is this how you have it wired? It sounds like you might have wired your 12v+ constant (white) to something that switches off.
Which gauge exactly do you have? From my 30 seconds of googling I found:
Wire Color Code Red: 12v Constant Source (+) (un-switched)
Black: Vehicle Ground ( - )
White: 12v Ignition Source (+) (switched)
range: 12v Switched Headlamp Source (+) (optional)
Data Logging Output: Offers two analog outputs for monitoring and capturing Air / Fuel Ratio using a third party data log device Wire Color Function Connection Signal Voltage Green Provides the positive (+) analog
NARROWBAND voltage output signals. Data Logger (+) 0– 1 volts Brown Provides the positive (+) analog
WIDEBAND voltage output signals. Data Logger (+) 0 – 5 volts
Black Provides the negative (-) ground reference for both analog NARROWBAND & WIDEBAND voltage output signals.

Well you should really look at your documentation for the wideband and give you the values it tells you to use. Also not buying a shitty wideband controller is a good starting point.
