For what I read LM-2 can log OBD2 data and O2 only or I'm wrong?

With zeitronix ZT-2 without dashdaq we cannot read from OBD2 or there is another way?
I checked PCMSCAN software and they support ZT-2 as an aux input but don't know if it will read also from extra sensors plugged in to zt-2!

I hate dragging up threads from the dead but curious what folks are using in 2018 for monitoring engine data. Kind of interested to see AFR/Timing and if knock sensors are detecting anything.

thanks

I’ve been using the Innovate DLG-1 for a few years. Works great.

I think the DashComand app with the “tuxedo” AMG dashboard also looks pretty sweet, and covers knock, fuel trims, MAF/intake values, trans temp and other things. Have been spending some time learning it, and will probably find a way to setup a monitor on the dash if I get around to it. There’s a thread somewhere recently on it, maybe in the “bigger throttle bodies” thread.

Yeah but the wires are long so I just take it out and duct tape it to my visor over my right eye and all is good.

Thanks for the DashCommand tipoff! Just ordered a BT dongle (heh heh always loved that name). I also just realized the stock O2 sensors are wideband sensors. Curious why you went with the innovate (which btw I was "this close" to installing in my 04 CTS-V but I sold the car). Is the response time or sampling faster with the innovate than relying on the OBDII/CANBUS data rates from the stock sensors?
