    Which wideband

    I have read the forum and cant find a definitive answer telling which wideband from aem to use. I'll be tuning a 2000 Silverado mostly and I have the standard feature set not pro. Please point me in the right direction

    I purchased an AEM 300 series wideband that I log through a serial to USB connector to my laptop, it works great and was easy to setup. Goat rope garage on YouTube has a good video on how to setup using the standard feature set.
    It’s only 2 wires to solder onto a serial connector to start logging.

    The AEM 30-300 is the one that will work with the AEMNet canbuss through the prolink cable. Poll rates are much faster through that vs using serial.

    The ProLink has CANBus. And, it will talk to the AEM 30-0300 and 30-0310 widebands, Along with a few that I have not tried. This is MASSIVELY superior to
    the serial data method.

    I would just so you could use the CAN protocol. It leaps and bounds better than serial

    For now, the Pro Feature Set and ProLink is the way to go. The ProLink has it's own CAN interface that can recieve AEMNet CAN messages, used by the 30-0300 and 30-0310.

    I am, just now, starting a new project for older, non-CAN, vehicles. It will be a little box that gives a 30-0300/30-0310 30-0334 functionality, but, with J1850VPW/PWM, as well as CAN based OBDII ability. This should cover all US built vehicles from 1996 on ( I think ).
    It will, also let you set up multiple channels of 30-0300/30-0310. And, mix 30-0300 with 30-0310 units.

    It will be a while. 1st units will, probably be available around August/September. I am targeting a price of about $60 - $65 , which is just about the difference in price between a 30-0300 and 30-0334. I MAY be able to add some additional functionality, like exhaust back-pressure compensation, Sensor test/calibration verification, etc. Maybe even a smart sensor-heater delay function, to prevent thermal shock to the sensors, on start-up. Time will tell

    Thanks for the info. I will look into going that route. Hopefully truck is starting today, so I'll have to use what I have for now. We'll see what happens
