I'm not sure but it looks like the aeroforce requires $200 wide band sensor also. From my understanding obd2 cars slightly adjust a/f ratio automatically, but I feel like possibly trying to fine tune it. Any suggestions to bother trying it ? maybe just get one of the scanners or gauge and have somebody else program it if necessary or still wanted? I think my dads cousin has the equipment to program but he's a very busy man.

To truly tune, you need to have an HPtuner program (you can get this from ZZP), or a Powertuner(but these aren't sold anymore), and HPtuners is like 500 bucks. You could always take it to the dyno and get it dynotuned for a couple hundred.

Or you can buy my MAF tuner. It's the mini MAF frequency tuner, for 3800's, it allows you to lean/richen your fuel mix via the MAF frequency. I've only used it for a week. Tops. 100 bucks. The way I see it I don't need the damn thing, my car's never running long enough to do anything with it.

When I was researching gauges that one looked very promising. I have heard bad things about the buttons being on the back of the unit, making it very awkward to use, also the owners of the product created fake accounts on A LOT of different forums posting their own "reviews" of how great it is.

Being a forum moderator, we know all about how people do that, and because of those business practices I refused to support them

Are there different "ELM 327"s for different vehicle manufacturers?

I am most interested in a Bluetooth unit that I can use with my phone, or with an adaptor on my laptop, etc., but can I purchase somethign like this >>> eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices <<< & utilize it not only on my 'Carlo, but my Pop's Buick Century? My Mom's Eclipse? Friend's BMW?
