Will do this when I get home tonight for the sake of learning more. I have to re-read the whole thread, but did you mention how you wanted the data posted? Then you have to teach me how to post something other than a photo or screenshot!

I recorded data today tho it's with infinity not AE. don't know how to do a screen shot. I'm using logworks to view the file. If someone can tell me how to post the data I will.

Thanks for doing this thread, I'm learning a lot although I don't use AE

Enough posts to attach files? Attach the *.CSV file you recorded to your post.

Too few posts to attach? Open your *.CSV file with Notepad (all MS operating systems have this). Select all text and copy. Reply here with no text and just paste into your reply.

I don't know what format Infinity uses when it records, but I can convert a lot of formats... all I need is the file or the text.

No need for the AE once you have the Infinity.

Infinity pros:
No laptop needed
Always running
Easy to use

Infinity Cons:
Does not change speed for larger tires
Lie-o-meter (MPG calc) will not work
At this time you can only add one sensor. At this time the Infinity can add two additional sensors. Once the CEI-HUB is released it will be able to have 8 sensors. (DP is working on this)

AE pros:
Allows for speed change for larger tires

AE cons:
Have to have laptop
You will never be able to add sensors
Harder to use in comparison to Infinity

You can tune a vehicle and then remove the Infinity to scan other vehicles and you will do no harm. That is one of the benefits of it.

Just like AE you would have to buy the bundles from DashDAQ. I hooked it up to my 2003 honda accord and it worked but I could not get all of the sensors. I have also hooked it up to a ford explorer and I got all the values that my AE gave me.
Correct. The VIN license we offer will only enable you to get advanced/enhanced diagnostics on Ford vehicles. However, it will monitor generic values on all other vehicles.

In order to monitor enhanced data on other makes of vehicles, you would have to purchase that brands enhanced license.

So I didn't get to this last night but will for sure tonight. A quick question though.... does it matter what tune I'm in? I'm glad I read your note about not powering the laptop from the cig lighter. I've been having the dreaded "plugged in, not charging" issues with my laptop lately so I'll have to figure something out.

somebody correct me if i'm wrong but, i think you can safely use a power inverter "12v to 115" from the truck to power your laptop with a regular plug.

You can but I read on here that it can cause interference with the program. I dont know how true it is, maybe someone will chime in and confirm if it does or not.
