Default Has anyone used a wideband on the Ram?

I recently bought an Innovate Wideband for the ram, so I could tune the truck myself with the Predator. The model I bought was the dual channel LM-2. I hooked it up the other night to the OBD connector to see how well it work for a OBDII code reader. Well to my suprise just about every dash light came, the headlights came on (without the dash backlighting), then the backlighting came on by itself. It was really freaking me out, so I unplugged it and everything went back to normal.
I posted my findings on the Innovate forum, without a single response in over a week. I know its a long shot on here, but thought it couldn't hurt to try.

Has anyone heard of this before?

Im going to be putting one in mine when it comes in, its not that wideband though so I cant help you there. Doesn't sound to good though, did you read through the manuals or look through their forums to see if someone else had similar issues?

Once winter got here, I never bothered to pursue it any further. I was just on the Innovate forum looking for other people having the same problem and I didn't find anything new. Once the weather decide to stay warm I'll get under the truck and put the O2's in for more testing. I'm going to be royally pissed off if I spent $600 on this thing and it doesn't work. Stay tuned.

Ok cool. Mine was doing the same as yours as it was turning off dash lights and making them ding and turning on my lights. I went through several forums including Innovates and didnt get any real help. It would work and log but just made my dash go crazy so I sold it and I just bought a Zeitronix ZT-2.

But I have talked to other guys who have Innovate gear and it worked fine for them.

I even put my gear on a buddys truck and it worked fine on his.
