Connecting without spare USB

Post by Shane001 »

Is there anyway to connect an AEM wideband without a spare USB?

I currently have an 8" Lenovo tablet mounted in the car for logging but it only has a single USB3 port. So I don't have a spare USB port to connect the AEM wideband. I have both the UEGO and the Failsafe (one on either bank).

Is there anyway to connect it directly through the ECU or the consult port?

Thanks.

I would suggest getting a small USB hub so you can plug in multiple devices into the laptop. I have one single USB cable in my vehicle which does consult + LC1 + DLP through the hub (this is hidden in the middle console)

Hi Matt, are you running a powered USB hub?

I thought of that but assumed it probably wouldn't work and would need to be powered.

Do you remember what brand/model hub you're running?

No it doesn't need to be powered. I run Unitek but others should work fine
