Thank you for making this video. I bought an AEM 30-0300 from SDPC this past November and was very confused to find a FAE/AEM labeled sensor instead of the Bosch LSU. Afterwards, I checked AEM's site and found a small note in the description saying: "AEM co-developed the new sensor with global automotive supplier FAE, culminating in a new sensor design that has a faster response time than the Bosch 4.9 LSU and is less prone to failure in high performance vehicles" However there are still 2 sets of instructions for the same part number on the same AEM page, with one labeled "Bosch Sensor" and one "FAE Sensor". In the "FAE Sensor" instructions, there is an extra note saying: "The X-Series UEGO gauge can automatically determine whether an AEM/FAE or Bosch LSU4.9 sensor is connected to the UEGO sensor harness." So to me it sounds like they are in process of switching to FAE sensors, but I am happy to know I can pick up a good old LSU4.9 if the FAE fails quickly. So far so good! P.S.: CAN FTW!
I just got the same and just installed it. I have an older one with the Bosch sensor. I didn't see this video until after I instlled it, otherwise I would have taken pics of both side by side. The old one is going into my other project. I will follow up on this video with more as I hammer on this one, especially if anything goes wrong.
I just purchased an OBD2 Wide Band directly from AEMs site, and it came with the FAE sensor. They have a video on their TH-cam about switching over to FAE sensors.
Aem is now going to be using fae sensors according to their website. Supposedly they are better but time will tell. I'll stick to the bosch as they are easy to find at a parts store.
Funny that you posted this right now, I bought a boost, AFR, and oil pressure gauges from AEM directly about 2-3 weeks ago and my afr gauge came with a FAE wide band sensor.
AEM 4-life! On a real note, I usually get mine from auto zone it comes with a warranty, and it's authentic. If you can get past them wanting to look up a vehicle and not understanding how to type in a part number, then it works out in the long run. Gives you a year to make sure your sensor is solid. Thanks Kyle.
Last aem I bought came with a fake bosch sensor that lasted about 5 minutes of idle time so I exchanged it for an all new gauge/ sensor kit and it also had a fake bosch that lasted for 1 cruise. After this I called and complained to aem so they sent me a new o2 sensor and sure enough they sent me an authentic bosch sensor and it worked flawless until I sold the car. After this I only look for the older lsu 4.2 gauges. I have never had an issue with my 15yr old 4.2 gauge setup. Only had to replace the sensor a couple times since going to e85
Yes...please make an update video for the infinity ecu please ...lol loved the 1st one still rewatch to keep it stuck in my head...great info as always bud 🤙
Lemme try that again. I was trying to be funny but I failed. The 30-0300 I bought 6ish months ago from The WS6 Store is working great for probably the best price you can find on a genuine AEM unit! It has the FAE and AEM markings on the side of the sensor. Thanks again for your time and knowledge! Mike in DFW
Im new to the tuning world and have learned a lot from this channel along with HPTuners. Granted, Im not writing my own tunes just yet and may not for quite some time but I did learn about wideband's and I did purchase this very same AEM UEGO unit. It came with the Bosch O2 sensor and works flawless. Granted, I am concern with sensor life expectancy but not really. I got the car dialed currently with help from a very reputable tuner and its the power to the pedal that I care more about. As far as the AEM unit, yes, the instructions have to be updated but other than that, great unit. Awesome work on the channel Goat rope garage.
Had the same one now I bought from vcm here in Australia, came with a genuine sensor and havnt had an issue with it in the last 3 months , set up through the scanner was a breeze too 👌
Ive bought 2 of these and a boost gauge over the last 3 years. Both 30-0300 had a knockoff sensor. I received the boost gauge poorly packaged. The box was mashed inside, unit had a scratch and blems. I immediately returned the boost gauge. I also purchased these from summit so i would say they are the real deal. The sensors included did not last a year.
When I bought that same wideband last year, I had hell with the actual gauge. My sensors were both Bosch but the gauge wasn’t working until they warrantied the unit.
Same model i just put in my 04 Vette, not sure what sensor though. Had to cut the obd2 plug off and wire it in to serial adapter to work on my 04. Took some trial and error, but seems to work fine and plus side, didn't have to buy the pro set hptuners.
Not sure bout AEM gauges, but Bought a set of TIMKEN HUBS for my 08 TBSS and they were totally knock offs, TIMKEN said it's like a $50 million dollar a year deal , bought off Amazon
When you get to describing connections, please include your thoughts on using the AEMNet with the Prolink+ on the MPVI3, which in my case is the 30-0300. The 0334 has the OBDII pass-through, mine just has two wires suitable for connecting to the Prolink+. The searches I’ve done show a couple possibilities. There are two 5v input wires to the Prolink+, blue and red. There are also two CAN buss wires which one guy connected to the AEM CAN buss by putting a 100 ohm resistor across the connection-which made it work. My question is whether you find if this is an option rather than the analog 5v. My application is a Gen IV 6.0 with an E38 and a 6L90. The TCM has a Corvette OS and the torque converter is Circle-D with a triple disc clutch. The combo is in a 71 C10, soon to be ready to start for the first time.
Had mine for 2 years. A few months ago it stopped pulling data into my PID. Not sure if it’s a hardware or HP Tuners issue. Gauge still works fine though.
Just wondering if you ever did the updated video on getting it setup on laptop. Bringing it in threw mpvi3 ? Didn't see it on your channel. Maybe I missed it
I run one of these guages and so far it works very well. However, after doing a TSP stage 3 cam on a camaro ls3, the idle tuning seems a bit off. Every now and again it will go into a weird idle, almost like it is surging. Rpm is set at 900. When it does this weird idle, the AFR guage will bounce as high as 16.5 before leveling back out. Idk if this is normal for a larger cam. The stock set up would do the same thing sometimes. Any feedback would he appreciated! Normal driving is pretty good. Afr is between 14-15 cruising low load. PE stays about 12:1.
Mine from pre holly takeover came with the non canbus firmware on it, had to destroy it and send em pics and they sent a properly flashed unit. Was kinda strange xp having to smash a fresh working gauge 😂
K, I have installed this exact unit. The gauge is working perfectly but I cannot get it to log in HP tuners. I have the MPVI3 and chose the channel AEM 30- 30XX wideband channel 1. Any advice
Funny you say some of the sensors are crap, I bought 2 of these in 2021ish and put them in both banks of my CTS-V. One of the sensors died in a year, the other sensor died after 2 years. Unfortunately the car is in storage for the winter and I can't check who makes the sensors right now.
I installed one of these on my buddy's truck and came with a chepo o2 sensor.... soooo I bought your graph layouts, and I can't get the damn thing to read on the hp tunner VCM channel. I'm using the "Red" wire. I have the pro link hooked up to it. Had to splice the 2 OBDII wires that come with it to the pro link. If anyone can help, that would be nice. Thanks
I'm hesitant to add anything to the can bus, seems like anything I hook up to the can bus freaks out my EFI Live flash scan V2 during flashing and data logging
I bought 1 a couple of weeks ago. It came with the FAE sensor. Before buying it I didn’t know there was an option to use the obd2 port so now I’m stuck with a bunch of wires. I have the serial to usb plugged in but I can’t get it to show in the scanner. I can see it in another program but I’m at a road block trying to get in where I actually want it. 2011 suburban 5.3 LT Any help would be appreciated
Apparently turning the computer off and on is not the same as restarting. After actually restarting the computer it all worked. So technically you’ve told me how to do it several times 😂……… thanks dude lol
Hey man watching your videos for years , do you have any videos on removing vct on hp tuners if possible, got a build at the moment where i want to put aftermarket cams /gears on it
I just bought this same kit from summit yesterday, I’ll report back once it gets here. I hope they didn’t cheap out to try to maximize profits. Selling cheaper sensors, then they should lower the price of the kit since a new Bosch is about 1/2 the price of the kit. Who am I to say though? I’m no economist lol
@@GoatRopeGarageLike promised, brand new kit from Summit racing, the sensor itself has no markings on it. It’s just a plain piece of shiny metal. The pigtail does not say Bosch but has the Bosch emblem and the part number 1928404687 on it. Date stamp is 23.11.18 15:28, so that must be November 18th, 2023 at 3:28pm. Not too old. But couldn’t they just swap the pigtail? No other way to tell it’s genuine from the sensor itself.
Other than not knowing if the sensor is genuine, this is a pretty nice kit. I like that they include the cardboard cutout so you can ensure you can get the sensor hole-saw size if you went that route, and the wiring itself seems pretty solid.
@@GoatRopeGarageI think it might be genuine. I can’t tell from the sensor itself but it has the Bosch logo on the pigtail, good enough for me as long as it gets me dialed in
if you got the 30-0334 model you can cut the obd2 plug off and wire it in to serial adapter to plug into pc. The analog wire is there, just not used in shipped state.
@bigbenisdaman not sure, on mine the analog and serial wires weren't populated in the plug. The firmware is different also but reading the instructions makes it seem like the serial portion is active.
@@GoatRopeGarage yea I did mine last month, had to move a pin on the gauge side (instructions pin-out has them all labeled, analog is there just not pinned) then cut obd2 connector and wire that repinned wire to serial connector; if that makes sense. Just not sure if guy above has the 0334 or another one that may or may not be that way.

My AEM Gauge (ordered December 2023) came with a fake sensor. It lasted 20 minutes, contacted AEM and was sent a replacement, it lasted 5 minutes. I ordered a new sensor that the seller claimed to be authentic Bosch, it was not. It lasted less than 5 minutes. I went to O'Reillys and bought a real genuine Bosch unit, and not surprisingly it has not been an issue since I installed it. IF IT DOES NOT SAY "BOSCH LSU 4.9" IT IS NOT REAL. The genuine unit also has machining on the peaks of the hex and all of my fakes do not. Dont buy this junk. I will never buy from AEM again.

Around January 2024 I bought the same model you got from Amazon & I got a Bosch.
Have nothing but issues with Innovate too, looking at 14point7 now
Had the same one now I bought from vcm here in Australia, came with a genuine sensor and havnt had an issue with it in the last 3 months , set up through the scanner was a breeze too 👌

I bought a aem 30-4110 uego from a reputable seller from ebay on February 8/24, it arrived with a no name 4.9 lsu sensor.
Now that is interesting
When I bought that same wideband last year, I had hell with the actual gauge. My sensors were both Bosch but the gauge wasn’t working until they warrantied the unit.
I watched this video a few weeks ago just ordered a air fuel from Amazon and yes I did not get a Bosch wideband sensor
My AEM has a Bosch o2 .
I add the 2 wires for the old vehicles. Works great
Yep got a BOSH sensor 👍🏼August 2023
Same model i just put in my 04 Vette, not sure what sensor though. Had to cut the obd2 plug off and wire it in to serial adapter to work on my 04. Took some trial and error, but seems to work fine and plus side, didn't have to buy the pro set hptuners.
How I profer to do it, serial is the superior way to get the data in the scanner.
I have two of these
Not sure bout AEM gauges, but Bought a set of TIMKEN HUBS for my 08 TBSS and they were totally knock offs, TIMKEN said it's like a $50 million dollar a year deal , bought off Amazon

What is the best AEM wideband sensor setup for an 04 Chevy Tahoe using HP MPVI3?
30-0300 with a serial to usb adapter
I'm hesitant to add anything to the can bus, seems like anything I hook up to the can bus freaks out my EFI Live flash scan V2 during flashing and data logging
That's how mine showed up. Loose in the box. It looked like it was a return or something
Also, came with the FAE sensor
Bought one few years back didn't use it right away and it was no good had buy another unit and the sensor only lasted few weeks

I think I do, but I can't remember. Just go under variable cam under airflow and set number of cams to none.
@@GoatRopeGarage sweet man i was thinking along those lines , is ford much different to tuning the GM

Will this work on a 2002 Camaro that does not have CAN
With mpvi3
No
Just bought one this week and it's not a bosh
Bought mine one month ago no Bosch sensor and gauge itself won't turn on. Email tech support waiting on response
That sucks man
I think people buy cheap sensors order the aem guage swap them out and return them. Especially Amazon
I could see that being a thing
I got the canbus aem without realizing my p01 ECM in my LS2 swapped iroc doesn't do canbus. Oops lol
