Hi guys, Here is an update for those of you who may be interested in my issues with the Innovate XD-16 display, and more recent problems with the LC-1. After exchanging a few emails with Innovate Support, I went to a web archive website called WAYBACK MACHINE. This is website is run by the...

Thanks Handsome Jesus, I'm pretty sure that my problem is with the XD-16 because it works fine in lambda mode, but not AFR mode. I hit a block when I try to re-configure it for AFR using the LM Programmer software. I'm sort of getting used to using it in lambda mode now, but it still annoys...

PS XD16-V100B.dld, NOT XD16-V100NB.dld!

PS to my earlier reply to Turbocharged400sbc: I said that the CD that came with the LC1 did not have any DRIVERS. I meant to say that it did not include any FIRMWARE files, which usually end with .dld There are actually a number of Windows drivers covering various Windows versions on...

Hi all, I have the impression that nobody had any problems with their XD-16s, so they did not need to update their Firmware. But just in case, I will update the likely names of the required Firmware: XD16-V100A. dld or XD16-V100NB.dld I think that an earlier version of the XD-16 was the...

Hi all, Thanks for the additional welcomes, and some brief replies: Sorry Mook, Yes, GTRs are nice, but I got the rotary bug! My son's other passion is WRXs. Thanks RdRnnR for the link, As far as I can tell it's an old one. The XD-16 was discontinued a very long time ago. Innovate...

Thankyou Mook, I really appreciate the warmth of your community. It is very special. I look forward to more of that. Lew.

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the new welcome messages. I'm overwhelmed. I love the US too. I've done some driving there on business trips quite some years ago, and I loved it. Note to @Turbocharged400sbc: I bought my XD-16 in a so-called standalone kit, Innovate PN #3781, which included the...

Hi Mook, Thanks for forwarding this to Handsome Jesus. I just got up (at 3:30 AM in Sydney!) and called the Innovate / Autometer Support line. They confirmed what Nadanutcase said a few posts back, so I have to keep looking elsewhere. I could buy an analogue gauge, but I like the...

Thank you all for your warm welcome! I'm sorry it's not a Holden! I like those too. My father used to drive them, but I've never owned one. So many cars, so little time! (But my brother-in-law has a beautifully restored Holden Panel Van.) Yes, the Mazda is factory-everything except the...

Hi all, I just joined the forum in order to download those two very useful Firmware files. Thankyou very much! Meanwhile, I am having a problem with my XD-16 (serial) display, which I love. I think I may have corrupted the firmware in that. Can anyone tell me where I may be able to find...

Hi RdRnnR, Thanks for your reply. It's just the small original but re-built turbo, which is good for low-end torque but not optimum for power at high revs. A 13B turbo would be better for that, but as I said, I just want to keep it going. It's nice to drive. Unlike the RX-7 12A and 13B...

Hi all, I just joined the forum in order to download a couple of useful Frimware files for my Innovate LC-1, but what I really need is the Firmware file for the Innovate XD-16 serial display. I will shortly write a post about that under TCG Technical. I have a 1984 Mazda Cosmo with a rotary...
