Can someone please explain to me what is meant by 'integration' wrt these two units? Each is sold individually, so they can obviously work independently.

To be a little more precise;

1) What is the advantage of an integrated setup?

2) How does the addition of the LRC100 change the operation of the Ob2?

3) I've read mixed reports over compatability, particularly that the manafacturers of the Ob2 don't recommend hooking it up with an LRC100. Any comments / experiences of this?

4) Any and all other thoughts/observations on this combination are welcomed!

Thanks in advance.

Integration is achieved by buying a cable from Origin that links OB2 and LRC100

1) No need for seperate switch, light, and buzzer for LRC100
2) OB2 provides on screen and audible warning when LRC 100 triggers
3) Electrical noise causes false alarms. Using a clip on ferrite ring on the OB2 cable just before the in car mount reduces the false alarms, but they still occur under high revs / high load
4) LRC100 good all round, OB2 good software and database, poor physical construction

Thankyou Madou.

Is it possible to turn the LRC100 off, but leave the Origin on?
