Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Well I tried to get the Zeitronix WB I bought to work and it never ended up working. I emailed them several times. The guy told me to make sure I had a good 12v and good ground.(DUH!) I told him I did and everything was hooked up correctly. He told me to check for 5v between the Yellow and Brown wires on the signal harness. I told him there was no power there but definately 12v going into the unit. He sent me an Email stating I obviously damaged the unit installing it. LOL That pissed me off. I told him I would ship it back for a full refund and that I DID NOT damage it. I'll let you know how this pans out.

wow I was just about to order one, good thing I saw this post. Let us know how he handles this.

Get an LM-1 ;)

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

LM-1 datalogs itself

its stupid proof 8)

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

I'd rather have the LM1 but it's just so bulky

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

THe guy at Zeitronix hasn't gotten back to my emails in 2 days. I sent the WB back yesterday and told him to at least contact me when he receives it. I told him I would just prefer my money back. I guess we will see what happens.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Crap I tried installing my Zeitronix one and it took a dump on me too(may have been my fault but I doubt it) ... I sent it back for inspection yesterday, so we'll see what happends.They dont get back to your emails hardly at all. You'd think that after dropping $300 bucks would make them a bit more communitive with their customers.... Guess not... The guy said that I for sure wired mine wrong too, wich I know that I didnt. ::) O well ,it will be interesting to see how things turn out.

you guys are stupid, stop badn mouthing zeitronix, learn how to hook up 12 volts for christ sake, red is to positive, and black is to negative, duuuuh

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Im not bad mouting them for the record. t just didnt happen to work for 2 people who may or may not of installed it right. That still doesnt explain their slow email issue. If you spent that much wouldnt you expect a little bit more timely responses about whatever you had just bought if you had questions? So far I give them thumbs up cause they have been in contact with me and are going to take a look at it. Thats more then I can say for a lot of companies out there that would say sorry your outta luck.

djfob: I wouldnt let this keep you from buying one, everything Ive read and seen says this is a top notch WB02 company.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

damn i got lucky, mine works perfectly.

it sucks that the guy is being a douche about it. hope mine never breaks in that case.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Just checking in. He received it yesterday and still no email even saying he received it. I think I may have a hard time getting anywhere with this guy.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

um wow.......I'd assume since the thing cost so much he'd be a bit more helpful

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

See these new compnaies come out with these products so fast they dont think about what will happen if their product takes off. Then the CS suffers and the product gets a bad rep for a while.

Innovate did this for a while too but they have come out top notch in my book lately

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Update he just emailed me and said he doesn't have it yet and its probably still in his P.O. box. Doesn't seem like he gives a ---- about picking it up and paying me my money.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Shoot Dave, hope things work out alright with this situation. Hopefully the guy won't be a dick.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Im at the point of telling the guy to ---- off and just going through Paypal to get my money. $300 isn't a huge amount of money but its all I have to spend right now and its tied up.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

I would still; be bull about 300 dude. Don't let him keep it... got to be a way to get that back. Keep the receipt that they gave you when you shipped it back to him. You might need it for future refference.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

I have all the stuff from the Post office and all the emails. I don't think he will screw me but the question is when will I get my money or at least a new Wideband. I am going to borrow one from the dyno shop. Mike down there has an LM-1 that he never uses. He told me to just take it and bring it back whenever.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

He sent me an email sayin he would let me know when he got it. I sent it Monday and I know that he got it cause I sent it priority. I doubt hes checked his PO box where our sensors are sitting... I just hope that Ill have a working wideband in the end and that I can get it before next weekend. Keep us posted.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Blaze please post or PM me when he responds to you.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Update. The guy at Zeitroinx got back to me and indeed admitted the unit defective. He said he will send one 2nd day air on Monday if I still want it. I agreed. Need to tune!

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Good deal Dave. Glad it got settled in a reasonable manner. I'll have to check that Zeitronix out if you have it at the meet.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Should be here by Wednesday and will be in my car Wednesday afternoon!

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

good to hear man

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Sounds like this may end happily ever after :D.
Sucks when a new tool/toy is broken (OOBF) Out of box failure.
Kinda takes the wind outta your sails :-\

I know it always gets my panties in a bunch >:(

And hotrex dont start strokin yourself because I said panties.
Get a Grip on yourself. Maybe thats not a good idea :-\

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

He sent an email to me yesterday telling me that he got it and that he would have time to look at it on Monday, so I guess well see. I really need it, My buddy and I have no clue what kind of AFRs hes running on his civic right now other then checking the plugs after a WOT run (shutdown just b4 rev limit)....

Ill keep everyone updated.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Got an email today, the mico processor died or something, so they are sending me another one 3 day UPS! ;D I cant wait to get started tunning my buddies civic!

Blaze

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Mine was sent out today 2nd day air!

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

I just need mine by friday so we can get this thing dialed in and crank up the boost.... lol

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

My new one just ---- the bed. ---- this ----. I'm sending it back for good.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Werd?

That ------- blows, we'll I'll stop recommending those now :-\

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

I guess I'll look into the LM1 or PLX now :-\

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

how in the ---- have you gotten 2 duds? Thats lame. Mine works perfectly fine, and I think Jeff has had his for over a year.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

The second one worked fine for the first 10 minutes or so. I drove it logged some data and then stopped to reburn my chip. I started the car again and it never worked from then on.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

you had it wired to switched power right? it wasnt sitting powered on with no signal to it?

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

I sure hope mine is not defective, because I bought it 6 months ago while I was in Iraq and I just installed it, and it does not work, so I will be out of luck because its been so long. just want to check with my friend to see if it works in his car, since he has one that works.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

My cigarette lighter is switched power.

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Personally I think this post is bullshit. First i've heard of problems with these units. It seriously sounds like you wired it wrong. Everyone i've known who wired it to the switched power on their ecu has had it work fine; ever consider that it was a bad idea to wire it to the 12v+ on the cigarrette lighter?? ::)

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

Well, seeing as there are 6 or 7 threads with the word ZEITRONIX in the title right now on this forum, I'm starting to think that maybe he had a bad batch come off the assembly line or something.

Something just doesnt seem right...

Re: Zeitronix brand new defect.
 

I run mine that way without issues, AbaZ runs his that way with no issues. I don't see the voltage source being a part of this problem. I am kinda with xenocron on this one, bad batch off the assembly line.
