The PLX R500 is a wideband device iirc?

For a knock monitor, these are great: Phormula Knock Analysers - Best Prices

Prices are on the website, if you sign up to the newsletter first it contains a £10.00 discount code

Straight forward to fit, either fit sensor to inlet manifold or directly onto the block. You've got the rest covered

If you have a recent Simtek you don't need a Knock Monitor because the Simtek does it for you and flashes Check Engine Light.

If you really are that keen on a knocklink, there are other suppliers out there.
