We will have it on the Unlimited car at the shootout as well, so we can demonstrate, show you the track mapping, etc.

Hey Guys I was thinking of going for one of these myself and removing the factory one and mounting this in its place just abit worried about the fuel reading. Can it tell if your fuel is low? I know a guy here in Ireland that has one and he says its real sensitive and it reads the fuel thanks being full all the time.

Let me know what ya think.

Cheers,

Paul.

I depends on if you want to do data acquisition beyond the capabilities of the AEM EMS. If all you want it a cool, configurable display, then the Strada is for you. But if you want to log additional info like g-forces, brake pressure, steering angle, etc. and are prepared to buy all the extra sensors needed, then the Pista or Pro is where you should be looking.

But for a time attack car go for the pista. Even if you dont use the channels now, its nice to have them when you decide to.

Great track mapping software, so nice to see what everything is doing, by the corner... by the second. Its great.

Go with da pista! (with my best italian accent)

Forget a bunch of expensive Gauges cluttering the car. Have it all viewable in one shot!!

Aim Digital Dash

The MXL race data acquisition is an excellent choice for race cars and street cars alike! The MXL Pista and Pro models are the same system used by world class GT cup cars and LeMans racers, however versatile enough to use in the mildest of street cars. We have currently been using the AiM Sports MXL Pista Digital dash in our Time Attack car and ran it for the entire One Lap of America event, we couldn’t be happier with the results.



This Digital Dash system not only displays all your vitals on one easy to view screen, but also logs them. Some of the finer points of this system are:



-1 AMP + 2 binder connectors

-Lap Times & Split Lap Times

-RPM - numerical and graphical display tach

-Max RPM stored for later recall

-Total Run Time

-Gear Position

-Total and partial odometer

-8 analog sensor inputs for temperature, pressure, lambda sond, potentiometers, etc.

-1 wheel speed input.

-128 kb of non-volatile memory.

-Brilliant blue display with backlight.

-6 fully configurable alarm LEDs.

-10 fully configurable shift LEDs.

-Requires 8-15V power from vehicle. Auto Power OFF feature.



Quote:
Along with being able to input readings from the factory ecu AiM Sports now offers plug and play digital displays that work with AEM engine management systems. AiM Sports’ digital race data acquisition systems are now fully compatible with all AEM engine management systems via a serial RS-232 connection. To enable the integration, AEM users must have firmware version 1.19 or higher. The plug and play simplifies installation of the MXL system as users need only install one harness between the MXL and the AEM ECU unit.



Once connected the MXL displays (and can record, depending on the model):

-RPM, boost (engine load / MAP)
-throttle position (TPS)
-air and water temperatures
-battery voltage
-speed
-gear
-2 lambda (fuel/air ratio) channels and 2 error channels.
-By using additional sensors (or tapping into existing ones) drivers can monitor other information via additional inputs on the MXL

View video of the Dash on our dyno here. REALLY cool stuff. Pay attention to the progressive shift light at the end.

we are also in the final stages of offering that mounting bracket viewed in the above video!!

Units range from $999 - $2299

Does this mean if you have the Aim Sport digital dash display, you wont need to buy the AEM Serial gauge display, to display all the 19 Channels that the AEM can monitor? Or is it only limited to the things you listed?

The AIM dash will only show what is listed. The AEM Serial port guage isnt a bad idea.

Keep in mind that they both need to hook up to the same serial port. I know the AEM serial gauge has a loop out for another gauge, but I am not sure how well the AIM dash will respond to being connected that way.

AEM claims that if you have more than 4 or 5 gauges chained together the refresh rate gets pretty slow and jumpy. I'm not sure what kind of load the AIM dash will present to the AEM serial port. It may work fine, but it may not, I have never tried it.

I'd love to find out if anyone has any experience with using both at the same time.
