Product Information

Full details

The AIM Motorsport MXS 1.3 Strada Light Dash is designed for motorsport enthusiasts and tuners who need essential data from their vehicle's CAN ECU and 4 analogue inputs, offering a cost-effective alternative to models with more extensive input options. Its key benefit is providing a clear, configurable 5" colour TFT display for real-time monitoring of critical engine parameters, lap times, and custom data fields. A potential caveat is its limited analogue input count compared to other MXS variants, making it ideal for setups where CAN data is primary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The MXS 1.3 Strada Light Dash connects directly to your vehicle's ECU via its CAN channel using the provided 23-pin AMP connector and harness. For applications requiring additional sensor inputs, an optional harness with 4 x analogue binder connections can be specified. Configuration of display pages, alarms, and shift lights is managed through AIM's free RaceStudio software, which requires a download from the AIM website. Ensure you have the latest version of the software to access all features and updated ECU drivers.

Compatibility: This dash logger is compatible with over 1000 different ECUs. Always verify your specific ECU model is supported by AIM's driver list, available on their website or within the RaceStudio software. The unit is available in two versions: 'Street Icon' for standard vehicle symbols and 'Race Icon' for track-focused, configurable warnings.

Care: The 5" TFT display should be cleaned gently with a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the screen surface. Ensure all connections are secure and protected from moisture and vibration. Store the unit in a cool, dry place when not in use. Periodically check for software updates via RaceStudio to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
