Product Information

Full details

The AiM MXS 1.3 Strada Light Dash is designed for motorsport enthusiasts and road users who need essential real-time vehicle data visualization. Its primary benefit is offering core features of the advanced MXS 1.3 at a more accessible price point, focusing on CAN ECU connection and 4 analogue inputs. A potential caveat is its limitation of only 4 analogue inputs compared to the standard MXS 1.3's 8, making it ideal for setups prioritizing ECU data over numerous external sensors. Key features include a vibrant 5" TFT display, customizable pages, flexible shift lights and alarms, and camera inputs for enhanced visibility.

FAQs

What is the main difference between the MXS 1.3 Strada Light and the standard MXS 1.3?

The MXS 1.3 Strada Light is a more cost-effective version that includes CAN ECU connection and 4 analogue inputs, whereas the standard MXS 1.3 offers 8 analogue inputs.

How do I connect the dash to my car's ECU?

Connection is typically made via the vehicle's CAN bus using the provided harness. The specific wiring may vary by ECU, so consult the AiM RaceStudio software and your vehicle's documentation.

Can I display data from external sensors not connected to the ECU?

Yes, the dash supports up to 4 analogue inputs, which can be used for external sensors. An optional harness with additional binder connectors is available if more analogue inputs are needed.

What is the "Street Icon" version for?

The "Street Icon" version is designed for road use and includes a range of standard vehicle icons (fuel, oil pressure, water temperature) for easy recognition of common parameters.

What is the purpose of the "Race Icon" version?

The "Race Icon" version is focused on track/competition use. It features non-specific warning LEDs that can be fully configured using the RaceStudio software to display custom alerts based on performance data.

Does the dash include GPS functionality?

The dash itself does not include GPS. However, GPS functionality for lap timing and track mapping is available by adding the optional GPS09 Module.

How do I update the ECU drivers or dash firmware?

Updates for ECU drivers and firmware are managed through the AiM RaceStudio software. Connect your dash to a computer, launch RaceStudio, and follow the prompts for updates.

Can I record data with this dash?

The MXS 1.3 Strada Light dash is primarily a display unit. For data logging, you would typically need to connect it to a separate AiM logger or utilize an optional logger module if available and compatible.

Troubleshooting

Dash does not power on

Verify the power connection to the dash and ensure the vehicle's battery has sufficient voltage. Check the fuse for the power supply.

No data from ECU

Confirm the ECU driver in RaceStudio software matches your vehicle's ECU. Ensure the CAN wiring is correctly connected to both the ECU and the dash. Verify the ECU is transmitting CAN data.

Display is unreadable in bright sunlight

Ensure the ambient light sensor is not obstructed. The display's backlight should adjust automatically; if not, manually adjust brightness settings in RaceStudio.

Shift lights or alarms not activating

Check the configuration in RaceStudio software to ensure thresholds are set correctly and linked to the appropriate channels. Verify the RGB LEDs are assigned to the correct functions.

Camera input not displaying

Ensure the camera is correctly connected to the analogue camera input and powered. Verify the camera input is enabled and configured within the dash settings via RaceStudio.
