Default Mxl2 what harness ?!

My last car came with a dash new one won't

Does the harness that comes with the dash have 4 analog inputs (bps, tps, oil press, water temp) or do you have to buy the extended harness?

Same question re cameras will be running 3

The dash comes with a harness that has 4 analog inputs, 1 speed, 1 CAN input, AiM expansion, power, ground (off the top of my head).

The expansion harness adds 4 analog inputs, 2 digital outs, a second CAN, rs232.

For the cameras, you will need a data hub that will go into the expansion plug and then the gps and 3 cameras will go into the data hub.

The 22 pin expansion harness (have 2 in stock) has 4 AV inputs, 2 additional wheelspeeds, One Digital out and a second CAN.

As Matt says on the Data Hub, but I will tell you that the Data Hub WILL NOt supply enough power to keep all three cameras charged, ESPECIALLY the GP (smaller battery). You will need a second Data Hub with 12V power or a 5-pin power cable with diode and another Data Hub to make this work.

I have more than three dozen multi camera setups out there and this is a known issue.

That GP was the one I just bought from you (thanks got it in mail)

So we just get a powered hub and problem solved?

$65 shipped. If you were running two cameras, I’d sell
you a cable, with three, you need an extra port. Connect to switched power and
you’re good to go!
