Not to miss the trend of Black Friday Deals - I'm throwing these out there -

• Use coupon TPMS to get 15% off a TPMS system.
• Buy any dash/logger and get a free TPMS
• Buy any PDM and get a free TPMS
• Email me for a deal on a complete IR tire temp system
• Let me know what you want that doesn't fit the above and we'll figure something out!

I have good supply of everything and love to get people going with data. With the release of the LapSnap app, you can now use analyze your AiM data on your phone or tablet, dive deep on the computer, and use the great tools in RS3A to really improve your driving, monitor your vehicle health, and develop the chassis if you want. Let me know how I can help you out!

Have really enjoyed and benefited from the TPMS system (Matt put together in a nice one stop bundle) I added into my Aim set up this year. Having TPMS data in the MXL 2 display when on out laps and pushing (in realtime) is helpful and when added to graph data post analysis is insightful. At such a low cost to entry, why wait, get some today! Still learning.

Matt helped a lot with answering questions, highly recommended for track cars that do not have this data or have it easily accessible (buried in OEM dash display warnings).

Hi,

What TPMS or infared system work with a basic AIM dash? I am assuming infrared tire probe is probably better than the TPMS as far as usefulness?

Matt Romanowski

Which dash? If it's a current RS3 programmed dash, both will work. Honestly, I think the TPMS is more useful for many people. The data is easier to understand and make action plans from. It's also cheaper and easier to put on the car. The same ideas you use when you take your tire pressure in pit road is presented in the data, but you get the benefit of being able to compare it to G forces, seeing how long the tires take to come up to pressure, how fast they drop down, and you don't need anyone on pit lane to help!

Mxm dash? Can the $240 tpms set work with it?

On the ECU CAN. No CAN2 on the MXm.

Matt Romanowski

The MXm only has 1 CAN, so it's labeled as ECU. If you are not using it with your ECU, you can use it for the TPMS. If you are using it for the ECU, you may be able to put the TPMS with it, but it's very dependent on the car.

The TPMS is $225 before the sale. It's only $180 with the discount. A killer deal IMHO.

I am currently getting the RPM from the ECU on that line. Does that mean I can't use this TPMS? For $180 I am willing to do it, heck I mean using it as insurance in case a tire goes down right

Matt Romanowski

Do you have RPM connection or an ECU connection? What car is it installed in? If you are just using the RPM connection, you can put the TPMS on CAN easily.

I think that line is from the ecu as I can get rpm and water temp from it? I believe it is the ecu k line. I didn’t touch the fan + and -. Does that help? Does that work?

Matt Romanowski

It sounds like you are using this connection for the k line. Boxster data is usually pretty slow, but that could be what you have. If you can send your config or post a screen shot, we can figure out for sure. Feel free to give me a call and I'll walk you through checking.

For rpm it seems to be okay as I use the same line for my shift light. Water temp does update once every 5 or 10 sec, but I think it should be okay for what I do. The can + and - on the mxm doesn’t connect to anything. Can the tpms connect to it? I will call you tomorrow as I know it is getting late

You should be able to connect the TPMS to the CAN + and CAN - lines. That’s what I’m planning to do with my TPMS connecting to an MXL2 in my ‘98 Spec Boxster.

Matt Romanowski

He and I connected yesterday. He's using the K Line connection to get RPM and water temp, so that is using the ECU connection.
