CAN to current MXL Pista is not possible because of single CAN bus and multiple CAN speed requirements. CAN connection to MXL2 is possible but receive only so brake pressures would be available but CAN wheel speeds would be irrelevant because of the tire diameter values missing. You can wire in the digital wheel speeds as long as you have the MXL2 auxiliary harness that have provisions for all 4 speed inputs. As Matt pointed out, we will need the help of Italy for a Teves template but it can be done. Let us know if you need help.
Not as direct as what you want, but it should work if I understand the problem correctly.

I haven't worked with the Teves, but you would be able to correct the wheel speeds in RS2 with an adjustment to the channel by changing the A variable in the linear equation. You could make this a standard channel when you import the data as long as the circumference number isn't constantly changing.

I do think the AiM MXL2/MXG/MXS will accept two different speed CAN inputs...

Correct Peter. The tire circumference and trim switch value is transmitted via CAN from the logger to the Teves. Only the Mk60E5 though. The Mk60 would does not need this information. The system still works, just not to its full potential.

Thanks, Joe.

Thank you all for the discussion. This is very helpful.
My MK60E5 works great without the communication (it was set up for the proper tire diameter), but it would be nice to get all of the pressure and wheel speed functionality.
Does the AiM MXL2 hardware have the potential to support transmit functionality and it just needs to be properly enabled (software/protocols?) by the AiM folks in Italy?
If a MXL2 can be made to work in this manner I will swap out my MXL Pista immediately, otherwise I am not sure it is worth the cost.
Cheers,

Krokodil, The boys from AIM are here in Charlotte this week at the Motorsport Expo. I am spending the day with them tomorrow at the show. I spoke with Josh from the AIM California office tonight and he said they have the MXL2/MXG/MXS Teves template ready and it just needs to be implemented into the firmware/software. The CAN transmit is in theory supposed to work but I still need clarification. Stay tuned, I will get exact release dates for you tomorrow along with pictures of the new MXS 5" color display.
We can work directly with them if they are interested as we have a car with a working MK60E, an existing MXL Pista, and a need for an MXL2.
Thanks again.

Excellent. Thank you. We are not far from Josh and the AiM folks in CA and the race shop (Vision) works with them quite a bit. The customer service is always excellent.

Thanks again.
