What are the benefits of the AIM MX2E digital dashboard?
- Simple plug and play replacement of the oem dashboard and instrument binnacle.
- A complete digital solution for daily driving or track use.
- Track day lap timing and data logging.
Most Lotus owners take their sports cars to do track days either for fun or competitively. Using the AIM MX2E digital dashboard means you don’t need to use apps on your smartphone like Harry’s Laptimer, a GoPro with its built in GPS Data Logging and potentially avoid the expense of more expensive lap timing / data logging equipment like VBOX units.
While all of those other product solutions have their place the AIM MX2E delivers a unique blend of the latest digital display technology that can be used for daily driving but be customised to then suit track day use at the push of a button.
Can the AIM MX2E be installed at a car dealership in Australia?
Simply Sports Cars in Sydney or Melbourne can install the AIM MX2E digital dashboard for you and it can be done in under 2 hours. We don’t need to modify or cut into any part of your vehicle, we remove the OEM binnacle and dash, then replace it with the AIM MX2E and test/check that it is working correctly. Getting it installed by a car dealership also means it qualifies for a 2 year Lotus Parts Warranty.
What tracks are available to download into the AIM MX2E digital dashboard?
Being a digital product it means the AIM team have been able to install hundreds of racing circuits from around the world into the unit. Richard took his Lotus Exige Sport 410 to do a track day at Eastern Creek which was picked up instantly via the built in GPS unit.
Switching the vehicle on near a track, the module will automatically recognize the venue and start to download the start/finish coordinates and calculates lap times when these coordinates are crossed.
If the track is not in the database, it is possible to create and load it into the database using Race Studio 3 software, freely downloadable from AiM.
Drivers can download the start/finish line co-ordinates so they can calculate lap times, then analyse performance in real time on the digital display or later by downloading data to a laptop.
The system even features a camera input, allowing drivers to add an optional portable action camera to capture the action from each track day lap.
