I use a datalogger and dash from the company Race Technology.

Race Technology sold the display with what they name "Vems interface", without testing. Unfortunately it does not work.

Warning: only purchase from Race Technology after they show a video of the given unit with a given Race-tech firmware version working with the intended device

Alternative displays that can, for sure, read the AIM stream and display it properly:


Protocol details

Race Technology just analysed a new set of data from my ECU and they confirmed that the output of the v3 does not match the protocol from the pdf!!!! Here is a link to our e-mail correspondance: http://www.vems.hu/files/HankMoody/AIM-RT.pdf

They mention that the v3 outputs unknown messages in the column 0. Which is indintifiers in HEX, anybody know what that means?

Here is a link to a txt file with my logged output:

It seems there are more channels streaming from my v3! I also see activity on channels 224-229 in my data. What are theese channels used for?


Im running v3 firmware 1.1.96

Some of the channels within the AIM datasream are correct.

order Race Tech with "Motec interface" (wether used for Motec or VEMS) not with what they call "VEMS interface" (because latter is sold by Race-Tech untested, and it does not work, and not needed anyway)

Thanks for the well documented answers.

Race Tech offers a few different kinds of interfaces for the MO-Tec ECUs. One CAN interface and 3 different serial interfaces.

I believe I can confirm that the Race Technology dash does not use the AIM signal. Sometimes (very random) I can get some of the channels working, but only when the AIM-signal is turned OFF in the v3. When the AIM-signal is turned ON, nothing is working! Someone once reported that the v3 sends out the AIM signal, eventhough the AIM-signal is turned OFF? I guess not?
