However, can confirm the fit, because still waiting for the Schroth harnesses. Few users successfully fitted it into the 380 and 410. Thanks, I had the SL V bar in my Exige but was looking for a straight bar for the Elise Cup. I still have it for sale if anyone is looking for one.

Mark030358 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 There is a new bar coming out for Exige’s with the carbon seats. I’ve had one on order for three months. Hopefully will rock up in a month or so. This gets around the eyelet issue and properly located the harness straps. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFWilliams Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 MSAR get them from @Seriouslylotus I believe. Dave at SeriouslyLotus did mention to me that he has a new version in stock which fits with the Lotus Carbon seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toqcars Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 When the new version came out? Is there any distinctive difference that’s easily noticable between the versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real difference between them other than the 'V' part has different dimensions to the previous version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I understand its should be taped to inside side of top binnacle, correct? Any updates - is it working for you? Have you managed to test the GPS/track features? Edit: Any installation tips?

Inversed Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Sadly haven't gotten to it yet, my car was on run-in service few days ago and I didn't want to poke too much into car before it passed that. Hopefully I manage to do it in following weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyKL Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Any tricks to get the gps module working? Installed mine today but it’s like it’s not even connected. Fixed as securely as possible. Wonder if I’ve got a dud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martrack Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 My first attempt to connect the GPS09 module did not work. But as said here, be sure to properly / fully screw the GPS module connector, otherwise it won't work. You have to push the connector into the dash, screw it, push again, screw again... until you can't push / screw anymore. Seems like contact is made almost at the end... And it worked for me 👍 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once working I guess the track/gps automatically becomes enabled when the dash is switched on? 1 hour ago, Inversed said: Installing today, will report. Good luck.

And you see GPS status indications at the bottom of the main screen (GPS: SEARCH / GOOD...). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmaurer Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) I had to return my dash and GPS that I bought in early Feb to AIM as it had a faulty GPS module... Also worth noting I tried to fix it by applying the recent v02.34.75 firmware update but there is a bug that stops the mph speed conversion from working. You will get kph ok but mph just stays as zero on the readout. The workaround is to setup a custom field for your ECU speed using Racestudio3. AIM are aware of the v02.34.75 mph bug as I ran a few tests with their support team and they confirmed it will need a firmware update again to fix... Hopefully that won't take too long.

Inversed Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) I did installation today + I have raised steering wheel for about 1.5cm (3 washers). I needed to sand some of top shroud part off for raise not to rub. It's a lot better. About GPS module, quite easy install, tricky part is removing binnacle. It just needs a good pull, a bit scary when you are doing it first time. I tightened up GPS module well with fingers, nothing really dramatic. Plugged it in while everything was still apart, it worked straight away. Track & GPS menu is selectable, looks like all tracks are already imported, but I'll have to delete most as they don't get sorted by proximity - quite silly. There There is notification about GPS signal quality always on dash. You can also enable Timer on dash, which shows lap number and time. If track is not selected, it still works. It just resets everytime car stops. Haven't tested it on track yet - there is trackday coming up next weekend.

TonyKL Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Congrats. Mine was definitely secured as much as possible (even used tools to tighten) but no joy. Hope I have a faulty gps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inversed Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 (edited) Today I've connected laptop to my Lotus FE dash with GPS fitted via Race Studio app. Process is very simple and works really well. I would suggest changing wifi password or turning wifi off every time you are done, otherwise someone can troll you and lock you out of the system by changing password. When GPS09 module is connected car is constantly logging data apparently. "Lap" and also dash timer resets everytime car comes to full stop. I've downloaded few logs to check out what info we get. There is plenty of ECU data which is great, most imporantly: - rpm - vehicle speed - each wheel speed - current steering angle - engine temp - other variables (doors open, light settings, ecu mode, abs light, tc light and much more) Data from GPS: - location - GPS speed - sensor temperature - G-forces - orientation I didn't find % for throttle/brake application, probably not available. Here is a screenshot from random city drive today. Edited March 8 by Inversed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Paul_D Posted March 8 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 8 I’m surprised throttle isn’t there. Have a look for ECU PPS. (Pedal position sensor) Theres no brake %, but there should be a brake switch on/off log if it’s the same as the aftermarket AIM dash.

Inversed Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 You sir are correct, didn't realise PPS stands for that. And yeah, brake switch is there aswell. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
