AEM Gauge

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

Anyone running the AEM gauge with their AEM unit. If so, is it plug and watch?

I have one and think it's great. You will need to calibrate the psi parameter to match your map sensor and maybe customize some other things but everything you need to know is in the instructions or on their website.

[Joseph Dell]

yup. and you don't have to do that recalibration w/ the new version b/c it sets to your MAP sensor... if you have one that it knows about.

good luck!

need me to come up there and install it for you.

Bob,

Quick question...does your guage freeze at WOT?

Jo, I haven't had a chance to wire a serial connection directly to the AEM unit.

 

[Bob D]

Earl
Mine works perfectly. Is yours freezing up on all parameters or on just psi?
For my connection I used zip ties to secure the cable to the OBD2 port, coiled up the cable and tied it up out of the way and secured the serial end solidly under the dash. I can easily unplug the gauge and plug in the laptop when needed.
JD, It sounds like they have the newer versions more user friendly.

 

[Earl_H]

Yeah, its freezing up on all parameters. J. Dell gave me a recommended fix. I am going to try it this week to see what happens.

 

[carl B]

where do I get the gauge please?

 

[Neil - UK]

have a look at Joels AEM display Carl, it replaces the stereo you get digital displays of lots of readouts

 

[carl B]

Cheers Neil that is cool

Earl and Bob,

How did you run the cable for the serial cable and pull power for it?

Are you running the serial gauge? Where did you buy it at, and apox price?

Mark

 

[Bob D]

I got mine from HorsepowerFreaks.com for $274.50
AEM 30-4300
I powered it from the blue switched power wire at the ingnition switch.

 

[Joseph Dell]

I got mine from NOPI in smyrna, ga. Call and ask for Chris and tell him you are a viper guy. he'll hook you up. I vaguely recall mine being like 220 or 240...

Hey guys thanks, Joeseph, coming in next week?

Here is an install I did this past week, no cutting of the car required:

You must be registered for see images

I also have them in stock if anyone wants one.

I just got my serial guage from Horespowerfreaks.com. After following instructions I find out after calling AEM it plugs into the OBDII port. Okay I'll put my car back together. But now I read farther and find out it only works with firmware version 1.19 & newer. Lucky me! I have version 1.1 so I guess it doesn't work. Nice of them not to tell me BEFORE I bought the guage. Now it says you can download 1.9 off AEM site. Okay. But before doing there's all this conversion stuff to do. I'm somewhat computer friendly but this stuff looks mind boggling to me. All this stuff just to hook up a guage. Anyone else have these problems? Any volunteers to come up & get this thing hooked up? Maybe I'll just send it back.

 

[Joseph Dell]

The update from 1.1 to 1.19 is cake. the walk-through document is pretty idiot proof. If I could do it (which i did) then you can do it.

don't be afraid. you can always go back to 1.11

JD

 

[Earl_H]

Ditto...I did it, anybody can. No I have to get it to stop freezing on me.

 

[Venom 1000TT]

So did you first delete 1.1 ver. & then install 1.9 version & then install the guage? Or what steps in order did you take?

 

[Joseph Dell]

not to be snooty, but you can drive a 1000hp viper to a [email protected]... you can read the pdf file!

you use the convert button so that your 1.1 files are preserved...
