Let me explain the two versions for the Mercedes:

The first gauge communicates with the ECM (Engine control module), using the ISO protocol used by Mercedes. The second communicates with the TCM (transmission control module) and uses the CAN protocol. This is the first application that we've seen that has two protocols on the same car, thus the need for two gauges unless you don't care to monitor the trans parameters.

There is no wideband specific gauge. Both the ECM and TCM gauges have 2 analog inputs which can be used to connect to our or any other wideband kit. A conversion is entered into the gauge to convert the voltage to A/F ratio. These inputs can be used with temp sensors, pressure sensors, EGT etc. Aeroforce sell wideband kits if you dont already have one.

We have a third gauge called the Analogic, this one does not connect to the OBD2 port. It has four 0-5v inputs and 2 EGT inputs. This is a good choice if you are adding a lot of additional sensors or have a pre-OBD2 car.

Listed Below are some of the PID's available for each gauge:

 

you guys will be pleased with this.

 

Hmmmmm tempting

 

Are there different options for colors? And they come with the Amg logo? That's pretty cool. I will definitely be ordering one or two.

 

So for wide band it would be the gauge plus the wide band kit?

 

If you dont have an existing wideband, and want to bye one from Aeroforce, you are correct sir.

If you have an existing wideband, it can be integrated with the ECM gauge.

 

I posted this in the other thread but will the mount setup in the video be available.

 

Currently there is no mount setup provided by aeroforce.

Andrew, there are four display colors:

White
Red
Green
Blue

 

How do you link to the ECU and TCU? Do you plug into the OBDII port, or splice wires?
Interested in purchasing, but I'm curious to learn more on how to install them?

 

pics added up top.

 

I know the ECM uses OBD2, but how do you hook up the TCU gauge?

 

 

It simply plugs into the OBDII port, and if you get both the ECM and TCM gauges, you will get a special splitter dual cable

Also, the standard face gauge has the Aeroforce plate, if you want the AMG lettering on the plate, that will be $10 extra.

 

Compatible with my M?

 

Can we get a picture of the actual OBD2 plug? I would hate if it stuck out where my leg would bump it etc..

 

here is mine cant wait to install it but im gonna be snowed in

 

Looks good brotha, you just going with the ECM with integrated wideband

What are your plans for mounting?

 

prob not going to do wide band i do have one in the car for my zeitronix i have a single gauge pod with shardul being put together. was going to do a ac vent but i think the pillar will be nice.

 

Hi

I am going to buy the ECM version of this. I am just waiting to see some pics of how and where people are going to mount these.

Regards,

No Brainer bro... See Shardul: https://mbworld.org/forums/sl55-amg-...pods-pics.html

 

PM sent.
This is where I plan to install mine:

 

Yup that is what he is making but to match your suede not in CF.

 

I think it would be neat if we could cut the clock out of the IC and throw this badboy in... Way to impractical though

 

That is NASTY Alex! Where did you get that done?

 

I have been running a pair (Tranny & Engine) of prototype gauges on a 2005 Merk 600 SL for a number of months. The Transmission gauge has beem working without a hitch and was ready to go on the 600 as I received it originally. I spend most of the time watching Temperature and Converter Slip and ocasionally Gear position and Torque. On a long Highway Trip you can compare Torque to Speed and adjust your cruise control for maximum MPG. The Iso gauge worked for the most part but was a pain to set up in Cyclic mode. A couple of phone calls and a shipment back to AF for a Reprogram/Reflash and it was returned. Found it to be much more friendly when storing Cyclic Scan parameters. The second thing that I found was that it didn't want to display Intake Boost/Vacuum(MAP) on the 600. Another phone call or 2 and back the gauge went for further reprogram and flash. Back it came in a several days and now it had a very cool Boost Air Pressure parameter on it's menu. When you bring it up you have both a digital numeric output and a Bar Graph at the bottom of the display. When you uncork the throttle on a 600 things can get a little exciting from the drivers position so the bargraph is what I keep an eye on. This feature is really a great addition and makes the 2 gauges a dynamite addition to the Twin Turbo cars. For the most part I watch Oil and Coolant temperature along with Inlet and Manifold air temp. I have the Red Alarms set at 210 Degree Coolant and 220 degree Oil. I found it best to feed both gauges with switched 12v rather than try to pull it from the OBD2 with the gauge jumper in place. On both occasions when I sent the gauges back for reflash I was really uncomfortable driving the car. I like to know what's going on under the hood!
A final point is that in my experiance with aftermarket accessory vendors I have never worked with any that came close to the team at AeroForce. They are very very smart and take perfect care of their customers. A real find in this day and age......
