AIM Wiring

    Thank you Ahmed Khan, Shaun Cottingham and Andrew (Ultima) for helping build these lists!

    AIM 14 Pin Connector 
    • Yellow: labeled "Reserved" (do not connect)
    • Red & Black terminated: connect to Red/Black on Rio harness
    • White Can 1+: connect to engine harness G (Tan/Black)
    • Blue Can 1-: connect to engine harness A (Tan)
    • CAN Exp: connect to RIO
    • USB connector: run to the luggage bin

    AIM 23 Pin Connector
    Analog connections (these are different from Ultima's instructions)
    Connect the following sensor wires which run through the right side luggage box out the back.
    • CH1: connect to Fuel Pressure sensor
    • CH2: connect to the Oil Pressure sensor
    • CH3: connect the 2nd temp sensor (same as water one) to the oil tank
    • CH4: connect to Water Temp sensor (fit the sensor to the H tube on the heater line)
    • CH5 (black/green wire): connect to the same color wire on the Fuel Gauge connector (#29) Note: Light/Green, Black & Red/Black are not used.
      UPDATE: Ultima simply cut off the end of the AIM channel, extended only the white wire (with a green/black wire) and hid the other 2 wires in the heat shrink. This will NOT work. The fuel senders are sending ohms and the AIM cannot read resistance values...it needs voltage values. This is accomplished with a pull-up resistor. This AIM document explains how to do it.
      Here's what I did:
      1) Order these resistors.
      2) Cut off Ultima's connection to expose the 3 AIM wires.
      3) Connect AIM black to #29 black.
      4) Connect AIM blue to resistor side with blue stripe.
      5) Connect AIM white to #29 green/black AND resistor side with gold stripe.
      6. Empty your fuel tank, connect AIM and view live data with mV displayed. Write down that value. Add 1 gal/liter of fuel and write down the new value (be sure to wait a minute for the fuel to balance). Repeat this until the tank is full. Use these values to setup a Custom Sensor in RaceStudio. The values will not be linear.
      Note: Ultima told me the fuel senders sends 2.1 ohms for full and 71.9 ohms for empty, but you really need to get your own values.
    • CH6-CH8: not used
    • Speed -1: connect to the AIM speed sensor (provided that bolts to the drive shaft)
    • RPM (white wire): connect to Engine Harness #3 (white wire). This is the Engine Speed.

        ECU

        Tips

        • My LT4 ECU didn't have mounting holes. Fortunately ICT makes a really nice billet mounting tray.
        • I installed a set of distribution blocks in the luggage container. It's super convenient and clean with the ECU, amps, and rearview mirror/camera all needing connections.

        Front Bulkhead Power

        Tips

        • A friend recommended I install a breaker as an extra safety. In the case of a malfunction (e.g. starter locks and tries to draw too much power), this prevent a dangerous about of power. I got this one on Amazon for $27. Also, it's super easy to turn power on/off when you need to work with the wiring.
        • I needed power for 4 wires: starter, wiring loom, engine harness and stereo (distribution block). I added a 2 post terminal to handle this. The battery connects to the breaker and that connects to the 2 post terminal. Notice the left post has the starter cable so the power doesn't need to flow through the terminal.

        Stereo

        Tips

        • If you install speakers by your knees (e.g. 6-1/2"), cut the holes when you're doing the paneling. It's much easier then.
        • I installed JBL Fuse subwoofers behind my seats. They barely fit and should add some good bass!
        • Most stereos disable the "Setup" menu unless you have the hand brake on. Some manufacturers will let you bypass it if you simply ground the wire, but some require the brake to be pulled twice (to avoid simply grounding). My Alpine deck wanted the latter action so I bought this bypass switch on eBay for $10. It was super easy to wire up and works great.

        Rearview Mirror

        Tips

        • Mounting the mirror is pretty easy. Mounting the rearview camera is easy too. I ordered a 2" x 2" black plastic "L" bracket from Amazon and secured it to the body and camera with very strong double sided tape.
