Advanced 7” Dash Display

The MXG Strada with race icons is one of the most widely used dash displays on tracks around the world. The MXG 1.3 Strada has a 7" colour TFT display that offers a great visual impact. You can configure the dash to show all the information coming from the ECU, analogue/digital inputs, predefined math channels and an optional GPS Module.

Why Choose the MXG 1.3 Strada 7” Dash Display

The MXG Strada Display is an HD digital display, designed for motorsport drivers who need essential data visibility while on the track or road. The dashboard is tailored to show real time data such as speed, RPM and temperatures, but doesn't include data logging functionalities natively.

Please Note: To expand the data logging capabilities of the MX Strada series dashes, an additional Strada Logger kit is required.

Easy Connection

The MXG 1.3 Strada is available with a choice of connections. Choose either the OBDII or K-Line CAN, depending on whether you want to connect to the car's ECU or OBDII port or directly to the ECU through the CAN channel.

You can sample and display dozens of channels straight from the ECU with only 2 cable connections to the ECU instead of multiple connections to analogue sensors. The sampled data depends on the actual ECU, but will typically include RPM, throttle position (TPS), oil, air, water temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, speed, gear, and lambda value (air/fuel ratio). The list of available ECU drivers is over 1,000 and is constantly being updated.

Digital Outputs

The MXG 1.3 Strada features a 1-AMP digital output configurable to be activated/deactivated depending on the value of the analogue/digital inputs or on the impulses coming from the car’s ECU. This allows you to automatically run external systems, such as switching on/off additional lights, to activate/deactivate a cooling fan or circulation pumps when a certain event happens.

With CAN output, you can send messages directly to an existing CAN network to improve the range of vehicle control possibilities.

Two analogue camera inputs are also available to switch your display into a mirror camera, through a push button command or event management. The camera is sold separately.

Load video: Delta times LED display feedback on the MXG 7 inch Strada Display

Delta Times

The Delta Times feature provides instant feedback on your performance, showing how your current timing compares to your best.

Set a reference lap and visualise where you are gaining and losing time. The integrated lights will display green or red accordingly.

Integrated Shift Lights & Customisable Alarms

The 10 multi-coloured RGB shift lights can be customised to your liking, defining the RPM threshold on analogue or digital inputs, ECU values, expansion values, math channels or optional GPS option. You can choose the conditions and colours, select a solid arm or a flashing one and the flashing frequency. You can also configure an accompanying text message and set the alarm priorities.

Display with Race Icons

The MXG 1.3 Strada has a 7" TFT high contrast colour display. The visual quality is optimised by the ambient light sensor, which keeps the backlight at the best brightness levels. Race icons allow you to apply conditions to the LED icons.

Pre-Configured Pages

The MXG 1.3 Strada shows the RPM scale and all the data you need, like speed, water temperature and oil pressure, lap times and much more. You can customise pages to suit your requirements, including up to four additional fields. Define what data is shown with the end of scale and measure units. Swapping between the pages is easy; just use the push buttons.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What does the MXG Strada do?

The Aim MXG Strada is a digital dash display that can be configured to show real time information from the car's ECU, analogue/digital inputs, predefined math channels and an optional GPS Module. It provides crucial information like lap times, gear, speed, RPM and engine temperatures on a high-contrast TFT screen.

What size is the MXG display?

The MXG features a 7", 800 x 480 pixel resolution display, making it one of the smallest displays in the MX Strada series.

What alarms can be set on the MXG Strada?

The MXG Strada comes with 8 customisable RGB LEDs, which are determined by inputs from the car's ECU or other sensors. The MXG Strada with race icons can be configured with alarms for gear position, lap time improvement, throttle position, low fuel, low oil pressure, low oil level and other customised alarms that have been set.

What are the best applications for the MXG Strada with race icons?

The MXP Strada with race icons is best suited to various motorsport setups, including track day cars, kit cars & competitive race cars.

What are the differences between the MXG logger and the MXG Strada?

The main difference between the MXG logger and the MXG Strada display is that the logger version has a built-in data logger. However, a Strada Logger can be purchased for the MXG Strada, which records data to an SD card. The MXG logger also has 2 digital outputs, whereas the Strada only has 1. For a full comparison of the MX Strada Series, take a look at the comparison tab.

How do I display gear information on my MXG Strada?

Selected gear information can be sourced by gear potentiometer, ECU stream message, or it can be calculated in real time by the MXG Strada through speed and RPM. Each mode requires a specific gear configuration.

How do you switch between pages on the Aim MXG Strada?

To switch pages on the Aim MXG Strada, first open our free Race Studio 3 software and then select the Page Configuration to customise each page. After choosing your selections, save your configurations and press the ">>" push button on the side of the device to switch between your pages.

How do I connect & configure my SmartyCam with MXG Strada?

To connect and configure your SmartyCam with MXG Strada, you need to connect the devices, set up the configuration in Race Studio 3, and then transmit the configuration to the device. First, ensure your SmartyCam has power and a formatted SD card. Next, launch Race Studio 3 on your PC, which will detect the devices. Then, go to the "Configurations" page to create a new configuration or edit an existing one and add the "SmartyCam Stream" layer. In this layer, you will associate the necessary functions with the channels and transmit the configuration to the device.

How do I connect my MXG Strada to my car’s engine control unit (ECU)?

Use the main harness and connect to the correct wires for your communication bus (CAN, RS232 or K-Line) by physically wiring the correct wires from your harness to the ECU's data ports and power/ground pins. Then, configure the connection in Race Studio 3 by selecting your ECU manufacturer and model under the "ECU Stream" tab.

How do I connect my MXG Strada to the car’s OBDII connector?

Use a dedicated OBDII wiring harness and configure the MXG Strada with Race Studio 3. The process involves a physical connection followed by software setup to identify your car's specific ECU protocol. More information can be found here.
