The Motorcycle VIM Module is manufactured in the UK by AIM Technologies.

The Motorcycle VIM Module (Vehicle Interface Module) is a small compact input device, providing a simple way to input voltage signals to the dash.The module allows for connection of lights, left and right indicators, dipped beam, main beam, hazard warning, in fact up to 14 independent voltage inputs, that are then sent to the display or logger through the CAN II stream, allowing you to turn on the symbols or lights on the display.

The VIM Expansion adds up to 14 freely configurable analogue channels without occupying or modifying any of the existing system channels, leaving them free for anything else. This simply goes next to the fuse box, and picks up the 12v signal to the light to turn the lights on the dash on. It leaves the 4 analogue ones free, if needed in  future Connection Examples

VIM

By using advanced CAN technology, wiring is simplified from four cables into just a single connection, thereby reducing possible and unnecessary points of failure.

Instructions Race Studio Setup

  • Open RS3 Go to the Spanner in the top left

Part 2

  • Whilst in RS3, go to the dash configuration screen of your logger / Display and select CAN 2 stream
  • Then select the Aim Tech Switch Input Module


Here you will see all 14 input channels, for ease we will select channel 1, and use it for the indicators, so simply click on it, and change the name

install pt2

Once selected, go to the alarms page, and create a new alarm for CAN2
You will see all channels here, as named

install pt 2a

Next, choose the Indicators tab, and set up the alarm as below, so every time the VIM sends out a signal to the dash, it turns on the LED

install pt 2b

 Repeat this for every input you want to show on the display or data.

Simply wire up the VIM as follows,

  • CAN2 to the Logger
  • Power and ground
  • Each input takes a single 12v feed

install 4


It’s as simple as that!

By using advanced CAN technology, wiring is simplified from four cables into just a single connection, thereby reducing possible and unnecessary points of failure. Works with most Dash and Data Loggers vim tech 1 vim tech 2
