I have worked with Apex Pro to bring SVMC members a great discount on the Apex Pro system. Discount info is below but first let’s talk about what Apex Pro is…..
I have used this for over a year and love it. This device and smartphone app can not only be a great and simple way to get your lap times, but the real power in this setup is that it shows predictive grip compared to the amount of grip you are actually using in real-time! I don’t think there is another system that does this. So how this works is that you buy the Apex Pro device (a small bar with LED lights) that is packed with GPS, accelerometers, gyroscope, and a slick algo. It will then calculate (in real-time) the predictive grip your car has on that track at that spot at that moment and then show you with the LEDs how much of the grip you are effectively using. What you are not using is your room for improvement as a driver.
That device can (but it doesn’t have to be) paired with a smartphone app which is free. If you do pair it with a smartphone it will act as a dead simple lap timer for you with some pretty slick data logging and analysis tools. This is an inexpensive, wireless, way of getting some good data on how you are driving. You can go a step further and pair the Apex Pro and app with an OBDII adapter to then get even more measurements (car sensors) to analyze later. You can also use the smartphone app as an AUX display while you are driving.
What I love about this is that it is simple, wireless, inexpensive, and can be used as your only data logging system or as a separate system augmenting your AIM or VBOX or what ever pro data logging system you are using. The predictive grip compared to actual grip is a measurement those other systems generally don’t provide and certainly don’t provide it in real-time to the driver……as they are driving.
$30 off Apex’s OBDII Interface with the code “obdtester” - Purchase Now
So now that you are excited about getting an Apex Pro here is the discount. If you go to their website and put in the following code “obdtester” you will get $30 off Apex’s OBDII Interface. That OBDII can be used without the Apex Pro LED unit if you simply want sensor data but I would highly recommend getting the Apex Pro system with the OBDII adapter. The OBDII adapter is regularly $129 but if you use the SVMC code “obdtester” it will only cost $30.
The APEX Pro OBDII interface fits all OBDII compliant vehicles. Not only can you view real-time vehicle data in the OBDII Dashboard, diagnose check engine lights, and set 0-60 times, you can log all of the OBDII data for review. You can also use the new gear selector feature to show which gear you were using while on track.
The APEX Pro OBDII interface will log: Throttle Position (TPS), Engine RPM, Coolant Temperature, and MAP Pressure. OBDII channels do not include steering position or brake pedal pressure.
