VI Monitor is the leading engine monitoring, diagnostic and performance data correlation device on the market today. VI Monitor allows you to monitor engine and data functions normally reserved for garages with expensive diagnostics equipment, and it will also check your vehicle’s fault codes and reset them if you wish. VI Monitor also enables you to gauge your vehicle’s performance characteristics, including G measurements, timing readouts and dyno testing. With newer vehicles becoming ever more electronically sophisticated there is more data than ever before available, but accessing it, up to now, has not been easy... VI Monitor gives you that information. It works by reading the datastream from the car's engine management system via the OBD II port.
- Compatible with most OBD II compliant vehicles (by receiving its data via the On-Board Diagnostics v.II port, VI is virtually universal) - you should check with your vehicle manufacturer to confirm OBD II compliance
- High Definition Touch Screen Display
- Audible Speed & RPM Warnings
- User-Adjustable Shift Lifts
- Self-Damping 3 Axis G Meter
- Acceleration & Braking Performance Tests
- Installs in seconds and can be moved from car to car
- VI Monitor is accurate to within hundredths of a second (proven in live tests at Santa Pod Raceway)
- Real Time Monitoring of up to 15 Parameters (parameters dependant on vehicle) on Multiple Gauges
Monitor parameters such as RPM, speed, Throttle position, intake manifold pressure, water temperature, air intake temperature, air fuel ratios (Lambda) air flow rate, ignition advance fuel pressure, and many more.
- RPM & Speed Warnings with Shift Light
Avoid putting points on your licence with adjustable speed warnings. Use the RPM warnings in conjunction with the adjustable Shift Light feature to get the most from your engine’s performance.
- Performance Tests for Acceleration and Braking
Perform braking and acceleration tests such as 0-60, 1/4 mile and 0–60–0 to measure your car’s true performance. Most tests can be triggered for unparalleled accuracy. Each test is recorded for future comparison. Self-Damping 3 Axis G-Sensor Highly accurate G-Sensor with built-in damping monitors acceleration, braking and cornering G forces. Also records maximum G readings.
- Data Logging
Record over 500 hours of engine and performance data on any parameters for review. Then upload the data to your computer for comparison. Ideal for measuring the effectiveness of modifications and recording driver’s performance.
- Descriptive Fault Code Diagnostics
Got an Engine warning light, but don’t know why? VI gives you the fault code number and a brief description of the problem, giving you with more information to take to your garage or tuner.
- Timing
Simple stop/start timing feature allows you to record your times for later comparison on a computer.
- MIL Stats
VI allows you to reset fault codes yourself. It also maintains a complete MIL stats history, including time and distance since the engine warning light was activated or reset.
- Dyno Testing
Using a built-in Virtual Dynamometer, VI can test your vehicle’s true net horsepower in real-world conditions.
- VI Desktop Comparison Software
VI Monitor comes with PC software for downloading and comparing data. View your performance data as numbers or graphs.
- Powering the VI
VI takes its power directly from the OBD-II, so there is no need to plug in a cable to the cigarette lighter socket. Having just one cable (OBD-II) for all of it's needs reduces clutter in the vehicle.
VI Monitor is a sophisticated engine monitoring and performance measuring device designed for modern cars with sophisticated engine ECU systems. It works by collecting data via your vehicle’s original OBD II port and then displaying that data on its high resolution 3.5” touch screen display. Also built into the VI Monitor is a highly accurate 3 axis G sensor. This allows the VI Monitor to display your longitudinal and lateral G’s, and when used in partnership with the OBD II information can also record performance statistics for your vehicle including ¼ mile times and acceleration & braking statistics. Another feature that makes the VI Monitor such a useful instrument is the built in diagnostic tool.
When your vehicle’s ECU detects an engine fault it illuminates the dashboard warning light to alert you to the fault. This usually requires you to take your vehicle to a main dealer for diagnosis and correction of the fault, potentially costing a great deal of money. With the VI Monitor you can now diagnose these faults on your own driveway. Armed with the knowledge of what the fault is you can either take it to the dealership for instant correction (saving yourself the cost of diagnosis) or for the competent mechanic you can correct the fault at home and then reset your engine warning light.
