For about 6 months now I've had what seems to be a relatively useless piece of great Japanese technology, an Apexi RSM with G-Sensor. Having had several mechanics and auto-electricians trying to install it for me...but no luck, something to do with frequency?
Anyway, I noticed Pilo now sells them, so maybe soemone else out there may have had more luck than I did trying to get the damn thing to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am getting one next week. I will have the instruction done hopefully by next week, I will be leaving the country on a buisness trip around the 20th for a week, and I will try to get it done before then.

Thanks,
Dan

I have gotten it installed. I will be working on instructions this weekend. The install is pretty easy once you locate every thing. I am using the Pilo Racing Tach adapter as teh RPM signal, and the speed signal from the car. When I get a chance to compile my data, I will post it.

I am just about done with the instructions... I am so busy right now. I am preparing for a magazine shoot that is coming up for a feature on my car, as well as working on some other marketing things. I will try to get these. If you want to order the unit, I will e-mail you the PDF when finished. The Tach Adapter instructions are done already and are in my forum.

Here are some pictures of the finished install.






The instructions are pretty much set, so order when ever you are ready.
