The AiM MXm is the most compact model in the AiM MX dash logger family. At 137 × 88 × 32 mm and 330 g, it fits where a 5-inch TFT display cannot — motorcycle fairings, kart steering columns, and restricted single-seater cockpit panels. The graphical display with 7-colour RGB backlight and ambient light sensor adjusts brightness automatically for outdoor use.
Unlike the MXS, MXP, and MXG which use external GPS09 modules, the MXm has an integrated GPS receiver. Four analogue inputs at 1,000 Hz — the same sampling rate as the MXP and MXG — handle the sensors most commonly used on compact builds: pressure transducers, temperature probes, and lambda controllers. Two CAN buses provide ECU connection on the primary CAN and expansion devices (SmartyCam, lambda, modules) on the second CAN. Two 20 A digital outputs support relay switching — higher current rating than the outputs on the MXS and MXP.
Data logs to 4 GB of internal storage and downloads via Wi-Fi to Race Studio 3. The 37-pin motorsport connector plus 4-pin power connector is the same AMP-compatible format used across AiM’s compact product range.

FAQ
Does the MXm need an external GPS module?
No. The MXm has an integrated GPS receiver — unlike the MXS, MXP, and MXG which require the external GPS09 module. Lap timing and track detection work without any additional hardware.
Why choose the MXm over the MXS?
The MXm is significantly smaller and lighter (137 × 88 mm, 330 g vs 169 × 97 mm, 480 g) and has integrated GPS. The MXS has a full 5-inch TFT screen, 8 analogue inputs, and 10 shift LEDs — better for car cockpits where screen readability is a priority. Choose the MXm for motorcycles, karts, and any install where physical size is the primary constraint.
Can I connect a SmartyCam to the MXm?
Yes. The SmartyCam 3 connects to the MXm via the expansion CAN bus. With 2 CAN buses, the MXm supports ECU CAN on the primary bus and the SmartyCam or one other CAN expansion device simultaneously.
What analogue sensors can I connect to the MXm?
The four analogue inputs accept 0–5 V and 0–12 V sensors at up to 1,000 Hz each: pressure transducers, thermocouples, potentiometers, and any standard motorsport sensor. For builds needing more than 4 additional sensor channels beyond the ECU, add an AiM ACC2 Open expansion module.
