Legends21 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I have a question for anyone who has installed a Traqmate on their 944: I purchased a Traqmate system from Apex Performance and I want to purchase the correct Input Adapter. They sell two types: 1) High Voltage Coil, 2) Electronic Ignition. I am planning on talking the tachometer signal off the DME, which drives the coil. Since this is “electronic” ignition control, I thought the correct adapter is number 2 above. Is that the correct adapter to order? Quote
schwank Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I can't confirm that you need the electronic one for your application. I have a TraqMate with the analog input, and connected it via wire to the coil to pull RPM data. The only difference IIRC is in the little grey adapter piece that screws to the back of the data unit.

The "little grey adapter piece" is the item that comes in two flavors. One for a traditional coil set up and one for an electronic ignition. Which one did you install on your car? Thanks in advance.

schwank Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I have the analog version. Ran a wire under the dash and through the firewall at the radio antenna hole ( late windshield with integrated antenna ) and up to the coil. Quote

Ran a wire under the dash and through the firewall at the radio antenna hole ( late windshield with integrated antenna ) and up to the coil. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. However, both grey input adapters have analog and digital inputs as well as the "RPM" input. The "RPM" input is different between the two adapters. Do you remember which adapter you installed? Again, thanks. Dale Quote
schwank Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Wasn't aware that mine could do digital in for RPM. I bought the cheaper of the two, the one with less inputs. I can snap a pic when I get home... or IIRC I posted the pics here on the forums if you search. Quote
Legends21 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 Just got an answer from Traqmate support. Either version will work, but they suggested the electronic ignition version for the 944. Thanks to all who responded with help. Dale Quote
