ON THE TRACK OR THE BENCH:
The Bluetooth Smart Wire and USB Smart Wire are two different ways to program the American Vintage Ignition module. The USB Smart Wire is used to configure and program the ignition module on the work bench and will power up the American Vintage Ignition module automatically. The Bluetooth Smart Wire is installed on the engine with the ignition module and is used to fine tune the engine.
USB WITH EASE:
The USB Smart Wire allows you to configure an American Vintage Ignition module for virtually any engine. It plugs into the USB port of a computer and then installs itself automatically. It also powers up the module for programming with a single plug without having to connect anything else to the module. The programming software is downloaded from the internet, free, so the module settings can then be changed, saved and organized as text files.
WIRELESS TUNING
The Bluetooth Smart Wire performs the same function of reading and programming the American Vintage Ignition as the USB Smart Wire but uses wireless technology. The Bluetooth Smart Wire is plugged into the American Vintage Ignition when it is installed in the car and left in place. Programs can be changed in the hot pits without the driver having to exit the car and can be accessed by a mechanic up to 300 feet away. Over time a library of programs can be accumulated that optimize engine performance for different race tracks and driving conditions. Drivers can easily change shift light and maximum RPM settings. Mechanics can keep detailed records for even a large stable of race cars with their cell phones.
KEEPS YOUR CAR LOOKING ORIGINAL:
For aesthetic appeal, the cable that connects the American Vintage Ignition to the Smart Wire antenna is hidden inside an old school ground wire braid. The end of the wire that has the antenna in it is placed near a window or where it cannot be seen. Once installed, the Smart Wire appears to be the ground wire for the ignition module.
SECURE AND EASY:
No one can access the program without having the ignition key to the car. Each Smart Wire has a unique MAC identifier and pass word and is paired like any other Bluetooth device. A single smart phone or tablet can keep track of and program any number of American Vintage Ignition Smart Wire equipped cars.
