New Plug and Play harness system
Who doesn’t want the easy button? Even the experts hit it!
The new Plug and Play wiring harness system for RaceCapture/Pro makes it ridiculously easy to connect sensors and CAN bus accessories. Not only is it easy, but also includes high quality, IP67 grade over-molded connectors – no crimping, no heat shrink, no splicing no soldering, and no artisanal wiring needed!

25Hz Cutting edge GNSS technology
RaceCapture/Pro offers the latest in quad-constellaton (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou) positioning technology for unparalleled positioning capabilities. You’ll often see 25+ to over 30 locked satellites!
An additional GPIO output
Our customers are always running out of GPIO connections, so we’ve added one more to the RaceCapture/Pro Mk4 system for a total of 4! Use these to control relays for fans, activate indicator / warning lights on the dashboard, control accessories, and more. Each output can sink up to 1A to ground, and has automatic over-current protection.
Available with built-in worldwide 4G cellular
You can get RaceCapture/Pro with built-in 4G cellular telemetry, for direct streaming to Podium.live. For more information, see the full product information.

1) Does the RaceCapture Pro MK4 replace the old podium connect product. It appears that way, but want to be sure.
2) Also I assume the MK4 lets you stream live telemetry data to the web. Does it only work using its own SIM card or can it connect to a hotspot.
3) In either case, please confirm that no additional tablet is required in vehicle to make the stream work.
4) Can the MK4 also serve as a hotspot for other devices / systems in the car?
Hi James:
1) Nope, PodiumConnect is its own product, and we also did a refresh on it. https://www.autosportlabs.com/product/podiumconnect-live-stream-motorsport-real-time-telemetry-from-aim-motec-race-technology-or-other-data-acquisition-systems-to-podium/
The difference with PodiumConnect is it is designed to be a “Telemetry add-on” for existing data systems, whereas RaceCapture/Pro is a fully self contained data + telemetry system for people who don’t already have a solution.
2) with the onboard cellular option it can work with its own internal SIM card in a stand-alone configuration. Using a hotspot, it must broadcast via the RaceCapture/App (the app itself does the broadcast). Detailed instructions here: https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/RaceCapture_real_time_telemetry#RaceCapture_App_Telemetry
3) To recap, RaceCapture/Pro with the onboard cellular option can broadcast fully stand-alone. Without the onboard cellular, it broadcasts by way of the RaceCapture app on a tablet (see link in #2 above)
4) No, it is not designed to act as a hotspot.
We hope this helps answer your questions!
Hi
i couldnt import a new dash to my car, i have saved it but i cant fingd it on the tablet under screens , what are i doing wrong ?
Stefan
If you design a dashboard on your desktop, you can save it to the cloud after you log into your Podium account.
Then, on the tablet, also log into your podium account, and then go to the dashboard editor to load that dashboard saved to the cloud.
We have a full demo of how to do it, here: https://youtu.be/BEhLfffkybA?t=425
