Yes they probably could - they just need the power, and some speed signal.

Not many aftermarket computers have speed signal inputs/outputs.
Not any I know of, but i only know the ins and outs of a few.

If your going to sell it and it is the newer version (blue screen fancy one) then I'll buy it off you.
How much do you want for it?

No Probs.
But if you find it doesn't fit/work with your computer can I have first dibbs on it?

The RSM-GP runs off the signal from the speed sensor; So if the car still runs the speed sensor there is no reason why it won't work regardless of the aftermarket ECU.
Check the RSM-GP's wiring manual for a listing of your car's make and model.

Yeah as Manny says, wire it straight to your speed sensor if your car has got one.
MTX8's dont have speed sensor inputs or outputs for certain. No microtechs have speed sensor inputs/outputs. There are spares that can be customised for speed sensor input or anything else but in your situation it wouldn't be beneficial to put it into the MTX.

If you have an auto it should be on it. If you dont and it has a cable driven speedo chances are you don't have an electronic speed sensor at all.

I'm looking for an Apexi RSM to lift the Speed cut on my Soarer and was wondering if the older model RSM has this feature aswell.
Has anyone used an RSM on a Soarer, if so can you tell me if the speed cut delimiter worked?

The old RSM and the new RSM-GP will remove speed limit on the Soarer. You can verify at the apexiusa.com website by downloading the relevant install manuals.

It's a bit of a rice toy, but I've got one to document any performance increases that I get. The new one has got much nicer display (but is quite pricey) and you can get a nifty G-sensor (additional cost) to try to account for wheelspin (which by the way limits my 0-100 times now)
I have used it successfully to cancel speed cut.
