AMB 260 Type Transponder

These are the old style that do not need a subscription  - *** note they don’t say FLEX on the label *** ... can be found on eBay and amazon used/new

only thing to note is some people will have access to the Yellow or Kart transponders ... they may or may not work in a car ... the differentiation between car and kart is the speed they will register at

X2 Car are good to 161 MPH 
X2 Kart are only good to 74 MPH 

if your anywhere near 15 second lap times you may be over the 75 mph at the line so the kart won’t work in that case

I believe I read 100 mph for the yellow flex somewhere ... and the older non subscription was faster ... but they seriously gimped the new X2 kart 

if you attempt to use the kart transponder you do so at your own risk
