For car enthusiasts and track day participants seeking seamless access to vehicle data, the Aem Cd7 Obd2 adapter offers a plug-and-play solution. This innovative harness allows CD-5 Carbon and CD-7 Digital Dashes to effortlessly connect to the OBDII CAN data on 2008 and newer vehicles, even with a factory ECU. Imagine viewing critical engine and vehicle parameters directly on your CD Dash without complex wiring.
This OBDII CAN Plug & Play Adapter is particularly advantageous when paired with AEM’s Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM). By integrating the VDM, users gain access to advanced features like GPS for track mapping and lap times, along with a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope for capturing crucial vehicle dynamics data such as G-loads, roll, pitch, and yaw. For existing CD Dash users with CAN OBD-II already utilizing their dash for data logging or other CAN devices, this adapter provides an easy way to add supplementary channels through the OBD connection, eliminating the need for additional wiring complexities.
Once connected via the OBD-II CAN Sub Harness, the CD Dash intelligently polls the vehicle’s CAN bus. This process automatically identifies available channels and their data transmission speeds. Users then have the flexibility to select specific channels for display, configure alarms for chosen parameters, and even log data if using a CD logging dash model.
While the data transmission rate of available channels is dictated by the vehicle manufacturer and cannot be altered by the CD Dash, the system allows users to prioritize channels. This prioritization feature ensures optimal transfer speed for the most critical data, maximizing the effectiveness of your AEM CD7 or CD-5 dash for performance monitoring and analysis.
Key Features:
- Plug & Play OBDII CAN Connection: Effortlessly connects AEM CD-5 Carbon and CD-7 Dashes to the OBDII port in 2008 and newer vehicles for adding CAN channels.
- Selectable and Prioritized Channels: Users can choose and prioritize available channels to optimize data transfer speed based on their needs.
- Track Day Optimized: Ideal for track day enthusiasts wanting to monitor OBDII CAN channels and integrate with the AEM VDM for comprehensive track mapping, lap timing, and vehicle dynamics data acquisition.
