New Product AEM CD Carbon Digital Dash Mounting Solution

Posted By: Mike Galimi

AEM has released Ram Mounts Adapter Brackets for CD Carbon Digital Dashes (PNs 30-5545 for CD-5 Carbon and 30-5546 for CD-7 Carbon). These brackets allow you to easily install a CD-5 or CD-7 Carbon Digital Dash Display through suction, hard mount, or roll cage/bar mount using Ram Mounts innovative mounting solutions! It's the perfect accessory for quickly installing a CD Carbon dash, for dash/logger portability on track day vehicles, or when moving a CD Carbon dash in between vehicles.

Each CD Carbon Ram Mounts Adapter Bracket kit includes a bracket, Ram Mounts mounting ball and hardware for mounting the ball to the bracket. Ram Mounts mounting hardware is sold separately.

About the CD-7 and CD-5 Digital Dashboards

CD-7 and CD-5 Carbon Digital Dash Displays feature a full-color, daylight readable screen surrounded by a tough, lightweight flow-molded carbon fiber composite housing. Seven ultra-bright LEDs span the top of the display housing for RPM and shift light indication. Users can program them to ascend in specific increments based on RPM range and flash when it is time to shift. Brightness is user programmable on the fixed color LEDs. Two large buttons are included on the face of the display, allowing easy page changing and memory resetting even with driving gloves on. These button functions are included in the supplied rear connector, allowing the user to mount remote buttons. Two additional programmable LEDs are located above the toggle buttons on the top of the housing on either side of the integrated LED shift lights.

VIEW AND LOG DATA FROM OVER 250 CAN DEVICES!
The CD-7 Carbon receives channels from two independent CAN bus inputs and it does not require special modules to read AEM and/or 3rd-party CAN signals. We have validated it to communicate with over 250 non-AEM devices, 2008-up stock ECUs via the OBDII port (see Supported Apps Tab), and the CD-7 Carbon can be added to any vehicle with the addition of our 22 Channel CAN Sensor Module. The CD-7 Carbon is ECU CAN ready and does not require external modules for CAN to CAN communication, just load your configuration and go! All channels can be named in virtually any language so that the information displayed makes sense to the user when displayed, whether on the main screens or warning alerts.

Third-party systems will require download of 3rd party DBC CAN bus protocol files for proper operation if they are not included in our setup software. We currently have over 250 validated 3rd party applications, and include a CD Dash Power Cable to simplify the installation of 3rd party devices. We have also developed 3rd Party Plug & Play Adapter Cables for certain applications, which are highlighted on our Supported Apps Tab and can be viewed on our Install Kits Tab.
