Connecting a CD-7/5 Digital Dash to Hondata S300V3 or KPro4!

[@dirtybird22222]

Which direction did y’all jump the resistor? Like is the yellow side soldered into the green or white wire?

[@ZimaletaMotors]

Interesting video, I just found this, and wonder can I use this in an Engine swap situation, would I need to have 2 ECUs, just wondering how to make that work

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Assuming you are talking about an engine swap that uses a stock ECU, if the ECU is 2008-up then the channels going to the OBDII port are transmitted via CAN bus and you can use our Plug & Play OBDII adapter harness to receive them on the dash: www.aemelectronics.com/products/cd-digital-dash-displays-adapter-harnesses/cd-7-plug-play-adapter-harnesses-3rd-party-devices/cd-7-obdii-can-plug-play-adapter-harness If it is not an 08-up engine, then you would need to convert your channels to CAN bus, and we make 22 and 6 Channel CAN Converter modules that make it really easy to do: www.aemelectronics.com/products/cd-digital-dash-displays-adapter-harnesses/aemnet-can-bus-expansion-modules

[@StogyBuilt]

So I have everything all wired up like shown in video but nothing is working when car is on with engine running or off? What is it that I did wrong Hondata s300 v3 120ohm resistor jumped between CAN H/L still not working??

[@JP-dn6rq]

Says fuel level wire into hondata then transmitted via can hi and low but you can see the yellow wire even going out of the ecu into the same connector as the can hi and low white and green wires so what is the yellow fuel wire plugging into? And if your car doesn’t have a vdm then you just run separate ground and power instead of getting power and ground from vdm ? And where are the vdm connectors coming from and going to ? It shows them plugging in but not to what or from where and getting the the input on laptop but as can? Kinda confusing just throwing the vdm in there but not really explaining it

[@blacklineindustries7602]

In the video they explained that there's a converter in the car to take fuel level resistance and output a 0-5v analog signal so the yellow wire is connecting to the fuel level converter. The AEMnet connectors typically have four pins in them: CAN+/-, power and ground so you can just daisy chain devices together and they can get their power/ground from that one connection. The VDM is not a power source - it's just another device on the AEMnet network. They explained in the video that the car used to have another dash so they're using the power/ground from that to supply power onto the AEMnet connections. The VDM just plugs into AEMnet. All AEMnet or other CAN devices are all just in parallel with each other - that's how CAN networks work. Nothing is really any different with or without the VDM in there. If the car had an AEM ECU then the ECU would supply power/ground onto AEMnet since they come wired that way but since this car has Hondata, separate power/ground must be provided.

Forgive my late reply But I have a rywire p14 pdm system in my Honda, with hondata v3. I will have a “can” plug for my dash chosen as my option from rywire. Will your cd5 plug directly into their can plug or will I still need to modify my ecu. Thanks a lot! Tried to write that legibly. Lol

[@ANANDKbruce]

Can we use both stock factory gauges and this cd7 in same time...?

[@jacquesgold]

Thanks for the demo. I am leaning more & more to this device but ultimately would be looking for a complete system. Which PDM & Keypad would you recommend using with a system similar to this (Using a different ECU i.e. Link, Haltec or other)?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

We have validated several PDMs and have the CAN data available on our forum here: www.aemelectronics.com/forum/can-configurations-3rd-party-hardware

[@JJBuilds]

Would this be compatible with Kpro3? The digital output on Hondata is a smaller port compared to the Kpro4

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

At this time, we do not have a Serial to CAN adapter available, so there is no way to get the data from a KPro3 to a CD Carbon Dash. Short of upgrading to a KPro4, you can use a 22 Channel CAN Sensor Module to send data to the dash separate from the KPro3.

[@shionnsr8684]

besides the reason im here please do tell are those volks 15 or 16's please??

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

16s.

[@shionnsr8684]

AEMpowerTV thank you are the tyres 225/45?

[@FOXTROT5NOVEMBER]

HaterHurter sirG345 what books are those te37s? If so which model?

[@KerryDrift]

great vid guys, can that work on a ecumaster classic ?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Thanks for the kind words! If that ECU has CANbus then most likely. We know it will work with EMU and EMU Black Engine Control Units. The list is here and we keep it updated. www.aemelectronics.com/forum/can-configurations-3rd-party-hardware

[@martinarana4455]

HELLO, GREAT VIDEO GUYS, I WANT TO CONNECT MY AEM DASH CD7 THROUGH THE OBD2 SYSTEM IN MY RAM 1500 V8 HEMI, BUT NOT CONNECTED, WHAT CAN BE THE PROBLEM?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Thanks for the kind words! As long as your truck is 2008-up and you have the OBDII Adapter cable and have provided power to the dash, once you poll the OBDII port using DashDesign software and assign the received channels in your layout they should display. Our tech guys can help you out, so please contact them at [e-mail]!

[@anotherdedchannel]

Could you guys tell me what mount you used? and if this is the stock steering column? I purchased a cd7 dash for my eg civic and would like it mounted like this

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Unfortunately, this was a custom mount

[@alexsmith7801]

Is the process for connecting to a BMW DME similar in terms of can hi/lo splice? Trying to decide between this and an Aim MXS.

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

From a connection standpoint yes, but you will also need the DBC files for the ECU to be able to transmit the channels to the dash. Please check our forum for more info and to get tech support: aemelectronics.com/?q=forum/can-configurations-3rd-party-hardware

[@rogerkasan1]

can you show me how i'm supposed to connect the resistor? is only one resistor needed between the can hi and low connection

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Hi Kasan, please contact our support team at [e-mail] and they should be able to send you a diagram that will help. Our Forum is a good place to look, too: www.aemelectronics.com/forum

[@MILANOKIS]

I'm confused on how to wire the oem resistor. Do I need 2 for each wire?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

The resistor will bridge the Canh and CanL wires on the hondata side. Please give our tech team an email at [e-mail] if you have any additional questions.

[@SimplesolutionTS]

Could i get a better explanation of the “terminating resistor” wiring?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Canbus networks require a terminating resistor at both ends, the AEM CD-5&7 have a built in terminating resistor that can be selected on or off in the software. The other end of the network (in this case the hondata unit) does not have a terminating resitor so one will need to be added in (time stamp 2:21). The terminating resistor is a 120ohm resistor that bridges between the can + and - wires.

[@pizzo480]

Where yall located I need one installed

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

We manufacture the dash and do not do installations (except in How To videos), but we have a great network of authorized installers and resellers. Try our Dealer Finder on our website here or email us at [e-mail]: www.aemelectronics.com/find-a-dealer

[@CrezBroSteph]

Is there anywhere else to mount it?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

It can be mounted anywhere you want. We do not supply a mount for that reason...there are too many options!

[@404MONSTERS]

Is a 22 channel can sensor moduel needed for this?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

If you do not have an ECU that transmits channels by CAN bus (either a standalone ECU or 2008-up factory ECU), then the 22 Channel CAN Sensor Module is the best way to get channels to the dash. We also make a 6 Channel CAN Sensor Module if you want to start with basic channels first (2 pressure, 2 temps, RPM, and fuel level). More info is here on both CAN Modules: www.aemelectronics.com/products/cd-digital-dash-displays-adapter-harnesses/aemnet-can-bus-expansion-modules

[@404MONSTERS]

@@AEMpowerTVelectronics have a kpro4

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

If you have a Kpro4 you do not need a CAN Module. If you watch the video all the way through we show you how to hook up your KPro to the dash including how to make the CAN wiring. The only difference between the S300v3 and KPro4 is the connector on the Honda board, so this video will show you how to do it! The software setup procedures in the video are the same, too.

[@404MONSTERS]

@@AEMpowerTVelectronics thank you guys. I appreciate your assistance.

is that an AEM hood? what hood is that?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

It's a custom hood. One off.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

LP700 4 gauge layout i c

[@charlespremdas8446]

Would have been nice to see full wiring rather than “talk through” what was done for Hondata.

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

We cover the wiring in the video. It's just a simple setup. We even provide PNs for the ancillary items you need to make a CAN harness. Once you make the harness, the wiring is as simple as connecting the DTM connector from the CAN output on the S300 to the DTM receptacle on the dash harness.

[@charlespremdas8446]

AEMpowerTV does this work with the Hondata S300V2?

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

I don't believe the S300 V2 had CAN bus out, and you need CAN bus to send the channels to the dash.
