DENALI DialDim™ Lighting Controller - How to Install Dimmable Offroad Lighting

[@DENALIElectronics]

We are thrilled to announce that our first four plug-&-play DialDim kits are now live and available for preorder for the Honda Africa Twin, Tenere 700, H-D Pan America and Gen 3 KLR 650! Keep in mind that you don't need the vehicle-specific harness to install a DialDim on any bike, it just takes out the guess-work of where to hook up to! denalielectronics.com/collections/new-products/products/dialdim%E2%84%A2-lighting-controller-for-honda-africa-twin-1100 denalielectronics.com/collections/new-products/products/dialdim%E2%84%A2-lighting-controller-for-yamaha-tenere-700 denalielectronics.com/collections/new-products/products/dialdim%E2%84%A2-lighting-controller-for-harley-davidson-pan-america-1250 denalielectronics.com/collections/new-products/products/dialdim%E2%84%A2-lighting-controller-for-kawasaki-klr-650-gen3

I just ordered one with the D7 package last week with plans of adding them to my Rebel 1100T. I used the Cansmarts on my Africa Twin.

[@keiththurston9024]

I am 80% installed on my KTM Adventure 890R. Small detail, but wish you would have shown proper posi-tap use and installation. And can the posi-taps be removed should a vehicle specific harness become available?

[@DENALIElectronics]

Thanks for the suggestion, we will work to show more of the posi-connectors in future videos.

Hopefully our team got you sorted, but if not we have a quick blog to help you decide: denalielectronics.com/blogs/blog/denali-dialdim-versus-cansmart-which-is-right-for-me

[@jrflorenanoutpl]

It is amazing. I am trying to decide which one to buy: CANsmart or this DialDim. Is this the same as CANsmart or they work both together? What's the difference?

[@DENALIElectronics]

Tough decision, it really comes down to what bike you are outfitting and what your build goals are. We have put together a quick blog post to try and help out: denalielectronics.com/blogs/blog/denali-dialdim-versus-cansmart-which-is-right-for-me

[@r0bv123]

Wow this is so cool and innovative! Will the Tenere 700 kit work on my new Tracer 9 GT, or are the plugs different? Or will there be a specific Tracer 9 kit soon?

[@DENALIElectronics]

We can't confirm fitment on the Tracer 9 simply because we haven't been able to track one down close to our shop for testing. If you are local to Rhode Island, let us know and we can hook you up in exchange for a day or two in the shop.

[@milovanriel1]

Very nice product indeed, which I do not see if you have also implemented the feature when switching on hazardous lights and the primary lights also blink that you can set the intensity lower. When driving in traffic with blinking D7 at 100% makes the driver very nervous so the ability to also dim this D7 with an extra setting when turning the hazardous feature on in the software would be nice

[@DENALIElectronics]

This feature will likely be available on the CANsmart module for the Africa Twin, coming soon.

[@shubhpatel50]

I’m currently planning to buy d7 pod with dial dim , can I integrate,you current set of fog light (goldrunway cr4 which is dimmable) if just split the second set of aux supply provided and join cr4 will it dim or I would have to keep its harness too ? And will it affect warranty?

Thanks so much!

[@Stu1314]

Hi. Really intrigued by this product. I have a Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 with LED lights. Have never been able to pick up the (low voltage) high beam signal for my Denali 2.0 D2's as the bike uses Canbus signals. Will the DialDim work on my bike as yo have demonstrated in the video?

[@DENALIElectronics]

It will! There is a chance that you might need an additional relay that we sell, called a trigger wizard. Reach out to our customer service team and we can get a solution that works for your bike: denalielectronics.com/pages/contact-us

I ride a Multistrada Rally. Does installing the DialDim requires any wire splicing? Thanks.

[@robertsonfamilyfarm9126]

Will the plug and play work for 2019 Honda African Twin 1000 ?

[@DENALIElectronics]

We have not tested the DialDim to work on different generations of the AT just yet. It is our educated guess that it will not plug right in. The universal DialDim works flawlessly on the older AT's, however!

[@GaGaBroadcasting]

Pretty cool new product. What about the Can Smart for the Africa Twin ? Are you guys working on it?

[@DENALIElectronics]

We are, and we hope to have a solution out by the end of the year.

[@DRLeisy]

Trying to find install help/guidance for Goldwing 2023 Tour using Denali D7 Pro with DialDim. Nothing yet. Questioning feasibility on newer Goldwing units. Fairing removal and Power Cable routing is.... not looking workable for me.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

I can see companies like Denali developing turn/lean lights due to modern motorcycles increasingly incorporating IMU sensors that know when and how far the bike is leaning in 3D space. I could see a programmable circuit that kicks on corner lights at a present lean angle on IMU equipped bikes being a thing. Manufacturers are already doing this on some expensive motorcycles, but I am assuming with limited visibility to see around curves. OEM lighting is often very much an exercise in frustration. All one would need is a trigger wire from an IMU canbus circuit to illuminate cornering lights. User could adjust those to point out/up at whatever angle they require by use.

[@DENALIElectronics]

Thanks for your feedback! We will pass on your comments to our design team!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@DENALIElectronics Well I appreciate that very much!

[@rickvarsava2529]

How do you know what Amp value to set for your lights? I just bought the D7 pro lights and want to run the center bank of three lights separate from the upper and lower banks of two lights. Then, if I decide to run all seven lights on one circuit, what Amp value should I set for that? Thank-you.

Is there a Plug and play for 2016 Africa Twin 1000.

[@DanielSan-sw9px]

Good day, I currently have a Set of DM lights., They have worked great so far, but i do want to add a set of DRL's, would this system be compatible with those lights? For Reference i have a Honda CMX Rebel 1100.

[@DENALIElectronics]

DRLs are compatible with the DialDim Controller and can be wired inline with an existing light set or as one of the 2 channels: denalielectronics.com/collections/led-drl-backup-lights/products/dnl-whs-048

[@michaelbaker5334]

can this lighting control work on my honda Varadero 125 which has Denali DR1 lights and Denali DM lights

[@DENALIElectronics]

Absolutely! Wiring is universal and as in-depth as you choose to go. For basic on/off/dim light control, you only need to connect your DialDim to 12V positive, negative, and connect your lights! If you wish to incorporate horn, signal, and high beam functions, simply tap each circuit and enjoy! We are working on plug and play harnesses for popular bikes, but the pnp systems are not required (just a convenience). You can run DialDim on anything with DENALI lights and a 12v battery! If your lights are older 1.0 lights, they might not have dimming control, but all 2.0 DENALI lights should work with the DialDim.

[@SandisGrantins]

Hi, when approx do you plan to offer for sale the featured Africa Twin CRF1100 Plug & Play kit?

[@DENALIElectronics]

We are hoping to have these ready by quarter 1 of 2022. The DialDim can be run without the plug and play kit, but the kit will make it more convenient.

[@fahadalzahrani9989]

I bought DialDim lightining controller universal kit, how can i connect it to the hight beam? What adapter do i need for bmw gs1250 2022? please help

[@DENALIElectronics]

The high beam is the only function of the DialDim that you cannot use with on the 1250. BMW is touchy with their high-beam signals.

[@saadalshammariq8]

Can i install it on suzuki vstorm ?

[@The_FlyingPanda]

[@SuttathipRoschum]

Hi indeed plug and play connector for DialDim to Honda XADV 2022 Can someone suggest where can I buy or how can I make myself. Thank you.

[@DENALIElectronics]

We don't currently offer a plug and play harness for that model, but the DialDim does work out of the box for your scooter. You simply tap the signals, high beam, and horn wires with included posi-taps and all smart functions are enabled. Even without the leads tapped, the DialDim will still control and dim two light sets.

[@edotalin]

[@crazyivan0v]

What’s the difference between this and the canbus controller you sell? Any features one offers more than the other?

[@DENALIElectronics]

The biggest differences are the universal application of the DialDim and the visual feedback from the controller. The DialDim can be installed on basically any vehicle with lights and a 12V battery. The CANsmart obviously can only be installed on the models that have CANbus systems and have a CANsmart module developed for it. The DialDim is perfect for any bike, especially those without a CANsmart available. That said, there is a lot of customization available inside the software of the CANsmart that can't be achieved on the DialDim. The DialDIm provides instant visual feedback for which light set you are controlling and what level your lights are at. With the CANsmart, you do not have a "display" to show you the levels of the various light sets, whether they are on/off, etc. All of that is controlled through the OEM controls and typically a rider has to look at his/her lights to know for sure what they are doing.

[@crazyivan0v]

Thanx for the info.

[@themtzionlion]

@@DENALIElectronics So in other words I would have to get rid of my Cansmart in order to install the DialDim???

[@markvaughn8096]

Nice set ups for the AT and indeed Interesting that all this is possible BUT I'm just riding a motorcycles not piloting the space shuttle HAHAHAHA way too complex for my aging Grey MatterHAHAHAHA... The AT's bundle of switches and settings is already enough over kill........ All I really want is a set of FLASHING BRIGHT LIGHT during the day and a SOLID BRIGHT LIGHT at night thats wired through my AT key switch. ..... Do you have a harness for this ?

[@DENALIElectronics]

Flashing front lights are typically illegal in most countries and states as they mimic emergency vehicles, we do not offer any harness or controller with a constant flash for this reason. I would install the DialDim with one conspicuity light set on all the time and a second set that you flip on with your high beam switch. Once you set the DialDim with these settings, you don't need to activate them each time you ride and you won't need any additional harness as it is all contained in the DialDim harness.

I have a question regarding the Hi beam relay. How long do you think the relay will last if you have the coil working all the time to convert to positive trigger?

[@michael.simmons8335]

[@tedmarakas2626]

Very nice, I have Denali lights on both my Moto Guzzi, they are quality stuff. However, the small lights don't have so much power that need dimming. Not worth tearing the bike apart for all these wires because you do need them at full intensity. Their larger lights....may be a different story though.

[@DENALIElectronics]

You have a point if you are using small lights simply for conspicuity. The smart features like flash with signal and flash on horn are worth the DialDim upgrade IMHO, especially on a bike that doesn't have a CANbus system.
