For 3rd party devices, AEM recommends you use AEM CAN Bus 2, whose connections are contained in a 2 pin Deutsch DTM connector. On older harnesses it may be in an unterminated, twisted/shielded flying lead in the dash harness. Life CAN High AEM CD "CAN 2" Pin 1 (CAN 2+), Gray wire in twisted/shielded pair Life CAN Low AEM CD "CAN 2" Pin 2 (CAN 2-), Black wire in twisted/shielded pair ECU Software Setup The CD Dash supports the default Life Racing CAN output. However, some cal files may not have the CAN output activated or may not support all the channels contained in the default setup. You must confirm the setup before proceeding. To do this, start by opening the “Datastreams” group in the calibration and confirm the following settings: “Datastream Select” is set to “Custom CAN” “CAN 1 BUS Speed” is set to 1MHZ The “Frame Identifier” table contains these values for frames 1-18; 600h,601h,602h,603h,604h,605h,606h,607h,608h,609h,60ah,60bh,60ch,60dh,60eh,60fh,610h,611h The “Frame Frequency” table contains these values for frames 1-18; 50Hz,50Hz,50Hz,10Hz,10Hz,5Hz,5Hz,10Hz,10Hz,5Hz,5Hz,5Hz,5Hz,5Hz,50Hz50Hz,50Hz,50Hz The “Frame Content” table contains these values for frames 1-18 SETUP GUIDE This product is legal in California for racing vehicles only and should never be used on public highways.

In cases where ANY slot in the first 18 frames contains “NOT_SET” you MUST change that value to “SPARE” or the ECU will generate an error and will not transmit the CAN data.

These are chosen by selecting “File” then “Open” and selecting one of the setups titled xzyblank.aemcd7 with the xyz representing a description of the layouts contained in the file. To import the CAN setup you select SETUP then DISPLAY from the main DashDisplay menu. Once the dialog box opens you select the “CAN Receive” tab.
