CAN Bus Wiring
AEM CD has 2 separate CAN ports. 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.

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
