AEM Infinity Plug and Play harness installation: Plug and play wiring harness for Infinity ECUs with the AEM wiring harness: Locate the 4 pin AEM NET wiring connector on the Infinity harness. Connect the Plug and play harness into the Infinity harness and run the cable to the desired gauge installation location.

Plug and pin harness installation: Plug and pin wiring harness for Infinity ECUs: The termination to the Infinity ECU is relatively simple as it only consists of two wires: CAN A High and CAN A Low. Included on the plug and pin harness are two pins that will simply plug into the Infinity (Molex MX 123) connectors.
Page 7
As per the AEM Infinity 6 and 8h documentation: The plug and pin harness has two signal wires (Green and White). Pin the White wire to CAN A High and the Green wire to CAN A Low on the corresponding connector. Connect the Red wire to a switched on / ignition power source and connect the Black wire to ground.

Data LED: This indicator will flash when ever the gauge is energized and CAN communications are present. Use this to confirm communications. CAN Bus Termination Jumper: Remove this jumper if the gauge is not the last device on the CAN Bus. If there are multiple gauges, the last gauge should be the only gauge with the jumper installed.

2 Pin Analog Out Connector (Brown and Blue Wires) The termination of these two wires is dependent on the inputs that are assigned in the AEM Tuner software. If you are using one of these gauge outputs for boost control, tie the output to the V2 “ModeSwitch Input”. Either output may be connected to a different input on V2 (5 volt low current) or used with a 5 volt relay for Nitrous Arm / Purge or a line lock if desired.

Standard CAN transmission: ( Manual transmission cars with or without flex fuel ) : Can Message 1 should look like this: Change Byte 3 from “Engine Load” to “MAP Voltage” AEM V2 is not capable of outputting the MAP pressure on the CAN bus, so we will need to put in a scalar and offset in the gauge in order to get our MAP Pressure.

Integration: Pressing the Integration button will allow the user to determine which ECU CAN data stream will be received and interpreted by the BTI CAN display. Baud Rate: Select the proper baud rate used to transmit the CAN data stream by touching the speed specified. Note that having the wrong speed on the CAN bus will cause the entire CAN bus to fault causing all communications to fail.

Currently, either the BTI TPMS 1000, the BTI TPMS 500, or the Haltech TMS4 are compatible with this display. The BTI TPMS 1000 or Halteh TMS4 modules are used for ECUs that comminicate at 1Mb/s baud rate. The BTI TPMS 500 is used for ECUs that comminicate at 500 Kb/s (Infinity and AEM V2 or anything tied to OBD2).
