ABOUT THE CD CARBON DASHES


CD-5 and CD-7 Carbon Digital Dash Displays feature full-color, daylight-readable screens surrounded by tough, lightweight flow-molded carbon fiber composite housings. They receive channels from CAN-enabled devices that can be installed on any vehicle and are available with integrated data logging and GPS for MPH, track mapping, and lap timing. Seven ultra-bright programmable LEDs span the top of the display housings for RPM and shift light indication and two additional programmable LEDs are located on the sides of the enclosure. Users can program the shift lights to ascend in specific increments based on RPM range and flash when it is time to shift. Brightness is user-programmable on the fixed color LEDs.
