What you need for this ECU
Emtron carries CAN on the ECU's own connector, which differs by model. Wire it with the 2 m DTM-4 Extension with bare wires ($40, sold separately), which joins the 20 cm lead on the dash. Tell us your model and we will send you the pins.
The dash, and whatever gets its lead to your ECU. Anything listed here is matched to the ECUs on this page from our own fitment records.
Running an Emtron? The RDM-7 is a 7-inch CAN digital dashboard with a built-in Emtron preset for the KV and SL series: KV8, KV12, KV16, SL4 and SL6. Pick Emtron in the setup wizard and the channels come up named and scaled, read straight off the bus. No tuning software, no licence, no subscription.
Which cable you need
There is no RDM adaptor loom for Emtron, and the CAN connector differs between models, so rather than guess at yours, here is what the dash actually needs. It is the same on every ECU: four connections.
- 12 V switched ignition
- Chassis ground
- CAN High
- CAN Low
The RDM-7 comes with a 20 cm lead from the RDM plug to a DTM-4 connector. Add the 2 m DTM-4 Extension with bare wires ($40, sold separately), with a DTM-4 Style plug at one end and bare CAN, power and ground at the other, and you have everything you need. You terminate the bare end to suit your Emtron's CAN connector.
Tell us which Emtron you are running and we will tell you straight what the ECU end needs, before you order rather than after.
What the install takes
Four wires at the dash end: 12 V switched ignition, chassis ground, CAN High, CAN Low. Fuse the 12 V feed at 2 A. The plug is an eight-way push-in terminal block with release tabs, so there is no crimping: strip the wire, push it in, done.
The dash works out the CAN bitrate in the first-run wizard and stores it. From key-on, about five seconds to numbers moving.
What you get
800 × 480 IPS touchscreen, around 50 fps, under 20 ms from the bus to the screen. Up to 128 CAN channels, DBC import, transmit and receive. Onboard logging at 1 to 200 Hz in plain CSV, to the dash's own memory or a microSD card. No card is needed, and none is supplied. Thirteen widget types, and several layouts on one dash.
The layout editor is served by the dash itself over Wi-Fi, so you build your screen in a browser tab on your phone with no cable and no laptop. A desktop version runs on Windows, macOS and Linux with no hardware connected at all, so your whole layout can be ready while the dash is still in its box.
Free firmware updates over Wi-Fi. No dealer visit, no licence. 12-month warranty.
Display, logging and CAN transmit only. The RDM-7 reads, displays, logs and transmits. It does not tune your ECU.
Tell us what you are running. We will queue a profile.
Give us the ECU, the year and what is on the bus. New presets go out as firmware and reach every owner over Wi-Fi at no cost.
