🔧 Product Overview

The Round CAN Display combines several functions in one compact gauge:

• Large digital gear indicator
• Live engine and transmission dashboard
• Configurable CAN-bus gauge
• Integrated CAN traffic monitor
• Bluetooth configuration
• Custom DBC support
• Built-in software-activated termination resistor

Its traditional round-gauge format makes it easy to integrate into dashboards, gauge pods, center consoles, and custom instrument panels.

⚙️ ZF 8HP CAN Display and Transmission Integration

The display is particularly suited to vehicles fitted with a ZF 8HP automatic transmission.

When used with a compatible ECU or transmission controller, it can display:

• Current gear
• Shifter mode
• ZF 8HP operating mode
• Transmission temperature
• Vehicle speed
• Engine RPM
• Engine torque
• Additional drivetrain data

A dedicated full-screen gear page provides a large, easy-to-read gear indication for road, track, drift, rally, and drag-racing applications.
