Connecting the Display
Connector
The display is supplied as standard with an 8 way Molex connector.
CAN bus termination
The display is designed to be permanently connected to a single or multi node CAN bus. To
assist with wiring on the vehicle the display includes a CAN termination resistor which can be
used as required to achieve the correct bus termination.
If the display fails to detect a standalone device then you should check that the CAN bus has
correct termination
