AEM Electronics CD-5 Carbon Digital Dash Display

The AEM Electronics CD-5 Carbon Digital Dash Display is a motorsport-grade, high-visibility digital instrument panel engineered to replace traditional gauges with a single, ultra-lightweight data hub. Enclosed in a rugged, carbon-fiber reinforced composite housing, this 5-inch display is built to withstand high-vibration racing environments while saving critical dashboard weight. It provides racers with an instantaneous, clear view of vehicle vitals under any driving condition.

The CD-5 features a full-color, daylight-readable screen with an integrated anti-glare filter, ensuring the display remains perfectly visible even in direct, harsh sunlight. Equipped with a progressive 7-LED shift light strip across the top and two fully programmable multi-color alert LEDs on the sides, it delivers immediate driver feedback. The dash seamlessly communicates via CAN-bus with over 250 aftermarket ECU and logging devices, as well as factory OBDII networks, allowing for an effortless, plug-and-play installation across a massive range of vehicles.
