Alex you cheeky monkey!

You might be better to connect the speed sensor to the ecu rather than the dash. From memory the Dash 2 only works with Hall effect speed sensors and I suspect the FD is reluctor. The ECU will accept either type and send speed to the dash over CAN
Will I need to wire in to for example:
Aux 1: gearbox > ecu (can I use AUX for the speed sensor input wire? )
CAN: Dash 2 via CAN RT Lead

Perfect thanks Adam!
i saw RT we’ll signal converters for around £80 so if the ecu is smart enough to read either then running a wire to the ecu will save me a few quid!

Now working! All up and running!
Just need to connect up my wheel speed wire into the car loom from the RT dash 2
i have a FFE Hall sensor on my e-shaft for ignition cranking, I’ll just tap into the stock transmission speed sensor for wheel speed

CANF connector, is the pin out from the ecu plug side or from the side you solder the wiring onto?..

Ok, set up looks ok. But one of the first things I noticed you are on very old firmware, 5.0, this was basically the first release of G4+. You should update to the latest, there have been many improvements and fixes since.
Ah cool mate thanks for looking, I’ll update the firmware this evening and see it if helps at all!
Whats the latest version for the ecu’s currently?
EDIT: Updated the firmware now.

Attach your tune file so I can check at least the link end.
Here you go mate copy of the map/tune on the car.. see what you can find!
All i have done to it was update the CAN settings as per the link guidance
Cheers

Attach your ECU tune file and dash config, I will take a quick look if the basic setup looks ok. Has the RT ECU CAN interface box been programmed by them?
yes mate its one of their pre-programmed ones for the G4+ ECU'S.
I have sent my Dash 2 config file off to RT to look at so will be good to know if that is correct or if there is any issues with how I have set it up.
I will update the post as soon as i hear back from them!

I don’t think the CANSERIAL cable has the CAN pins connected so don’t cut that up. As mentioned earlier you need to make your own using a CANF and DB9
So got the CANF connector delivered, connected that onto the 2 pair twisted wires for the CAN H and L and still not showing the readings on my race tech display. Didn’t need a db9 connector as the RT CAN interface lead has them on it. So think it may be an issue the RT side of things.
Seems I’m missing somthing, can’t get the ecu and display talking!

Hey adam
Thanks for that buddy
Ive taken some pictures, as I’m wondering if I can cut the serial connector off the CANSER lead and then joint to the two wire High and Low serial connector, which then connects to the ecu labelled serial connector.
Ive taken some pictures so you can see the RT lead.
The only thing I need to know next is the pin out of the CANSER cable, so I know which wires to connect the red and white CAN wires to.
i under stand the theory of it, just gotta work out if I cut the £50 CANSER lead or not hahaha
Cheers

HI Tom
The CANSER lead was intended for serial coms. It would pay to check that you have CAN L and H wires connected right through from the dash to the correct pins at the ECU.
As the CANSER has the serial wires connected you will loos you PC coms while the dash is connected.
If using CAN it is best to use the CANF connector and wire the CAN wires direct from the dash can lead.
Hi Simon
As I have the Dash 2 and not the Dash 2 pro, I don’t have a pin out directly t the dash for CAN.
From my understanding the RT CAN interface lead help with this and converts the serial to CAN,

Do you know the pin out of the CANSER lead?
in my mind I’m thinking to cut the serial connector off the end of the lead then connect it to the RT lead? The F connector may be handy buying as well I guess
Or go for the

Hello chaps
I’m having some issues connecting my extreme ecu with my race technology dash 2 display.
I have the link canser lead so I can connect the ecu into my laptop and open the PC link software, change the CAN settings and apply the settings to transmit to my Dash 2.
I also have a Race technology CAN interface lead which is Pre programmed for the Link G4+ ecu’s.
So when I connect the Canser lead in and connect to the RT CAN interface lead it won’t connect to my ecu or dash 2. So I’m assuming that the serial connector on the canser and the serial connector pins don’t mate up? Or that I’m missing somthing else
Any help wuld be great so eat so I can read my ecu settings on my dash 2!!
Thanks

Thanks mate
have pinned it into DI5 as it says under the help section I can only use 1-6 for speed sensors.
How do I actually set the DI up? Any help with some screen grabs would be handy thanks!
EDIT: Think I’ve done it, just used the help and changed it from DI1 which itbwas set at and put it to DI5 which I wired in. Kept the settings at 220, which it was set at, if it needs adjusting I’ll just change it.
