Howard Coleman Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 my DisplayLink worked previously on my V88 but i don't seem to get communication with my G4x Extreme. settings all as set forth but all i get is three white lights and a few vertical lines on the display: Quote
neil brown Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 What version is the display link When I got mines overhauled it got the latest pcb which can take can input to the display Mines runs on G4 storm quite happily Does the software not show a display link option Quote
Adamw Posted January 3, 2021 Report Posted January 3, 2021 Are you sure it was connected to the CAN bus on the Vipec, and not serial? In the display settings under ECU type, what is it set to in there? Quote
Howard Coleman Posted January 3, 2021 Author Report Posted January 3, 2021 thanks for the input on the weekend. i did check settings on my V88 and found my CAN configuration was "OFF." the display did work so i assume it was working, as Adam suggests, serially. (?) since i believe i actually did connect it properly w re to the G4X setup i am still hoping for help. with re to Neil's question, the software instructions under DisplayLink recommends the selection of "Transmit Generic Dash."

Adamw Posted January 3, 2021 Report Posted January 3, 2021 You will have to check in the display settings under ECU type if you have something like "Link UC" or "Link CAN". If not the dash will have to come back to Link for a firmware update. Quote
Howard Coleman Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Posted January 4, 2021 i believe i bought the DisplayLink at the end of 2012 with my V88. looking in my "G4 Link Engine Management DisplayLink" booklet with a date on the cover of 2011.... ECUs: Link G4, ViPEC CAN, Link G4 ViPEC RS232, Link G2/G3 etc. will it need an update? thank you Quote
Adamw Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 10 hours ago, Adamw said: You will have to check in the display settings under ECU type if you have something like "Link UC" or "Link CAN". Can you please turn the dash on and tell me what ecu types your dash has listed. Page 11 of the manual tells you how to do this. It is no good telling me what the manual has in it, I want to know what your dash actually has. Quote
Howard Coleman Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Posted January 4, 2021 as mentioned initially, all i get is a blank screen so i am unable to get to the (any) display page. key on brings a red light on the right and two white. as soon as i touch any key the red light disappears and all three lights are white. pushing the right and left Nav keys does bring up one page that has 3 vert lines. nothing else is available on the screens.

neil brown Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 Sounds like it's crashed There is a reset procedure Will have a look from a message I had from link HI Neil, It would be worth trying a firmware reset. To do this hold the enter key/ button down (the one at the bottom of key pad) while powering up the unit. This will reset all settings so you might have to reset the ECU type and any alarms that you ahd set up. Howard Coleman 1 Quote
Howard Coleman Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Posted January 4, 2021 THANK YOU NEIL BROWN! problem solved! i depressed the enter key, turned the Ign key and was immediately greeted by all my pages. Quote
neil brown Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 Is the link display now working with the g4x ecu Quote
Howard Coleman Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Posted January 6, 2021 the display is now working correctly after the reset. Quote
