Do I need anything else? (DASH2 & DL1)

Postby Johns » Sun Oct 22, 2017 9:41 am

I have a Dash 2 and a DL1. I want to connect this with my VEMS control system. I have bought the cable for VEMS/DASH2. If I get power to the DASH2 and DL1 and connect them with the cable, is that all I need to do to get all data from my VEMS?

I also wonder if it’s possible to get the speed in the DASH2 from the GPS sensor connected to the DL1?

I have the same products displayed in this picture (borrowed picture)

Dear Sir / Madam,

Provided you have one of our 'ECU serial interfaces' pre-programmed for the 'VEMS' ECU, you can connect this between the DL1, DASH2 & ECU and obtain data. Be aware however, the dash & data logger will still need configuring to receive, send & display the data from the ECU.

As for the speed, yes, it is possible to use & display the GPS speed from the DL1 on the DASH2. Again this will require configuration work. If you are unsure on how to configure the units, send you're configuration file(s) to my email (if you've made any thus far) - daniel@race-technology.com. Alternatively, if you inform me that you haven't made any config files yet I'll send you config files for both units that should get you up & running.

Best regards,
Support(D)

Thank you!
Yes i got the ECU interface from your website so I got the right cable.
I have no config file so please send them if it’s possible.
Please send them to John.sedin@salesadvisor.se

Can you also post a URL on how to connect the DASH2, DL1 and VEMS cable and what more cables I need to connect to get everything working. For example do I need 12V to the DASH2 and DL1 or will they get the power from the ECU interface cable?

Perfect, sounds like you have everything required to get up & running. I just need to know - which model of DL1 do you have? If unsure view the following pages:

As for the connections you need to make between the DL1, DASH2 & VEMS ECU. See the following pages:

Hope this helps!

for the mk2 to get RPM from the ECu/serial port you need to turn off the RPM input in the DL1 configuration software, if that is "on" then it will be taking the RPM from its external hardware input.

For the DL1 mk2 its only with the memory card. The much newer DL1 club is over card or USB etc...
