FAQ 

This chapter collects recurring questions and offers solutions. 

9.1

 

Display does not turn on 

If your display does not turn on, there is probably a problem with the power supply, and you need to 
check your 12V wiring in the vehicle again. 

If you look into the housing at the back of the display between the plugs, you will see a green LED 
light up when the voltage is applied. 

If the LED lights up but your display still does not start, it must be sent to our service for further 
diagnosis. Please contact 

[email protected]

 by email before submitting to describe your problem 

and discuss further steps. 

9.2

 

I don't get any data 

If your display cannot establish a successful Can Bus connection, the Can Bus icon in the upper right 
corner of the status bar will be red. Please make sure that Can Bus Speed, Termination and TRI File 
are correct. 

If you use our OBD cable, you can still check the pinout for correctness.  The yellow wire should go to 
connector C pin 8 and the white wire to connector C pin 7. On the OBD socket are Can High on pin 6 
and Can Low on pin 14. With a continuity tester, the passage can be checked from the OBD 
connector to plug C and a fault at this point can be diagnosed or ruled out. 

If no improvement occurs, please contact 

[email protected]

 with a complete description of the 

error. 

9.3

 

Gear indicator does not work 

The gear indicator calculates the gear from engine speed and speed. If your gear indicator does not 
work, this can have various causes: 

 

The 

sensors

 RPM and Speed are incorrectly assigned on the page in oDSS. 

 

The gear ratios for each gear are entered incorrectly in the oDSS. 

 

The RPM and Speed sensors provide erroneous values. 

9.4

 

My Performance Meter runs permanently 

If the 

Performance Meter

 runs continuously, even when stationary, the 

widget

 is assigned  the wrong 

sensor

. To assign the correct sensor,  you have to edit the corresponding page in oDSS and assign the 

correct sensor. 

9.5

 

How do I change my startup screen? 

It is possible to change the start image. To change it, you have to upload a 24 bit .bmp file with a size 
of 128x 128pixels via the 

upload section

 via the 

oDSS

. The successful upload is acknowledged in the 

progress bar with 

success

With the next reboot of your data display, you will now see the new start image. MS-Paint has 
proven itself for scaling and converting your image file. 

9.6

 

How can I fine-tune a Can Bus sensor? 

The speedometer in your vehicle shows you a speed of 100 km/h, but only 95 km/h is shown on your 
display. On the display we show you the true value and not an embellished (the same applies to the 
coolant temperature) value.
