Customizable warning and shift lights
Variable speed playback
Night and Day mode
SD card slot

Installation

Your LCD Dash came with a paper cut out that is to scale, which will allow you to drill the necessary
holes with ease. The rubber shock absorbers that act as the mounting bolts should not be removed, and
removal will void your warranty. To connect your LCD to your Main module, use the supplied CAN
cable, put appropriate wire colors into the green LCD connector and connect the other end into any
CAN Bus section within the Main module.
After the module has been mounted, connect the CAN bus cable to the green connector supplied with
your LCD. You can then run the wire from the LCD module to the Main module. Cut to length, strip
back the insulation so the four colored wires can reach a CAN bus port and so the bare shield wire can
be wrapped around one of the four ground posts. Strip a small section of insulation of each of the four
colored wires and place into the appropriately colored terminal, then connect the shield wire to a
ground post.
