Upgrade your classic or custom vehicle with a Dakota Digital instrument system and unlock a new level of data integration with the BIM-01-2 OBD-II Interface. This innovative module allows you to directly connect your Dakota Digital gauges to your vehicle’s engine diagnostic port, effortlessly extracting crucial engine and transmission data directly from your car’s computer (ECM).
The BIM-01-2 is engineered to communicate with your vehicle’s OBD-II system, providing a wealth of real-time information to compatible Dakota Digital instrument systems. Depending on your vehicle’s capabilities and sensors, you can display a variety of parameters, enhancing your driving experience and vehicle monitoring.
Essential Data at Your Fingertips:
On most OBD-II equipped vehicles, the BIM-01-2 OBD-II Interface reliably delivers core data points including:
- Speedometer: Accurate speed readings for precise monitoring.
- Tachometer: Engine RPM data to keep track of performance.
- Engine Temperature: Real-time coolant temperature to prevent overheating.
- Check Engine Indicator: Seamless integration of your vehicle’s check engine light.
Vehicle-Specific Parameters for Deeper Insight:
Beyond the essentials, the BIM-01-2 can also access vehicle-specific data, expanding your digital dash display with even more valuable information. Availability of these parameters depends on your vehicle’s ECM and sensor configuration, and may include:
- Intake Air Temperature: Monitor the temperature of air entering your engine.
- Transmission Temperature: Keep an eye on your transmission health, crucial for performance and longevity.
- Ambient Air Temperature: External temperature reading.
- Gear Position: Know exactly what gear you’re in (Note: Not available on GM Connect & Cruise packages).
- Oil Pressure: Vital engine oil pressure monitoring.
- Boost Pressure: For turbocharged or supercharged vehicles, track boost levels.
Seamless Integration with Dakota Digital Systems:
The BIM-01-2 OBD2 interface is specifically designed for Dakota Digital’s GRFX, RTX, HDX, VHX, and VFD3 series instrument systems that utilize a black plastic control module. If you have an older BIM-compatible control box with a 3.5mm headphone jack input, a 394194 adapter harness is readily available for seamless connection. Please note that earlier instrument systems with an aluminum control module are not compatible with BIM connectivity.
OBD-II Protocol Compatibility:
Ensuring broad compatibility, the BIM-01-2 supports J1850 and CAN OBD-II protocols, including SAE J1850 VPW, SAE J1850 PWM, and ISO 15765 CAN (500k 11 bit identifiers) adhering to the SAE J1979 PID protocol.
