The AEM CD-5 Carbon Flat Panel Digital Display offers a sleek, high-performance solution for race cars and custom vehicle dashboards, combining durability with advanced features. Featuring a 5-inch full-color, daylight-readable screen with an 800x480 resolution, it provides clear visibility in various lighting conditions. Its rugged, lightweight flow-molded carbon fiber composite housing ensures durability and a premium appearance, making it suitable for flush mount installation or in-dash enclosures with tight tolerances. The display is designed without buttons or an LED shade hood, relying on programmable remote controls and onboard LEDs for operation and alerts.

Seven ultra-bright, programmable LEDs span the top of the housing, functioning as RPM and shift lights. Users can customize the LEDs' brightness, color, and flashing patterns based on RPM ranges or shift points, providing vital visual cues during racing. The display accepts CAN input only, making it compatible with a wide range of ECU systems, including factory ECUs from 2008 and newer via plug-and-play OBDII CAN adapters. Additionally, the dash supports multiple programmable pages, including main, alarm, on-change, and startup screens, allowing drivers to organize data according to their preferences.

Designed with versatility in mind, the AEM CD-5 can be expanded with various modules such as vehicle dynamics, GPS, and additional temperature sensors, which can be integrated via optional CAN modules sold separately. The display includes two user-programmable LEDs for custom alerts and two switch inputs for displaying user-triggered events like blinkers or high beams. Its compatibility with AEMnet CAN-enabled devices and non-AEM CAN bus devices enables seamless integration of multiple data sources. The interface supports over 200 warning icons, with user-configurable graphics and text, and the ability to create custom display layouts or modify existing ones using the free DashDesign graphics editor software.

Additional features include an odometer function, night operation dimming, an anti-glare filter, and IP66 water resistance for durability in harsh environments. The display can optionally include a 20 Hz GPS receiver and antenna for advanced data logging, lap timing, and vehicle tracking. Plug-and-play adapter cables facilitate integration with popular ECUs such as Holley, Link, MSD Atomic, and Vi-Pec. The unit supports internal logging at up to 1,000Hz per channel, with or without onboard storage, providing comprehensive data analysis capabilities. Overall, the AEM CD-5 Carbon Dash combines high-quality construction, extensive customization options, and advanced data management features, making it an ideal choice for professional racing and high-performance automotive applications.
