PodiumConnect AEM CD7 VDM

Integrating PodiumConnect with the AEM CD7 + VDM

PodiumConnect receives data from the AEM system via the CD7 dashboard and the AEM Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM). The VDM together with the CD7 provides the minimum data required for proper operation. Additional sensor data can be broadcasted by the CD7 via CAN bus, as well as reading data from ECUs, using our standard CAN bus integration and presets

Connecting the AEM system

The AEM CD7 and VDM provides a two wire CAN bus connection to external devices. Connect the AEM CAN high and CAN low wires to the PodiumConnect CAN1 high and CAN1 low connections using the provided wiring harness.

Selecting the AEM CD7 preset

During the first time setup wizard, select the AEM CD7 preset during installation.

Verifying CAN bus connectivity
