AEM CD-5L Carbon Logging Display

The AEM CD-5L Carbon Logging Display is a compact, lightweight, and powerful digital dash display built for racers, tuners, and high-performance enthusiasts. Featuring a brilliant 5” full-colour LCD, integrated shift lights, and robust CAN integration, the CD-5L delivers real-time data and onboard logging in a slim, rugged carbon fibre composite housing.

Capture, View & Log Everything
The CD-5L includes 200MB of internal logging (up to 1,000Hz/channel), enabling you to capture critical vehicle data from two independent CAN bus networks. No extra modules are needed to communicate with AEMnet or third-party CAN devices—just plug in, configure, and drive. It's validated to work with over 250 non-AEM CAN devices and 2008+ factory ECUs via OBDII (adapter PN 30-2217 sold separately).
