AEM EV 8 Button Keypad - Universal - CAN Based Programmable Backlighting
AEM EV builds its EV control hardware for the demands of real world electric vehicle conversions and race programs, and the 8 Button Keypad is a good example of that thinking. It combines a compact CAN based control interface with programmable RGB backlighting, so each button can be configured to whatever function your EV platform requires while doubling as a visual safety indicator.
This listing covers the Universal 8 Button Keypad, SKU 30-8400, suited to EV conversion projects and race applications using a CAN based vehicle control system. Because it is a universal component, wiring and button mapping are configured to suit your own EV architecture rather than a factory harness.
Note: Configuration and integration require a compatible CAN based control system. This is not a plug and play accessory for a factory vehicle loom.
Key Features
- 8 button CAN based keypad with programmable backlighting per button
- Backlight colour states report system status: no light when contactors are open, yellow during pre-charge, green once contactors close and the vehicle is safe to operate, and red if a fault is detected
- Ignition switch press cycles through the three colour states to confirm correct operation
- Configurable button functions to suit custom EV control setups
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please ensure your EV control system and wiring configuration are confirmed before ordering.
