DashCAN Interface · Screw Terminal
Your standalone ECU, live on your phone.
DashCAN wires into your CAN bus and turns your phone into a customizable race dash — up to 20 live channels at 50 updates a second, full data logging, and CAN switches that control the car. No laptop in the passenger seat.
€79.90Prefer plug-and-play? DashCAN OBD is the same interface with an OBD connector.
Specifications
High-speed CAN bus · switchable 120Ω termination · 4-pin screw terminal · data logging with XLSX export · iOS & Android
Your phone becomes the dash
Every screen below is live CAN data in the free DashCAN app. Build your own layout, pick gauge styles and colors, then log everything you see.
Built for standalone ECUs
DashCAN isn't a diagnostics dongle — it lives on the CAN bus your ECU already broadcasts on.
Your ECU broadcasts CAN
Built for standalone ECUs — like Ignitron — that stream data as custom CAN messages. Configure the broadcast once, DashCAN picks it up.
You pick the channels
RPM, MAP, lambda, oil pressure, EGT, gear — anything your ECU puts on the bus becomes a gauge on your phone.
You want control back
CAN switches write to the bus: race mode, launch presets, pit-lane limiter — functions your ECU exposes, triggered from the screen.
Clean custom install
Four screw-terminal pins — power, ground, CAN high, CAN low — wire straight into a race loom. No adapter, no OBD port required.
Not another OBD dongle
A generic ELM327 dongle asks the car polite diagnostic questions. DashCAN reads the raw stream your ECU is already shouting — and can talk back.
- Polls a handful of OBD-II diagnostic PIDs, a few times a second
- Factory-defined parameters only
- Read-only — cannot switch anything
- Standalone ECUs usually don't answer OBD-II requests at all
- Listens to raw CAN frames at full bus speed
- Any channel your ECU broadcasts — 20 at once, 50 updates/s
- Writes too: CAN switches trigger real functions in the car
- Built for standalone ECUs from day one
