Has anyone gotten a generic canbus display such as AEMCD7 to work on a Tesla swap?

You mean like a Tesla motor with an aftermarket control system? On the T-2C one there is 2 canbus networks on the controller. One is between the motor and controller, the other is for the rest of the car, bms, charger, etc. If your screen is connected to the 2nd canbus network, you'd have to make sure the controller is forwarding signals from the motor, or generating its own. What controller have you got?

Thats exactly what I have. Model s drive with T2c controller. I bought the aem cd7 thinking it would be fairly self explanatory however it’s pretty much blank. Sounds like I need the files for the Tesla “dbc “ that’s proving to be hard to get. The controller manufacturer won’t give it to me saying just use the iPad…and the company that sold me the display has them but hasn’t been very forthcoming. I’m not afraid to put in the work but doesn’t sound like I can do anything without the files.

Did you get the T2c from EV controls? I was planning to go to Ottawa to get one, and to make sure that I have everything that I needed to make it work. ( Probably after the trucker demonstrations!). How good are the instructions? I plan to use the iPad mini display. Thanks, I am new to this

You will be good with the mini it connects and seems to work well. I should have gone the same route. Just Now I have this $1500 display and can’t use it I guess

As a guess, your display is intended to be used with AEM gear and would only plug and play with their VCU. Does it allow custom can message receiving in the setup program?

There are Tesla dbc files online as well as aem
