The TD5SPY DASH is for those who prefer not to use their cell phones for monitoring their landies but want a dedicated unit that can be mounted in the vehicle. Its taken us a while but we have risen to the occasion and launched the TD5SPY DASH.

This neat little unit, provides the same essential engine monitoring features as the origonal TD5SPY but is connected directly to the OBDII port on the vehicle.

The dimensions of the TD5SPY DASH are: 95 (L) x 63 (W) x 23 (H) cm.

FEATURES

The DASH unit is supplied with a number of cable options to suite different vehicles and mount locations. The basic cable provides power to the unit and connects to the OBDII connector.

In addition, the unit is also connected to the ignition power on the vehicle, so it connects and disconnects automatically when the vehicle is started or stopped. See our short video.

The unit has 2 modes of operation,

• OBDII
• OBDII + ADDITIONAL SENSORS.

The unit is supplied by default with the OBDII license enabled. A seperate license must be purchased to enable the ADDITIONAL SENSORS.

Powerful configuration options provide the following features:

• Alert configuration
• Portrait or Landscape display orientation
• Fuel tank settings
  
• Sensor management (if licensed)
• WIFI configuration with 'Over the Air' configuration and firmware updates

Unit is suitable for both TD5 Defenders and Discovery 2's

TD5SPY DASH ADDITIONAL SENSORS (OPTION)

The TD5SPY DASH does more than just display engine ECU data, it also has the capability to connect to additional sensors that are not fitted as standard to Defenders and Discovery 2's.

The sensors shown below can be purchased when the DASH Sensor license is activated. Various sensor adapters are also availlable to suite installations in different vehicles.

The following additional sensors are supported by the TD5SPY DASH:
