Supporting J1850 and CAN protocols, it delivers real-time speed, tachometer, and engine temperature readings, with optional access to advanced metrics like intake air and transmission temperatures. Its precision calibration feature ensures your speedometer stays accurate despite tire or gear changes, making it an essential upgrade for modernizing classic and contemporary vehicles alike. ## Description The BIM-01-2 OBD-II (J1850/CAN) Interface allows you to plug directly into the engine diagnostic port, extracting engine and transmission data from the vehicle's computer (ECM). The BIM-01-2 will collect and output the following information to Dakota Digital Instrument Systems *: Always available: Speed Tachometer Engine Temp Check Engine Indicator Vehicle specific: Intake Air Temp Transmission Temp Ambient Air Temp Gear Position Oil Pressure Please note: Due to the various factory and modified ECM's, additional data including (Intake Temp, Transmission Temp, Ambient Air Temp, Oil Pressure, and Gear Position) may be available, but will vary from application to application. We cannot guarantee the presence or accuracy of the Intake Temp, Transmission Temp, Ambient Air Temp, Oil Pressure, or Gear Position displays since this is a function of the ECM and matching OEM functional sensors. This product can provide a +/- 25 percent calibration to compensate for tire size or gear changes which have affected the speedometer output. *The BIM-01-2 is designed to decode the information provided by the ECM through OBD-II and supply this information to the VFD3 rev. G and VHX control box instrument systems only. Earlier control boxes (with an aluminum case) are not compatible with the BIM family of Expansion Modules. **The BIM-01-2 is designed for J1850 and CAN OBD protocols only. Compatible with OBDII protocols SAE J1850 VPW, SAE J1850 PWM and ISO 15765 CAN 500k 11 bit identifiers that follow the SAE J1979 PID protocol.****GM Connect & Cruise packages do not transmit the gear position data, preventing the BIM-01-2 from acquiring this information. Review: 1950 Chev 3100 - Nice quality ! Great back lighting for the eyes at night. Installed in my 1950 Chev 3100 LS swap Easy installation and programming. Review: Great product - Works phenomenal ## Features - The BIM-01-2 OBD-II (J1850/CAN) Interface allows you to plug directly into the engine diagnostic port, extracting engine and transmission data from the vehicle's computer (ECM). - The following info will be output to Dakota Digital systems by the BIM-01-2: speed, tach, engine temp. - *The BIM-01-2 is designed to decode the information provided by the ECM through OBD-II and supply this information to the RTX, HDX, VHX and VFD3 systems with a black plastic control module. For any BIM-compatible control boxes which contain the 3.5mm headphone jack BIM input, add part number 394193 adaptor harness.

Great back lighting for the eyes at night. Installed in my 1950 Chev 3100 LS swap Easy installation and programming. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by E***S on September 22, 2025* Works phenomenal ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made the install very simple! *by P***P on March 9, 2024* Used the BIM module in an 82 c10 with a vortec swap. Made the installation pretty much plug and play minus a couple extra things. Am able to unplug and run hptuners and plug right back up like nothing ever happened. May look into getting a splitter for the obd2 but not necessary in my case tbh.
