So I have been searching a bit and cannot find a good answer. I did email Haltech and am waiting for a reply, but I am keen to find out to make some purchases before the end of the year. Aside from AEM's CD-5/7 displays, has anyone configured the Haltech Elite series to accept CAN communications from any of AEM's AEMnet devices? (Wideband controller, 8 channel k-type thermo module, etc)?

And a bit of reasoning for this setup vs Haltech components:

- My workplace gets very good discounts on AEM products, not Haltech.
- This is for an REW swapped rx8 project, and I am only aware of Haltech Elie ECU's having correct CAN communication to the chassis to retain most functions. (Adaptronic was aquired by Haltech and discontinued.)

 

CAN is CAN, but I suppose it comes down to knowing all of the ID addresses wrt pulling it all together

but to add to this per your comments on the other forum, the CAN has to be configured to compliment each other. In the case of AEM and Haltech, they’re competing rivals so therein is an issue of sorts. However, per the AiM display or logger example I provided over there, that’s a cooperative situation where they both can communicate across CAN with each other to provide expansion capability. Regardless you will still have to use the native devices for that to work. In that particular example it would require using the AiM supported components with the AiM solution no different than the Haltech supported components on that other side as well..

Not easily. Both have different messaging and neither have user programmability. So they won’t talk to each other. You could employ a CAN translator. But the expense and time involved to get it to work would negate any savings on the peripherals.
