Default Autometer DashControl on 2017?

Does anyone have the Autometer DashControl working on a '17?

I'm a little confused as Autometer's website says that it only works on 2014-2016, yet every single seller on eBay is saying that it works on 2014-2017 with exactly the same DL1066U model number.

I'm going to assume that Autometer knows more about what they are selling than eBay sellers do, but I live in hope...

My understanding is that the Autometer, aka, DashTronix, aka Palmer Performance Dash Controller only works on a '14 - '16 vette. It is a dead product.

Supports C7 Corvette Stingray models up though 2016

FWIW you are not missing much if you don't get it - I tried it on my '15 and sold it after a week.

I couldn't even get the DashLogic to work on my '14 - but I think it may be because I flashed all of the ECU's in my C7 to the latest software. I was just hoping that the Autometer version might have a newer firmware, and thus may work on my car - but I guess not


Is there anything else out there that can display Knock, AFR (from my wideband), Boost without resorting to gauges?

Get a HP Tuners NGauge. It's great, can display 6 pids, datalog 20 something pids, can download your tune, $450 from RDP http://rdpstore.com/ plus $20 for windshield mount from cjponyparts.com unless you want to put it in the cubby which is pretty easy....

Note: You can get the wideband signal to display but you will have to do a bit of work to get that functionality which means tapping into the wideband 5v signal and then connecting it in the back of the NGauge with a "phone jack" cable (RJ11?). That's the next project I need to do....

I've been googling for over 2hrs for a device that fits my needs and have yet to come across the nGauge! Thank You! It even supports my zeitronix wideband out of the box.

I can't take credit for that, Thank Higgs Boson, the brilliant tuner that tuned my car told me about it
