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 *:
Available on most vehicles (see below):***
- Speedometer
- Tachometer
- Engine Temperature
- Check Engine Indicator
Vehicle specific:****
- Intake Air Temperature
- Transmission Temperature
- Ambient Air Temperature
- Gear Position
- Oil Pressure
- Boost Pressure
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. Dakota Digital cannot guarantee the presence or accuracy of the Coolant Temp, Intake Temp, Transmission Temp, Ambient Air Temp, Oil Pressure, Boost or Gear Position displays since this is a function of the ECM and matching OEM functional sensors.
Notes:
*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. Earlier instrument systems with an aluminum control module are not capable of BIM connectivity
**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.
If you are concerned about compatibility with your vehicle please contact Dakota Digital's tech department.
***Ford Performance Coyote crate engine packages provide a limited amount of data available through the OBD port. Because of this, the BIM-01-2 is not recommended
****GM Connect & Cruise packages do not transmit the gear position data, preventing the BIM-01-2 from acquiring this information. The presence or accuracy of the Coolant Temp., Intake Temp., Fuel Pressure Pressure, or Air/ Fuel ratio displays since this is a function of the ECM and matching OEM functional sensors.
Bought this for Trans Temp 4l80e.
Summary: It works! I have VHX gauges so the confusing part is the Bim module manual for those gauges doesn't mention set up for Transmission temp specifically. It lists instructions for 'Engine temperature from the BIM-01-2". If you are trying to get Transmission Temperature follow the engine temp part of the set up and it will work perfectly. Selecting "SENDER DD F" showed up at "TRANS TEMP" under the selections for my SW2 displaying beneath my RPM gauge on the dash. Note* this Bim module will induce a check engine light after install and is well documented on youtube as well as how to get rid of the check engine light by inducing a load. i dont want to confuse you, just google it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Summary: Seems to work pulling the data on my ls swap c10.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Summary: Easy to install, but it is a good idea to get an obd splitter so you still have access to obd port.

Can't rate this yet
Summary: Haven't used this yet, it's still in the box. I'm months away from installing my dash with Dakota Digital gauges and swapping an LS1 into my Chevelle
