I love the interface and the flexibility of this product and I love the dash design tool set. The hardware is made over seas and is garbage. I bought the logging model and the switches didn’t work more that a handful of times. Don’t waste your money, buy the Chinese vendor version for a 100$ and save yourself 1799$.

Do not buy this product! Bought this for my rzr 1000, which the particular display was meant for. Original rzr display gives codes when the MIL warning light comes on. AEM display only gives you a red light with no explanation. Emailed company to ask for a solution, or if the make a code reader for their product. The said no, and the only solution is to take it to a dealer to have the codes checked. So far it has thrown multiple codes and usually I am forced to just ignore them because it is not feasible to take it to a dealer to check it every time it lights up. Worthless!….
