Field Report: How did Haltech keep THIS a secret?
About this episode
Scott from Haltech discusses the IC7 digital display dash, highlighting its current capabilities and an upcoming firmware update that will significantly enhance its functionality. The IC7 has been a popular display-only device, but the new update will transform it into a master device with data logging, outputs, and inputs, allowing for greater control over various systems in a vehicle. Scott also shares insights on the ease of CAN communication and the anticipated release timeline for the firmware update, which promises to expand the dash's capabilities while maintaining compatibility with existing units.
The iC-7 is getting a birthday, and it’s backwards compatible.

The iC-7 has always been a display-only device and has been priced accordingly, but with an upcoming firmware update, some added functionality is coming, all without any hardware changes, payments or strings. Further to this, the dash will now be controlled within Haltechs NSP software rather than the old standalone ICC software.
Scott Hilzinger also has some other major news, @haltech is also ready to open up their CAN protocols to the public, making it easier to integrate their products with a wide range of others for those who have the desire and knowledge to do so. This has come due to popular request, and the fact that all levels of the performance industry are simply better equipped to deal with CAN communications these days compared to just a few years ago.
This was filmed at the 2023 @WorldTimeAttackChallenge in Sydney, Australia.
