Streamline your dashboard and gain complete control over your vehicle´s data with the VDO VL Flex 52 J1939 1.4´´ Monitor. This revolutionary instrument from the trusted VDO brand consolidates a wide array of engine and system parameters into a single, compact, and highly configurable 52mm gauge. Designed for modern vehicles and marine applications equipped with a J1939 CAN bus network, the VL Flex eliminates the need for multiple individual gauges, saving valuable dashboard space, reducing wiring complexity, and providing a clean, modern aesthetic. It´s the intelligent solution for vehicle manufacturers, system integrators, and enthusiasts looking for powerful, flexible data visualization.
The core benefit of the VL Flex lies in its incredible versatility. Using the companion PC configuration tool, you can fully customize the display to show the exact information you need. Choose a single value for a large, easy-to-read display, or select a quad-view to monitor four different parameters simultaneously. From engine RPM and oil pressure to fuel levels and battery voltage, this single instrument adapts to your specific monitoring requirements. This makes it one of the most adaptable and cost-effective digital monitors available, perfect for boats, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and custom vehicle builds.
