The BavarianSimTec DDU5 is a sim racing dashboard with a 5" 800×480 LCD at 60 Hz and 18 RGB LEDs, housed in 6061 CNC aluminium with Gorilla Glass, SimHub-compatible and with a MagicArm included, for drivers who want race telemetry always in view.
Inspired by professional dashboards like the Bosch DDU10, the DDU5 moves the dash information off the wheel to gain field of view: RPM, gear, lap times, fuel and tyre temperatures in real time. Its 18 LEDs in a 3 | 12 | 3 configuration work as RevLights and flag, ABS or traction-control alerts, and the aluminium MagicArm lets you set it at the exact angle of your cockpit in seconds.
