With the release of the C185 Display Logger, MoTeC now offers the best of both worlds, a stunning full color display combined with a powerful, professional level data logger. The vivid 125mm screen (approx 5") is high resolution, ultra bright and anti-reflective for easy reading in direct sunlight. It comes standard with 250 MB internal logging memory (can be upgraded to 500 MB). The C185 acquires data from other devices such as an ECU and can display data channels, warning alarms, lap times, fuel calculations, minimum corner speeds, maximum straight speeds and much more.
Includes a built-in array of 10 programmable, multi-colored LEDs for shift lights and other driver alerts. Numerous selectable layouts supplied, including an RPM sweep, RPM dial and a multi-value style ideal for the dyno or warm up. Each is available in four color variations. (red, green, blue, white) All layouts include a multi-purpose, zero-centred bar graph primarily for Lap Gain/Loss but can be configured for other purposes such as Fuel Level, G-Force (Lat or Long) and Steering Angle.
Three programmable 'pages' enable users to tailor layouts for different scenarios, for example: Dyno, Qualifying, Race, Driver 1/ Driver 2. Ensures only the most relevant information is displayed at any given time. Configurable channels, measurement units and warnings. 48 user-defined alarms, for example Low Oil Pressure, Low Fuel, Fastest Lap. Display Creator upgrade enables full customization of the display graphics, including imported images,
logos, custom icons, tailored screen layouts, creative gauges and more. Supports Wideband Lambda from MoTeC PLMs or LTCs, using Bosch LSU or NTK UEGO 5 wire sensors. Includes i2 Standard Data Analysis software (Pro Analysis version optional). Compatible with E888 and E816 expanders, and providing full functional use. GPS Data and Lap Timing.

C185 Upgrades
Several options are available as upgrades to customize and expand your system. These additional features are activated through a simple password system, at any time when you need it. Upgrading a previously purchased MoTeC product? Click here.
Display Creator: (optional upgrade)
- The Display Creator upgrade allows users to design custom graphics and screen layouts for display on the C185 screen, tailoring the look and functionality to a specific application. Designs can incorporate images, logos, icons, color themes and creative gauge ideas. The Display Creator software is free to download and experiment, but the upgrade must be enabled in order to send screen configurations to the device.
Data Logging + USB Logging: (optional upgrade)
- This upgrade increases the internal logging memory from 250 MB to 500 MB and activates USB logging for the recording of data from Sensors, Ecus and other Devices.
USB Dash Download Cable: (optional upgrade)
- Required for USB logging.
OBD II to Display Loom: (optional upgrade)
- The OBD-II loom is a plug-in adapter that connects the C185 terminated loom to the standard, on-board diagnostics port of many modern vehicles. This enables the C185 to display and log a selection of channels, which differs from car to car. Vehicle compatibility will vary from region to region, but as a guide most cars built after 2007 have an OBD-II connector.
i2 Pro Data Analysis: (optional upgrade)
- This upgrade activates the i2 Pro data analysis software. A i2 Feature License is also available. Provides access to advanced i2 Pro data analysis software with multiple graph overlays, X-Y plots, advanced math functions, synchronized video (automatic alignment), and flexible layouts to accommodate almost any user preference.
Sensor Input Channels: (optional upgrade)
This upgrade activates additional inputs for the wiring of sensors into the C185.
Includes:
- 6 Analog voltage inputs.
