MOZA CM2 HD Racing Dashboard Display Review

Introduction, Specifications, and Pricing

MOZA keeps expanding its product line-up, and we are a little late to the party with today's offering: the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash. This dash has been around for a while, but given that we only started our sim-related coverage a few months ago, we are still catching up.

The MOZA CM2 Racing Dash replaces the original MOZA CM Racing Dash, with more refined aesthetics, features, and a better screen resolution, jumping from 800 x 480 to 1280 x 720 on the 5-inch display. MOZA has also added touchscreen compatibility, ten LED shift lights, and six RGB flag indicator lights. The MOZA CM2 Racing Dash is priced at $199.00, making it considerably cheaper than the CONSPIT CSD Dashboard at $309 and the GRID Display DDU-5 at $328. There are, of course, many Etsy sellers and other brands that offer either DDU kits or prebuilt units. If you are just starting out and looking for a new DDU, the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash might be worth considering, given its lower entry-level price. Is it any good? Well, today we will find out.

Packaging

37

Our MOZA CM2 Racing Dash sample arrived in a plain cardboard box to protect the retail packaging inside. Once unboxed, the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash features full-color printing on the front, showcasing the display's capabilities. The MOZA logo is in the top-left corner, with the product name centered at the bottom.

Some basic information on the dashboard model and QR codes is around the back. Along one edge, you'll find details on screen size, UI customization, construction from high-grade aluminum, RGB color options, the processor, and height adjustment.

That's pretty much it for the packaging, so it's time to get this DDU unboxed.

Unboxing the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash

37

37

Sliding the top of the box off, our user guide sits on top of the display itself. Everything is packaged well to protect the screen, sitting nestled in open-cell foam. With our first look at the screen itself, it's a nice-looking dash with the RGB LEDs stealthily encased within the aluminum housing.

37

Pulling the screen out of the box, below are the accessories in a small bag. The display comes with the mount preinstalled, which is why there are cutouts in the foam here.

37

37

Before we get to the dash itself, the accessories include mounting screws to attach the dash to your wheelbase, in M3x8 and M3x14 variants, along with an Allen Key. There are also four 3M double-sided foam pads to provide an alternative mounting option. Cables are provided to hook everything up, including a USB cable to connect to your PC or a MOZA wheelbase directly via an RJ11 port.

Now moving on to the centerpiece: the dashboard itself. The MOZA CM2 Racing Dash stands out in the specs. It has a 5-inch, 1280*720 display with 16.7 million colours. The design is thin and compact, with adjustable dash height and a 60Hz refresh rate. It's lightweight at 800 grams. The dimensions are approximately 14.8cm x 3cm x 9.1cm (Width x Depth x Height).

37

Looking closely, you can see the integrated RGB LEDs within the casing. The MOZA CM2 Racing Dash features 10 RPM indicators along the top, with three additional LEDs on each side for event notifications, flags, etc.

37

37

The rear of the dash features an aircraft-grade, all-aluminum housing with fins that extend to the center, which appear to be heat sinks for the internal components. The housing is also nicely contoured with the mount attached using thumbscrews.

37

37

Viewed from either side, you can see the thin MOZA CM2 Racing Dash profile. The USB-C port is on the right side, not the rear, so consider your setup. I loved the CONSPIT CSD Dashboard's two USB ports in different spots. With the MOZA CS2 Racing Dash priced much lower, extra ports would increase the cost and might make it less accessible for sim racers.

37

Shown from below, you can see the RJ11 port for connecting the dashboard directly to a MOZA wheelbase. This will help eliminate extra cables around your rig. Four holes are included within the bracket for mounting, or you can use the included 3M foam pads should you want to place the dashboard somewhere else.

The mounting bracket attaches using two aluminum knurled thumbscrews and associated washers. With the bracket removed, you can see the mounting options more clearly.

Four height adjustment points are available, with the bracket notched for each position. Should you want to mount this differently or use an alternative solution, the holes in the dash casing are spaced at 50mm centers. Keep in mind that they sit below the central fins on the casing, so some stand-offs may be required. With the unboxing and walk-around now complete, it's time to get this installed and ready to test, with the first job setting up the MOZA software.

Installation & Software

37

For testing this dash, I first downloaded and installed the MOZA Pit House software version 1.3.7.3 to get up and running. Once recognized, the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash needed an update. With this done, I could then take a look at what the software side has to offer. We are running v1.2.6.8 of the CM2 Display Firmware and v1.2.3.4 of the CM2 Racing Dashboard.

37

The first section of the menu shows dashboard settings on the left. A list of premade dashboards appears below. Here, we can adjust brightness, standby time, and power mode using the dashboards. One thing I would like from MOZA is a physical power button instead of just a standby timer, so you can turn off the display immediately when not in use to save power.

MOZA includes good choices, from formula style to GT. Even the amazing Lovely Dashboard appears, so you aren't short of starter options. Click each dash for a larger preview, to edit the dash, or to save it as a new preset. For now, we will pick a dash screen to use. Then, go to the RPM LED tab to see what we can adjust.

37

We can adjust a number of options for the RPM LEDs, the color of each of the ten lights, their brightness, and display mode, depending on how you want them to actuate. Each light can also be adjusted to activate at a specific RPM, so you can set this up to what fits best for you.

37

The last main tab covers the telemetry LEDs and what functions they should cover. Again, you can change the color of each LED for each action as needed, and turn them on and off. This is good, so you can only have, for example, Yellow Flag and Pit Limiter activated, keeping things minimal and allowing you to concentrate on the track. Sadly, you can't change the activation flash to static or to a certain pattern, but that is where more expensive dashes come into their own, with extended functionality.

37

One last thing to cover within MOZA PIT House is the ability to create a custom dash screen or edit an existing one if you just want to tweak something slightly. By clicking New from the main dashboard page's right-hand side menu, we can give our profile a name and start creating. For this review, I will create a very simple dash so that you get the idea, but you could go mad here, create something unique, or try to copy a real-world dash screen you might have seen on TV or at the track.

37

It's a simple drag-and-drop interface, and it didn't take me long to start loading this up with a few basic items. Creating something here can get quite involved, with layers available to build up the look and help you get really creative.

37

I've gone with a simple rev counter at the top, with a gear indicator below. To the left, I have a track map, with a curve indicator above, and a car radar to the right, sat below a sliding switch.

The lower third contains pedal position indicators, with Best, Delta, and Current lap time information at the bottom. Dragging the item required from the top menu to the position, I could then add text boxes to label everything. Borders, fonts, fill; there are lots of options to play with, to really get this looking amazing.

37

37

Once you are happy with your design, save the file and select it to display on the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash. If you want to export this to send to a friend, you can do that too, and if someone has a dash you like, you can simply import it into the MOZA Pit House software.

37

Here is a quick glance at the Lovely Dashboard in editing mode. I love this exactly the way it is, so I am not going to mess with it! If you want to make a few changes, the process here is quite straightforward, and you can soon adjust the layout or color of every item.

Final Thoughts

Over the past two weeks, I have been using the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash to put it through its paces in all variants of Asetto Corsa, then share my thoughts. Here we go.

37

The display is great, and I didn't experience much glare from the glass while racing. The screen colors are nice and deep, with good contrast and brightness. While it's only a 1280 x 720 display, the text looks crisp, and I didn't struggle to read anything. Both the RPM and telemetry LEDs are also really nice, and given their enclosures, there is no light bleed into the surrounding area. With the ability to adjust the brightness of both the display and LEDs, you get a DDU that works perfectly well during the day or at night, when you want to race in the dark without them being too bright and in your face. A 60Hz refresh rate is also good, so the display can keep up with ever-changing rev counters, gauges, and the like, lap after lap.

37

As with the CONSPIT CSD Dashboard I reviewed recently, the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash features a touchscreen for flipping through dash pages and other available dashboard layouts, but I hardly ever use this function once I am in a race. ETS2 players, and other trucking and farming simmers, will make use of this to scroll around the GPS page, to see where they need to be heading, but for fast-paced racing, it's a less viable option to make use of. When I do need to change the displayed data in race, I push a button on my steering wheel to cycle the available options, and this is where MOZA starts to come up short, as this function isn't available on the CM2.

37

For the money, MOZA has produced a great plug-and-play dashboard that seamlessly integrates with its own ecosystem, or that can be used as a standalone unit. With that said, little things like not being able to change a dash page by pushing a button are quickly noticed once you have experienced what SimHub has to offer.

37

Not having SimHub integrated into this unit makes it feel starved and restricted, unable to fulfill its true potential, but you have to remember the price of this dash compared with some of the other options out there. Like other sim racing components, not having out-of-the-box integration with SimHub does feel like a manufacturer is going to miss out by default, and personally, when I am looking at new hardware for my own setup, I have to admit it's one of the first things I look for. No SimHub, then there's potentially no purchase. Here is where I want to see MOZA, and other manufacturers, embrace what is on offer and incorporate such a great piece of software into their products. There is no point in MOZA trying to do something that someone else already does better than them, and by a long way, I should add.

37

As a standalone unit, I have no qualms with the MOZA CM2 Racing Dash; it's very well built, has great inbuilt functionality, and lets you spend hours creating your very own DDU screen. If you have no interest in, or want to pretend that SimHub doesn't exist, then it's a great DDU that offers plenty of value for the price.
