CAN Keypad or MaxxECU BT Keypad: What Is the Difference

The CAN keypad communicates with the ECU over the CAN bus and works with any supported ECU. The MaxxECU BT keypad communicates over Bluetooth and is for MaxxECU users, adding a 10 position tune selector.

Choose by your ECU. MaxxECU users get more selector positions over Bluetooth. Everyone else uses CAN, which is also the more robust connection in a high noise environment.
