Default AiM EPM8

I have an AiM Evo 5 and would like to add power control. I have seen a few references to the AiM EPM8, but no data sheet or manual. Anyone know anything about it and if it will work with the Evo 5 and not just AiM dashes?

I have had them on order for a long time and they have not been released yet. I do not believe the specs are completely final, but I think will be eight channels, 20 amps each, slave to any RS3 configured dash. It should work with your Evo5 from what they have said so far, but it's not in the software yet to confirm.

I would not plan on it for this season, perhaps towards the end of the year. A satellite PDM08...

Thanks both. I know it is unlikely, but would love to see Deutsch Autosport connectors on the EPM to match the Evo 5, similar to what MoTech has on their PDM.

For a small number of add-on circuits, check out https://www.micropdm.com/ . It's CAN-based, uses the standard Blink Marine keypads, and is super easy to integrate with AiM and other CAN devices.
Under $600 with the keypad and enclosure.

cool little device, but can only do 2.5A so you end up needing relays for many circuits.

Yup. I've got just one relay (for an add-on rear glass defroster).

I have now seen an August date mentioned for this. Anyone seen any updates on when an EPM8 may be available?

I have not heard this, but haven't asked recently either.

Hard to say if it can entirely be blamed on Covid, but the release dates for the PDM32 and PDM08 were announced, missed, and re-announced several times. If this is absolutely needed for your build and you are hoping to race, etc - I wouldn't bet on it.
