Review by J. Rodríguez of product provided by Moza Racing.
Moza, in its tireless pursuit of becoming the global benchmark in sim racing products, now brings us a refreshed version of their dashboard, a product that has been in their catalog for years but we hadn’t had the chance to test until now.
Presentation and Features
The Moza Racing CM2 HD Racing Dash comes in a box appropriate to its size, very well presented and protected, in line with Moza’s other products. Inside, besides the screen itself, we find everything needed to enjoy it: the mount, which can be attached to bases with compatible mounting holes, double-sided adhesive pads to place it where screws are not an option, a quick start guide, USB cable, and RJ11 cable.
As soon as you take the screen out of the box, you notice the quality of the product in your hands. It is very well built, feels solid, and has a great texture. The screen is 5 inches in size, with a 720p resolution, 60 Hz refresh rate, and 32-bit color, more than enough to show all graphics in great detail and with smooth transitions. It’s also touch-enabled, allowing you to switch between screens with a simple swipe if multiple views are configured.
It features 10 horizontally aligned LEDs on the top side for engine revs or speed limiter alerts, and 3 vertical LEDs on each side that can be used to show flag colors or other information. All this is easily and intuitively configurable through Moza’s software.
A big improvement in this new version is the ability to use custom dashboards that can be assigned and designed via Moza Pit House, just like the screen on the Moza FSR2 steering wheel we reviewed recently. However, currently, the design add-on is not yet translated into English—it’s only in Chinese—so some users may need to wait to fully utilize it. There are also some sections in Moza Pit House related to the CM2 that are untranslated, as shown in this review’s images.
As mentioned earlier, the CM2 comes with both a USB cable and an RJ11 cable. This allows you to connect it directly to your PC (for users without a current Moza base) or through the dashboard port on Moza bases that support it. In our case, we connected it directly to a Moza R16 v2.
Installation, Software, and Configuration
After unpacking all components, we start with the installation. Ideally, you would mount it directly to a base using the two mounting holes present on new Moza bases. Otherwise, you can attach it using the included double-sided adhesive pads—a less elegant but valid solution, especially for users without a current Moza base. The stand that supports the screen also allows height adjustment to fit your cockpit setup.
Once the screen is securely in place, we connect it to either the base or the PC. Note: if connecting it to the base, you’ll need to unscrew and reattach it, as the RJ11 cable routes from underneath. Yes, we had to do it again too. Also worth noting, we couldn’t get a stable connection via USB, so we don’t recommend that method for now. Aesthetically, it’s also less pleasing, since the USB-C port is awkwardly placed on the right side of the screen’s frame. We don’t quite understand that choice, but that’s how Moza designed it. When connected via RJ11 to our Moza R16 v2, it worked flawlessly—for both updates and usage during races.
The first thing to do after connecting is open Moza Pit House, the proprietary software for managing all Moza simracing products. Once launched, update the software to the latest version. The screen’s software and functionality are exactly the same as the one found in the FSR2 wheel we recently tested at this site, since both share components and firmware version.
One downside to this new version is that although you can configure custom data screens, and the software is still a bit rough, it’s not compatible with SimHub. That’s a missed opportunity that would have significantly increased its appeal.
Testing
Once everything was set to our preferences, we put it to the test primarily with iRacing in different setups. We also verified it works correctly with Assetto Corsa, and here is a link to Moza’s game compatibility list: https://support.mozaracing.com/en/support/solutions/articles/70000629729-game-support-list.
From the moment it’s turned on, you can tell the screen has great clarity and vibrant colors. Once on the track, we noticed the 60 Hz refresh rate is more than enough for the kind of data being displayed—no visible lag and everything updates as expected.
Although we generally stick with a static screen throughout a race, in some cars and races we found it useful to switch screens on the fly. Big point for the touchscreen—it lets us check fuel levels, tire status, and much more, especially useful in endurance racing for detailed info before or during pit stops.
We can also confirm that during all tests we did not experience any glitches or interruptions. It remained fully functional at all times. However, Moza Pit House software must remain open throughout its use.
Conclusions
What impressed us most about this CMS2 is how well-built it is—the excellent materials, image quality, and the capabilities offered through Moza’s software. When combined with any Moza base, it adds a real visual and functional upgrade to your setup. The downsides? Lack of SimHub support and the odd placement of the USB port on the side of the frame.
In short, as long as you’re within the Moza ecosystem, we highly recommend this accessory for its quality and potential. If you don’t own a Moza base, be aware that (as of April 2025), USB connectivity is not fully stable, which unfortunately limits the potential user base for this screen—for now.
