I have a backup file for my dash 2 but it is in .dat format not .cmg and none of the race technology software opens a .dat file. I know I can’t convert .dat to .cmg, I’m just trying to read the .dat values to copy the, down and make a new .cmg format. Thanks for the help!

Have you tried looking into the file with a hex editor to see if there are any strings? You could also try some analysis tools like binwalk etc to see if it can extract anything...... bit of a crap shoot but you may find something.
Failing that, maybe try the race technologies tech. forum?
Good luck!

Sorry for the delay in responding. Race technology helped me. I needed to click the button that said legacy products prior to opening the editing software. It then loaded the .dat with no problem.
