Hi Dan, I've got a question regarding Savvycan + CL1000, I've watched your video on how you select hardware & connect to vehicle, and instantly you're receiving information. I've purchased a low cost can interface [Dauntless Devices in CO], and I'm having no luck in trying to achieve the very basic connection you're able to get with the CSS HW. I'm curious to know if there is an issue with the Vehicle Bus, I'm talking to a MY16 VW Jetta.

@@Hye993gtv hi there! I know exactly the issue you’re having. You need to tap the CAN BUS twisted pair *behind* the CAN Gateway in your car. I eliminated the CAN Gateway in my build as I only have one OEM CAN BUS (powertrain) so I don’t need it. However, on any VAG group car, there are multiple CAN BUS networks that converge at the gateway. The gateway filters out all CAN BUS traffic unless queried by VCDS or ODIS via OBD2 port, which is why you’re not seeing the traffic stream with your device connect to the OBD2 port. Tap the powertrain CAN BUS twisted pair at some point behind the gateway and you’ll be off and running. Hope this helps!

Great video mate, what equipment would you suggest to allow a BMW m57 Ecu to integrate into a Chrysler vehicle canbus?
@DanDulac3 күн бұрын
Hi! You would need a CAN gateway of sorts that could take signals from m57 ECU and 'publish' selected messages to the Chrysler CAN BUS (and vice versa). You might want to checkout the CAN Triple...it's a newer DiY product from mintonperformance.com. Check it out; might do exactly what you need.
@DanDulac3 күн бұрын
another thought: if the m57 ECU and Chrysler canbus are both running at the same canbus speed (usually 500Mbps), you could try simply adding the m57 to the Chrysler powertrain CANBUS. You might get message collision (if CANID's overlap between the two) but doing a "sniff" independently on each would answer that question.

Reference your CANBUS Pt1 video did your canbus transmit all the time with the ignition on. I'm looking at an Audi RS4 using SavvyCAN , with the ignition on and the bus is totally silent unless I also plug in VCDS and query a module, then everything seems to work OK. This doesn't seem to reflect what everyone else on KZfaq liike you seems to get a constant data stream from when they first plug in.
@DanDulac16 күн бұрын
@@julianpalmer4674 It’s because the OBD2 port on all factory Audi cars is wired directly to the CAN Gateway that filters out ALL CAN traffic unless it’s queried by a device (like VCDS). To see all powertrain traffic all the time, you need to tap the powertrain CAN BUS wires *behind* the CAN Gateway (thereby bypassing it). In my video, notice in the diagram I have no CAN Gateway in my car so nothing is filtering traffic. Hope this helps!

You may need someone to do a bench reflash on the unit to get the correct software installed.

I suggest that to protect the inside of the fenders you just get wheel well liners from a scrap yard cut a suitable chunk out of them and use polyurethane glue to stick them in or glue in some mounting points if you want them removable.

And as much as I love watching people modified JDM cars that I used to race on Gran Turismo when I was a kid, this is something truly unique.

Dan, I'm sure you will figure the transmission issue, so far every challenge you have overcome. I will add one thing, the bolt you picked for your tow hook is a shoulder bolt, it will need support along the machine surface adjacent to the treaded portion, this may not become an issue due to the light weigh of the Ultima, but if pulling the at an angle, the threaded portion may fracture. Fantastic work.
