Hello,
I've messed with my cars for years - and I bitterly resent the difficulties in working with newer cars- where users are mostly locked out of the electronics. I have a fair amount of computing experience as well, so I've been exploring both the OBD and CAN-BUS side of my more recent mercs.
I have been systematically sniffing the CAN-BUS, mostly through the diagnostic connector, working out what CAN ID's are what- and how some of them communicate. Not easy. I'm using a Lawicel CANUSB interface with the traffic observation via CAN-MON PRO from WGsoft (germany).
Has anybody else had a go at this kind of project?
The software can write to the BUS as well - so I can mimic other CAN IDs - once I decide which commands do what..
Any help would be useful!
thanks
Graeme
