What is CANBUS

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓ 6,818 views

What’s CAN Bus?
CAN (Controller Area Network) Bus is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer, which has quickly gained acceptance into the automotive and aerospace industries. CAN is a serial bus protocol to connect individual systems and sensors as an alternative to conventional multi-wire looms. It allows automotive components to communicate on a single or dual-wire networked data bus up to 1Mbps.

Development of the CAN Bus started originally in 1983 at Robert Bosch GmbH. The protocol was officially released in 1986 at the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) congress in Detroit, Michigan. The first CAN controller chips, produced by Intel and Philips, came on the market in 1987. Bosch published the CAN 2.0 specification in 1991.

Before CAN Bus
Since the early 1940’s, automakers have continually improved their vehicles’ technology by integrating an increasing amount of electronic components. As technology progressed, the vehicles became more complex as electronic components replaced mechanical systems and provided additional comforts, convenience, and safety features. Up until the release of CAN Bus, vehicles contained enormous amounts of wiring which was necessary to interconnect all of the various electronic components.

Due to the vast amount of wiring, an after market installation requires the installer not only to understand how the integrated systems communicate with each other, but also requires numerous connections to be made throughout the vehicle. To make matters worse, the vehicle wiring differs between vehicle years, makes, and even models. As a result, installers need to be highly knowledgeable and perform intensive labor for the most trivial after market equipment or the installation shop experiences countless hours of lost time on troubleshooting and sometimes even expensive claims for damaged OEM equipment. During this progression, installation shops have had an increasingly difficult time finding qualified staff that are able to perform everyday installations and as a result, have either had to increase their prices to compensate for the required specialization and labor, or simply had to turn away the customers who owned complex vehicles.

Introducing CAN Bus
The BMW 850 coupe was the first CAN Bus vehicle to enter the market in 1986. By reducing the vehicles wiring by 2km, the vehicles overall weight was significantly reduced by at least 50kg and using only half the connectors. For the first time, each of the vehicles systems and sensors were able to communicate at very high speeds (25kbps – 1Mbps) on a single or dual-wire communication line as opposed to the previous multi-wire looms. However, the introduction of CAN Bus also increased the vehicles complexity and made after market installations even more difficult and in many cases impossible to perform.

In 2006, over 70% of all automobiles sold in North America will utilize CAN Bus technology. Beginning in 2008, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) requires 100% of the vehicles sold in the USA to use the CAN Bus communication protocol while the European Union has similar laws. Several new after market devices have been introduced into the market that utilize the CAN Bus protocol but until now, there have been no new devices that assist the aging after market remote starter and alarm system technology. Now there is an after market module that offers remote starter and alarm connectivity to the CAN Bus communication protocol.

How to find the CAN Bus Wires?

Most of the higher specification GPS Navigation systems will require a speed pulse signal as a minimum. Many also have inputs for illumination and?reverse signals. On CAN Bus vehicles these signals may not be present so a CAN Bus Interface will be required.

It is easy to identify the wiring as it is just a twisted pair of thin wires. These will be found all over the vehicle – sometimes in with a conventional main loom. The wires are called ‘CAN High’ and ‘CAN Low’ and it is important that any interface is connected?correctly to these wires. All Bridgwater Electronics Interfaces have an LED to indicate when the wires have been connected correctly.

Check the Installation instructions to see what size drill bit to use. please don’t make the hole too large or the camera will fall out.

Use wire cutters to cut the wires, leaving enough excess wire to reconnect. Strip the ends of the wire to expose the bare wire using wire strippers. Splice the wires together using a two-into-one connector. This will give the camera power when you put the car in reverse.

5.Route the camera’s output wire to car DVD player and connect the wire to the car dvd player’s input.  And then reconnect the battery, start the car and put the car in reverse. The car dvd player should turn on and give you a view of what’s behind your car.
