When we're not working on cars, we're watching the Grand Tour!

So much research and effort gone into this, but it's good that there are lots of threads and other people doing this stuff to help when you're researching

[aXc]

Such a plot twist: Realdash pointed you to Finland. Would not be handy to create content with all the snow and ice here. Interesting content as always 👌🏻

[rodneywilson]

Just found your channel and thank God. I've been trying to accomplish this on my own. Glad to see your progress on this platform. Staying subscribed and can't wait to see how far you get brother 💪

[maxmoughal]

Wow this is amazing insight, doesn't surprise me you spent 20 hours on this, it sounds exactly like the kind of thing i could get lost in for hours once i got my head around it. Totally agree on the ELM327 stuff, i used to use an app called dash command to read and display gauge data on my pioneer app radio, it looked cool as f**k but was far too laggy. In the end the only thing it was useful for was piping data into an app called Harrys lap timer where i could then video a track day and overlay the speed, throttle and brake inputs, it would also use GPS data to know where on the track you were to give you somewhat accurate section and lap times, you could also export the data and do all sorts of analysis with it. The idea being a super cheap and cheerful race data logger you could then use to learn where to improve your lap times :)

Hell yeah! If we can figure out a custom dash it would be amazing. I also agree about what you said with the id4. $1300 or whatever is a lot of money when it doesnt add more useful live data plus the skins arent as good as what you showed.

[josephbargo]

Use the elm device to send the requests and sniff the can bus for the response

Also RealDash is updating those green IDs. It stays green when there is no change so you can see what bytes are changing

[ben]

mate your really getting into it I'm impressed !

[carheadunit]

Wow.... That dash looks awesome.. i have a question.... Can this set up read all data what we get on our regular instrument cluster? Like indicators, fuel level, seat belt warning etc....

[Nico_i_DCT]

Very nice information Andrew. Thanks for sharing. Dutch regards, Nico.

[midwestbmw]

I understood almost none of this. In fact I have a headache now. Nonetheless this is cool shit and I’m glad you’re taking it upon yourself to explore this area of the platform. Also, I NEED that Russian dash in my life!

[Speedlmt]

can you elaborate on shorting the 2 pins out mate. do they need to stay shorted out? do i solder them or do i just short them for a second then remove?

[friguy]

Cool! Love the content! As always LOL.

[gvrstrae]

Keep in mind this is an early 2000s developed car... Nowadays there's a LOT more data being sent over the numerous different busses in a car 😃
That being said you make me want to play with CAN on my car 😉

[RBGgermanKXF]

Don't bother with an AIM dash for future reference. They're decent for racing etc but they're no where near customisable like you want.
This is something I've always wanted to look into just not had the time. Played with CAN at work and programming standalone but not gotten round to doing this so really interested to see how you get on

[siimk]

I don't know the particulars of E9X but generally CAN bus contains only the data that is useful for a modules other than the sender. For example vehicle speed is needed by the cluster, DME?, transmission controller, radio, etc. Fuel mixture and boost pressure are important only for the DME so there is a good chance that they are absent on the K/PT BUS. At least in normal operating condition. They probably are sent when INPA sends a diagnostic request to display the values but even then it may be at a lower rate.

[jaydenpocklington]

Super keen for this, happy to send you a id4motion cluster on a short term loan if you want to try and reverse engineer any of it

[DakotaWebber]

You will most likely find it along with the other 0Ax addresses as the lower address also determines higher priority, which most of the engine management like throttle position etc is, which im sure you already know by now

[ditmarh]

Heey, really liked your video and the explanation. I bought myseld the same device but something is not working properly.I opened it up and noticed that p3 is missing, is this normal?
Hope you can help me here. 💪

[Lev]

Any possibility of using INPA or similar tool (or the datum files) to find the memory address for what you need?

07:45 - that's hex, so 61h is 97, and for temp you do -40, so if that's the temp., than it is 57
