I've been wondering about analysing the CAN bus for the SID on my 2001 car ever since I fitted an aftermarket stereo, leaving the bottom line of my SID mostly redundant. I always liked the idea of making a little PIC board that randomly flashes up messages like "BMWs are shite" whilst I'm driving, or possibly something more interesting like peak acceleration. It's no doubt one of the many things that I'lI never get around to, but that link gets me one step closer. Are they using CAN now for the steering wheel buttons then now? On mine, the switches just put a variety of different resistors into circuit and the SID translates the resistance values into CAN commands for the stereo. Cheers, Colin.
