<\/figure>CAN-Bus (Controller Area Network) is an industrial networking standard originally developed for the automotive industry by Bosch in the 1980s. CAN-Bus allows microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other without a host computer inside the vehicle. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The main advantages of CAN-Bus:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, CAN-Bus is used not only in automobiles, but also in industrial automation, medical equipment and other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CAN-Bus adapter is a device that allows you to connect to the car’s CAN bus and read\/send data. Such an adapter serves as a bridge between the car’s CAN bus and an external device (for example, a car radio). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Main functions of the CAN-Bus adapter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Why is a CAN-Bus adapter necessary: It allows access to information that is not available through the standard OBD-II diagnostic connector and provides the ability to interact more deeply with the vehicle’s electronic systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once again, CAN-bus (Controller Area Network) is a network protocol used in cars to communicate between different electronic control units (ECUs). The car radio, like many other systems in a modern car, is often connected to the CAN-bus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The CAN-Bus interface in the context of installing a car radio performs the following important functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. It acts as a bridge between the radio and the car\u2019s CAN bus:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Maintaining the functionality of the steering wheel buttons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Transferring information from the CAN bus to the radio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Support of standard car functions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In summary, CAN-Bus adapter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without a CAN-Bus adapter, installing a new radio can be difficult or impossible without losing some of the car’s functions. We have a useful article about setting up a CAN-Bus adapter for Teyes car radios<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On cars that have a CAN bus, it is most often used in the radio. The radio “learns” from the CAN bus such information as the state of the ignition key, whether the instrument panel backlight is on, and also from the bus you can take such information as the state of the handbrake (whether the car is on the “handbrake” or not), the speed of the car, for multimedia systems – whether reverse gear is engaged. Since all these signals are contained in the CAN bus, there is no separate wire for each of the signals in the radio connector, but only power and CAN bus wires. For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
