CAN bus: BMW instrument cluster

. Thu Dec 12, 2013 3:38 am

It's too damn dark & cold outside, so I'll distract myself with
some CAN bus fun. 2002 BMW 330 instrument cluster was
$57 shipped from car-part.com.

Wiring diagram:

The cluster has arrived and it took me 'only' two hours to

figure out that it wants +12 on three wires in order to start
sending out CAN messages.
So, "BATTERY" + "IGN (START/RUN)" + "IGN
(ACCY/RUN/START)" powered (and obviously GND) got me a
constant flow of CAN messages. Here they are on the logic
analyzer (that white box in the top-right corner)

With a hint from ChibiOS forum I have received my first CAN

message! ARBID 0x613 is one of the cluster status messages.
Big day for our CAN subsystem

That's a miracle. This cluster has arrived yesterday and

today I am controlling it?!

I hope one day we will control injectors via CAN.

Unfortunately CAN isn't deterministic (FlexRay will be) so

CAN is best used for communication of non-realtime
information.

Turned out e46 has a CAN message for speed, but the
instrument cluster does not use it! Speedometer works via a
PWM on a dedicated wire fed from some other block
somewhere else. Tach an temperature is controlled by CAN.
With 30 wires coming to the cluster it looks like the e46 is
an intermediate technology mixing some CAN with some
analog.

For example Mercedes W220 instrument cluster has only 11

wires connected to it - but no one has bothered to reverse-
engineer the protocol yet.

Anyway, this was interesting experience and e46 cluster

goes to eBay
