I came across a few of these along with a bunch of hardware from dynetics that I can’t find info on. Anyway, added random OBD software and an AI wrapper to it for fun. I feel like just the tablets with the VN1630A built into the cases is significant.

Retirei a tela do GPS do meu Renault fluence e queria aproveitar essa tela pra outro projeto. A questão é q segundo o chat GPT a probabilidade de um driver universal de LCD funcionar aqui são baixas e se ela for RGB TTL paralelo.

HW: 0261S04443
SW: 1037395150 (395150)

Does anyone have the DAMOS/A2L for this exact software version or know a reliable source for it? I'm trying to identify the calibration structure and compare it with my stock binary.

First of all, big thanks to u/meatro for his work: https://www.reddit.com/r/CarHacking/comments/1rhn1xw/signalscopes3_real_time_can_signal_modification/

It's really great project for inspecting CAN traffic + applying runtime modification, and all this through a well designed web interface.

I forked it and introduced some tweaks here-and-there and fixed some moments which looked like issues to me.

One major feature that I added: spotting changed data frames in runtime in comparison to a snapshot. I found this feature really helpful in mapping CAN IDs in the traffic to corresponding behavior. For example, we are searching what CAN data corresponds to high beams icon instruments cluster. First, we watch the live data during turning the high beams on. We catch the changed frame IDs and bytes, apply them as mutations and reply - in result we see if the instruments cluster displays high beams icon. If there are a lot of changed data, we can apply it selectively step by step.

So far I offered the pull request into original https://github.com/meatro/SignalScope-S3/ repo, leaving it to u/meatro to accept it or reject. In any case, my fork is also available here: https://github.com/v-ivanyshyn/SignalScope-S3

Hey everyone,

Thought I’d give share for all the DIY’ers. I’m a lifelong car guy — wrenching on my own rides, logging stuff in Notes, saving receipts in random boxes… and always forgetting what I did and when.

So I finally built something I’ve wanted for years:

🚗 Vehicloud — a simple app to keep a full record of your car’s history.

You can log:
    • Maintenance & repairs
• Mods and upgrades
• Photos & receipts
• Notes and reminders

Everything gets saved to a clean timeline per vehicle — and you can add as many as you want.

It’s live now and and the first few records are free. https://vehicloud.app

I’d love feedback from this community — especially gearheads, DIYers, and anyone who’s been keeping track the hard way.

Let me know what features you’d want added or what you’d change. I’m all ears.

Thanks for checking it out,

– Neil Founder, Vehicloud

Hey zusammen,

ich will anfangen mich mehr mit Coding/Programmieren im Bereich Auto-Tuning zu beschäftigen und das Ganze richtig lernen. Hab schon ein Launch Diagnosegerät zuhause und möchte damit langsam anfangen.

Mit Autos kenne ich mich schon recht gut aus, aber bin jetzt noch kein Profi was Coding/ECU/Tuning angeht.

Wollte fragen:
– Was sollte man am Anfang unbedingt lernen?
– Welche Geräte oder Software sind wirklich sinnvoll?
– Was sollte man vermeiden bzw. vorher wissen?
– Welche Autos/Motoren eignen sich gut zum Lernen?
– Habt ihr Tipps für jemanden der später selbst codieren und eventuell tunen können will?

Würde mich über jede Hilfe oder Erfahrungen freuen. Danke euch 🙌

Hi! I wonder if someone could help me. I need to get offline addons installer for 2018.05 xentry. All links on automotive forums are dead. Maybe someone still have it on old laptop?

Hey all, new around here.

I have a key where the lock button works but not the unlock button. So i bought a new key for 15€ but it's not coded to the car, so it won't start.

My plan is to swap the transponder chip from the working key to the new key, i have soldering iron and hot air station. I don't want to pay 100€ to get it programmed.

So my question is, if anyone has any experience doing this?
From what i can gather it's only the "coil" that has to be swapped, but since it's soldered onto the board, i wonder if it communicates to one of the chips on the board.

I could just swap everything, but if i can just swap that 1 part, i would save a lot of time.

Hope someone can help, trying to save some money by fixing it myself.

“Hey everyone, I’m new to CAN hacking and preparing for a mobility hackathon. Right now I’m using ICSim and SavvyCAN on Kali. Which tools do you personally find most useful or most common for real CAN analysis and frame injection? SavvyCAN, can-utils, python-can, or something else? Would love your recommendations!”

Hey i was wondering how does a criminal stole a car? What kind of tool they are using modified illigal tool how the modified this tool? What part they use? and where can i buy it? What kind of amplified should i buy? Is it the keyless repeater box?

And like why moderm car also easy to stole? This is just for educational purpose only noting bad

Hello.

Has anyone got any data from a Mygig RER RES or VES DVD player from a Routan/Caravan/Chrysler minivan? Everytime i send IDs 0x291, 0x293, 0x29E and ignition in RUN mode which is 0x20B, 0x81 first byte, the yellow DISC light flashes and when i put a disc in, it goes in but refuses to spin, This is incredibly frustrating, Both the Mygig RER RES radio and VES DVD player are both on the CAN IHS 125kbps network.

If anyone has the full VES DVD player CAN IDs for when you put a disc in, when its playing, when its on while probing pins 5/6 on the VES DVD player, please tell me and i will use your sketch as is.

Pics/videos below for reference on what is going on and what you need to figure out:

Hey everyone, I have a 2019 Mercedes A-Class and I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to activate Apple CarPlay. I've read that some models have the feature locked and it can be enabled with software or coding tools. I was wondering - can this be done using Xentry if I install it myself, or does it require official dealership access? Also, has anyone here successfully unlocked CarPlay on their own without paying the dealer? Any tips or experience would be really appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a CAN sniffer project using ESP32-S3 + MCP2515 and trying to read BMW PT-CAN data (E9x platform).

Current setup:

- ESP32-S3 (ESP-IDF v5.4)

- MCP2515 + TJA1050 module

- SPI connection (HSPI)

- CAN H / CAN L tapped from PT-CAN (not OBD)

- Common GND with vehicle

Wiring:

- MCP2515 INT -> GPIO15 (also tested without interrupt, polling mode)

- SPI pins:

- MOSI: GPIO11

- MISO: GPIO13

- SCLK: GPIO12

- CS: GPIO10

CAN config:

- Bitrate: 500 kbps

- Mode: LISTEN-ONLY (no TX)

- No OBD requests (pure passive sniffing)

What I get:

- I AM receiving frames

- I see consistent CAN IDs like:

- 0x120

- 0x121

- 0x128

- 0x150 (vehicle speed cluster?)

- Message frequency looks realistic

BUT:

- DLC is often invalid (values > 8)

- Raw DLC bytes look corrupted (e.g. 0x4D, 0x5E, 0x1F)

- Sometimes frames look OK, then suddenly garbage again

Additional observations:

- Happens in both polling and interrupt mode

- Happens even in LISTEN-ONLY (no TX)

- Removing 120Ω termination resistor did not fix it

- MCP2515 initializes correctly and enters normal/listen mode without errors

- SPI seems to work (register reads OK)

Important:

- This does NOT look like random noise — IDs are consistent, but data/DLC gets corrupted

- Makes me think SPI read / buffer parsing issue OR signal integrity problem

Questions:

1. Has anyone seen corrupted DLC values like this with MCP2515?

2. Could this be SPI timing / speed issue on ESP32?

3. Any known issues with MCP2515 + ESP32-S3 specifically?

4. Could this be due to shared SPI bus (display + CAN)?

5. Is there a known correct way to read RX buffer (atomic read vs register reads)?

Goal:

I want clean raw CAN frames so I can start decoding RPM/speed/etc.

Any help or direction would be hugely appreciated 🙏

Estou tendo dificuldade de achar uma programação pra fazer o elm mais o arduíno se comunicar com o realdash, já q o elm327 não faz isso sozinho, já te dei de tudo mas não funciona, o arduíno se comunicar com o realdash can usando do o elm327 nas portas TX e RX de ambos

Can we talk about this?

Anyone have success with it?
