Thanks Adam! So much detail enabling me to get my project up and running.

[@5er312]

Great video by the way thanks for uploading. Btw, anyone who's manged to get IDE to print "CAN Receiver", but has not got any CAN data...... I had this problem, did a day or so of debugging, turned out to be a defective MCP2515. Worked perfectly after swapping for another. Try swapping them if it doesn't work!

[@ichBINSabdiAKA]

Dude, you are a total Legend! really looking forward to your next Video can't wait to get this running in my '03 Vectra GTS

[@michaeld5328]

I'm an industrial control engineer just breaking into CAN bus communication to sensors brought to the industry in the past 10 yrs. We work mostly with PLC's on either hardwire, RS-485 or EthernetIP....now there are sensors on CAN...the older PLC's need change outs and we need CAN adapters and understanding to re-engineer these PLC systems which become outdated. Thanks for the intro tutorial of the basics.

[@thelondonbroiler]

This is a really great tutorial, I know it took a lot of time and effort, thank you! Hopefully with the knowledge you're providing, I can figure out how to activate the battery heater in my electric car, so when I take road trips in cold weather, faster charging speeds can be achieved. Tesla does this, but my GM EV does not. Thanks again!

[@adam_]

My first tip would be to get a somewhat official diagnostic tool that they're using in the repair shops. With that tool, you should be able to trigger the battery heater ON and OFF. All there's left is to catch those messages with your own sniffer, so you can manually send those commands later.

[@thghho]

​@@adam_​ I am getting required message, now how to decode that message? and in which format to send it back?

[@nikolapremcevski9051]

I've been waiting for this for almost half a year since you first uploaded the video with your vectra! Awesome and very informative video. Would you be kind enough however to provide the links to the exact hardware that you ordered/purchased ? I have the same car (also 2005) and I attempted a similar thing last year with an arduino uno and a CANBus shield - but that one is made for exactly one canbus speed and not much data can be accessed with it therefore. Looking forward to part 2 :)

Thanks so much for this video. I would love to see the next part as that is really pertinent to using CAN to do data logging for my car when doing track days and making sure the vitals are all within operational parameters. Subbing for sure. Also thanks for showing basic Arduino setup. It’s very easy to skip over things that you’ve done before that seem simple, but that really does help me since this is a system I’ve never really looked at before.

​@@thghho Have YOU successfully finished the project? I'm currently trying to do the project too but I've seemed to come across an issue. Some help would be appreciated. I have setup the hardware the way he showed in the diagram, and then completed the steps for the code, however, I am unable to receive any packets from my car. I have triple checked all the wires, they are connected securely and correctly. I have the exact same MCP2515 board he is using and the UNO R3 as well. Apparently it may be because I do not have a 120ohm resistor, but the video didn't specify that. Wondering if thats the case. Any suggestions to fix this issue?

[@EmreKonca]

Hi Adam, I made connections like your "wiring diagram" on my Opel Crossland X 2020i I measured 12V with multimeter on "Low Speed Can" line. Is that normal? Other question, may i change the can speed when sniffing medium spped or low speed can?

[@adam_]

12V is probably not right. You can change the speed, but you need to change the connections anyway, so I don't understand the question.

[@EmreKonca]

@@adam_ thanks for fast reply. When I sniff the low speed can line, may i change the can speed variable on the arduino code to 33e3? You connected the low speed can line to pin 1 and pin 4 on the obd2 port. Pin 4 is gnd. So how can canbus data will flow?

[@adam_]

When you sniff the low speed can, you HAVE TO change the speed to 33k3. In the vectra (I don't if this is true for all opel cars, but probably) the low speed bus is called GMLan. This is a single wire protocol instead of the usual Can H/Can L. Actually, you should think about it GND being the Can L for this bus.

[@EmreKonca]

@@adam_ if 12v between pin 1 and pin 4(gnd) is not normal, how can i find the right pin? How can i be sure about which line has "ligths, window controls etc" ?

[@ClaudiupromotionSRL]

This is the best tutorial on can bus on youtube. When do you release part 2?

[@Scortexx]

Great tutorial! The only guy where I found that the baud rate has to be higher! I didn't have success in connecting my shield to my car, I will try it again, I hope that it will work using these methods. I only want to read multimedia data because I want to make a interface for my Renault steering wheel command for my radio. Also I want to make hand gestures using gesture sensor just like in BMW 7 series :)

[@Scortexx]

Just to let everybody know and to thank Adam Varga, it works, it lists CAN BUS codes, now it is just a thing to find the ones I need, for the radio control.

[@adam_]

@@Scortexx wow, thanks for letting us know! I'm happy that I could help out :)

[@Scortexx]

@@adam_ You helped! Thanks! But now there is a problem of finding the correct codes for radio. Renault has Multimedia pin, I have to check if I can read codes out of that one. Can you maybe share the code for remote on the mobile? Just to check how you send codes to Arduino

Nice Video. I arrived to this video because I wanted to know if its possible to hack a car, not saying I want to. What I want to learn is how to prevent someone from hacking a car or, how to stop the hack once someone has hacked a car. Do you have a video on how to stop someone from hacking a car (audi)? I was hoping you do. Thank you.

[@adam_]

I came across a company once. They are designing a device that "learns" the characteristics of the communication modules (at the lowest, analog level). If it detects a new waveform, which can mean that a hacker is trying to send unwanted messages, it can warn the user. Can't remember the company's name tho. But the concept can work, specially in the time of machine learning, etc.

[@SFC1162]

@@adam_ was it Autowatch Ghost 2 immobilizer?

[@Ro_Wa]

That was a very well made video! Thank you for your time and effort explaining everything very clearly. Have you tried replacing the 8MHz oscillator with a 16 MHz oscillator and could you imagine possible advantages? The library I tried to use, was configured to 16 MHz and didn't work at all with 8 MHz. After swapping the oscillator for a 16 MHz, the arduino could communicate with the MCP. I however, didn't manage to get any data of the car. I will try out the library you used. I am looking forward for the next video. Have a nice day!

[@adam_]

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I tried with a 16MHz oscillator, but for the sake of the tutorial, I thought that it is easier to just modify a define rather than re-solder the oscillator. Actually, there's no real benefit unless you want to achieve a really weird frequency that the mcp2515 is only capable of making either only from 8MHz or 16MHz.

[@elalaouielectrique7253]

Hello , I’m working on a project where I simulate a vehicle in MATLAB. The simulation data is sent in real-time to an Arduino microcontroller, which is connected to an MCP2515 CAN interface. The goal is to send this data to an OBD-II module via the CAN bus and then read it in a mobile application compatible with OBD-II. Here’s what I have set up so far: The 120-ohm termination resistors are properly installed. The CAN bus is configured at 500 kbps. I am sending CAN frames from the Arduino (e.g., ID 0x7DF with data like 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00). The ground is shared between the Arduino, MCP2515, and the external 12V power supply for the OBD-II module. Despite this, I am not receiving any response from the OBD-II module. I’ve also tested with several mobile apps, but no data seems to be transmitted. I’d like to know: Is my wiring complete, or should additional pins, like the OBD-II chassis ground, be connected? Are there specific steps to test or enable communication with an OBD-II module using an MCP2515 and the J2234 protocol? Has anyone successfully set up a similar configuration and could share advice or a compatible example code? Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!

Thank you for your video, so as I understand, CAN bus is two-way data transmit, which we can interact and make the car to do some certain thing. Am I understanding correctly?

[@EddieMasseyIII]

This is an amazing tutorial! Wow!

[@SageCloud]

It's good to note that this works for 'older' cars. I.e. NOT my 2020 Ford Transit Custom. Since the maximum speed of the HS-CAN is 500kbps and newer cars use CAN Flexible Data-rate (FD), this will not be compatible with the product described in this tutorial. Speeds will go up from 2mbps to 5mpbs, so the library of Sandeep will not work. Also the MCP2515 has a max speed of 1mbps, so you'll have to interchange that with a model in the MCP25xxFD family which can function at higher speeds.

[@adam_]

Thanks for the comment, yes that's true!

[@SageCloud]

They are basically switching the CAN_H and CAN_L coming from the MCP2515 to the right channels in the car. I did not spend too much time on the switches because you can just avoid them by connecting the driver board directly to your can channels, 1 at a time!
