What is CanBus ?
CanBus (Controller Area Network
Bussbar) is a balanced multiplex 2-wire interface used as a
communications network to control vehicle functions.
The CanBus wires only carry
computer data, not the normal method of conducting electrical
current.
Our products read the vehicle
CanBus data via just two wires, CAN-HIGH and CAN-LOW,
and allows your vehicles computer to control the our
functions. As Canbus is a 2 way system, our products can also
control some vehicle functions.
Fewer Connections
- Because the CanBus communicates via the two wires
with the vehicle, many features can be provided without any
additional connections. This reduces the total number of
connections that are required during installation and improves the
products reliability as well as the installers efficiency because
there are fewer points of failure.
CanBus equipped cars come with factory remote control of the
central locking, so a CanBus security system is the logical choice
as it interfaces perfectly - you just simply continue to use your
car and remotes as before. What's more, if you lose the original
remotes, or didn't come with the car, the MAP70R2 model is supplied
with 2 remotes. Just check the prices of factory remote controls
compared to our whole R2 system !
We computer programme each
MAP70 for your specific vehicle, make, model and year of
manufacure - it simply wont work on any vehicle - just yours
!
The Exclusively Toyota products are
manufactured to work on only Toyota's passenger vehicles. (Their
light commercial vehicles should be adopting the canbus system
during 2010)
