I will have a chat to Lukeyson and see if he can determine what (if any) messages propagates between ICC, HIM and Instrument Cluster - I think these are the only modules communicating with the ICC.But, lot's of time needed to determine and confirm.

Also, so far, is their any soldering or circuit board alterting - or is everything straight plugs?Cheers,Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to completely rid our cars of that limitation - the ICC will be replaced by a carputer, and CAN interface.Carputer to control all HVAC buttons etc via touchscreen, GPS, music (via mp3's) etc.....the CAN interface is needed to simulate handshaking on the CAN network, to keep all modules happy.Anyway, the IC I could not id this afternoon seems to be a MB90F549G, which is a propietary 16-bit microcontroller.More data to follow.MB90F549G_datasheet.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll also have digital instrumentation from OBDII. The current options fall short of the hamburger with the lot where this is aiming to be the hamburger with the lot, allowing us individually to choose what kind and how much cheese, bacon and lettuce we want. Two slices of pineapple? I want that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
