High performance academy has a course on can bus that includes reverse engineering if you want to stop waiting for someone else to do it for you guys It's on my list to take.

Aside from that:

You can do cruise control via can keypad (aftermarket ecu controlled). you could also rewire the steering wheel controls to a can transmitter (similar to whats used in can keypads)

I was thinking about the possibility of taking https://www.demon-tweeks.com/no/summ...system-663360/

and wiring the outputs to the the same can transmitter to talk to ECU.

the Motec c1212 is a really nice looking dash I would probably use to replace the OEM one. because reverse engineering all the CAN for the oem system is honestly too much work.

other things related. a bosch motorsport ABS unit is definitely the way to go, it will output CAN codes you can read in the ECU to do traction control (wheel speed)
also you can disable it via CAN keypad if you want an ABS button.

you can see a lot of that coming together via motec here



definitely way easier to rewire the whole car tho than to integrate with oem can. but i've never reverse engineered a CAN before so I don't actually know how long it will take.



It would be great if they would do it but I don't there is enough demand to justify the cost. If I do end up taking mine out in favour of the c1212 I guess I could probably give it a try but at that point there's not much incentive for me to do it, seeing as I'd have replaced my dash already /shrug



lol

this is also pretty interesting if anyone has any C++ knowledge. Though I'm sure there are can bus interfaces for most languages. I know there is a nodejs one.



Another EDIT:

VVEL control kb article is here for anyone interested

when i got my email back from haltech they said



I'm not sure if they meant they support the whole CAN protocol or just VVEL, so I've shot them an email to clarify.

Save you the trouble on waiting for the email.

Just like you and 98% of the community are content with the stock Ecu. Reason why the VHR and the tuning is so far behind. At the end of the day if you’re just into street driving and mall crawling then yes motorsport grade electronics aren’t for you. For the few us who either want big power with reliability, and traction or who actually want to compete in races or time trails with very little street use, we want change. I’ll spend the money on it.
