The PLX wideband digital output is RS232 in their iMFD format. 19200 baud rate, 8 data bits , no parity and 1 stop bit. It is output at 10Hz. They will send you a PDF file with details of the format if you ask them. So basically no it won't work over CAN...
Hope this helps,

The 'Transmit Generic Dash' mode sends out a range of common parameters, it is useful for dashes that are able to have a custom configuration. The parameters that are sent are in the table below.
Setting up the Link ECU: 1.Open the CAN Setup window (PCLink > ECU Controls > CAN Setup)2.Select the CAN module to be used3.Set the Mode to 'User Defined'.4.Configure the Bit Rate to match what the dash requires.5.Select a spare CAN channel.6.Select 'Transmit Generic Dash' from the Mode drop-down menu.7.Set the CAN ID to match what the dash expects.8.Set the Transmit Rate to 20Hz or what the dash expects.9.Make sure no other CAN channels are configured on the same CAN ID as the Generic Dash channel.10.Click Apply and then OK.11.Make sure a Store (F4) is performed. Setting up the Generic Dash: 1.The dash will need to be configured to match the data layout in the tables below. All parameters are sent as 16 bit unsigned numbers, with low byte first. Some parameters must be multiplied or offset (constant value added) to get the correct calibrated value. The limits flags are sent through as a bit field (described below).
