Kaisen Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hello, I'm trying to get my MXG to work for the first time and I'm not too sure why it isn't working. I've read that only the green and white wires are used for the CAN connector, so I went ahead and removed the rest from the connector. Then I tried to my best capabilities to solder on 2 wires to CANH and CANL of the CAN F plug which are 3 and 4. Please ignore the colour of the wires on the CAN F plug. Then the CAN L wire to CAN - on the MXG and CAN H wire to CAN+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaisen Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Just read that I have to update the ECU firmware. Will try it out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yeah, firmware needs to be at least 5.6.6 for the MXS stream. Your wiring looks right assuming the yellow is CAN L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaisen Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Ah, I had to setup the CAN channel from the Link ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaisen Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Managed to get some numbers on the display but what the heck is happening lol. Is there something else that I have to configure? This was the CAN setup on the Link ECUhttps://ibb.co/XS0cdRf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Is it a Link branded dash? it doesnt look like the dash is set up right judging by the names of those channels, the ecu end looks correct. The ECU type in the dash should be set to CAN_BUS_BASE_LCC or something similar to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot! So basically it can only display whatever values the ECU can read and allows it to display right? Anything else would require additional sensors?

Adamw Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Both ends of the CAN are completely user configurable, for instance if some channel that you want displayed is not already transmitted, but yes of course you will actually need a sensor connected to the ecu or dash if you want to display a value from it...
