Hello fellows,
I first of all sorry for writing in English. I think I. will rather write in English than in dutch by using google translate..
I'm looking for help, and I do believe here is some crazy Volvo enthusiast like me.
So enough lyrics, let's get into the problem.
Few years ago my car (2008 XC70 D5) was retrofitted with a TFT instrument cluster from MY14 Volvo. (same as Vdash uses on their software now, only we did it via Volvo SDA Tool at much less money VDash asks). * 80Euros can be done remotely if you do your self wiring and have access to Dice (China will work).
There is well know limitations after retrofitting TFT (torque gauge doesn't show correct info from the rear differential, eco gauge doesn't work at all because edc16c31 has no info to send to CEM/TFT and most painful letdown is, DSTC can't be temporarily disabled anymore. As on car originally equipped with TFT clusters (Sensus), DSTC control is done via IHU menu.
So my idea is, if someone could hook up CAN bus analyzer and sniff packets while disengaging DSTC and look what packets are sent from CEM to ECU/BCM (If I understand communication loom correctly) then these packets could be emulated with arduino and CANBUS transceiver. What do you think about this idea? Any inputs are welcome. Thank
