Hello,

I wanted to learn something by creating an arduino device with the MCP2515 CAN module so i can sniff the CAN network traffic and have a look at the network, analyse the frames and have some fun with it.

Unfortunately it seems like my TT from 2000 has K Line, no CAN, and the issue for me is to understand the differences between them.

I know K Line is primitive compared to CAN network, but how does the devices in car with K line communicates with each other?

I am aware i am asking stupid questions, but i just started to digging this topic so i would much appreciate any your output as it will be very helpful for me.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your help friend.

I have found some misleading informations on other forum that said only TT starting from 2002 has CAN, but now i know that every TT has can and they only provided the entertainment CAN (for navigation/radio) for the units starting from 2002.

I have also found similar topics by looking for "ptcan", so now i got starting point.

Thank you again!!

Older TT's just dont have powertrain canbus directly to the cluster.
Just grab it near ecu/abs, and sniff it.
