CANTran

CANTran

The CANTran from RACELOGIC is a small interface device used to generate a wheel speed pulse and engine rpm pulse using the CAN Bus of a vehicle. This is useful for interfacing various electronic devices to modern cars which no longer have a conventional signal available.

Each CANTran unit contains a database of many different vehicles and will automatically recognise the vehicle type it is fitted to, so there is nothing for the user to configure. The CANTran is mainly used for providing a speed pulse to aftermarket GPS Navigation systems and driving Taxi meters. Other uses include data logging for test and development, telematics, and vehicle tracking.

Recognised manufacturer examples are: Mercedes, BMW, VAG, Porsche, Ferrari, SAAB, Vauxhall, Jaguar, Fiat, Alfa, Renault, Citroen, and Peugeot.
