WHAT ?? I'm really lost now..haven't a clue as to what you just said. But..I am glad you know,'cause we NEED people like you, to help people like us ( "Older Retired Guys" ).

Great writeup, I'm really looking forward to seeing (and hearing) the outcome of your progress.
Hmm, you're right, he doesn't say that... exactly. I just arrived at that conclusion since he's working on a amp emulator that will allow us to keep all stock functions, but he has to hack the CANBUS to do it. Obviously if there is no amplification being sent for those signals from the HU, it must be an underlying digital signal that is constant and always active and therefore wouldn't be detectable unless you were looking for bits and bytes instead of hertz. Why do I suddenly feel like Morpheus from the Matrix? Odd.el_duderino said:OK, read that thread, useful info, but yeah, I don't see the Uconnect and the Nav on the CAN bus. Don't think that's how it's working...
:nutkick:el_duderino said:He's hacking the canbus to get the volume state codes and the fader position codes. Bacially, if you drew a block diagram of a car stereo, the preamp is in the cd player, but if you draw a block diagram of a home audio rack system, the preamp is separate from the CD player.
In the 300C, the preamp is in the amp and controlled digitally by controls which just happen to be on the front of the cd player...
