Andy, I have more info that is not in this thread. These are the sensors available on the MINI CAN bus: ECU_1 RPM RPM ECU_2 SPEED_BMW Vehicle speed ECU_3 PEDAL_POSITION Throttle position ECU_4 BREAK_SWITCH Brake switch on/off ECU_5 BREAK_PRESSURE Brake pressure ECU_6 CLUTCH_SWITCH Clutch switch on/o...

Andy, Support has rarely been on the forum lately and as per your post in another thread I have escalated it on the forum hoping that someone else had done it and also escalated it to the South Arican distributor who was in the UK a couple of weeks ago and said he would raise it with you while at RT...

Has anyone got their vehicles CAN Bus to interface with their DL1/Dash2?

I've been trawling the Internet these past several days and have basically got nowhere. It appears that BMW use the KWP2000 protocol but I cannot find any further information. In the CAN Adapter Configuration Utility RT make mention that they can assist with the setup and that (in most cases) this w...

It exists!

David,

Did you resolve the problem?

This is where you can get the latest Dash.hex file from.

Just be certain that you know what to do as you may completely lock out the unit and it will then need to be returned to RT.

Just did a quick search of posts from Support, the latest I could find is dated 10 July 2008 and from RTUSA (Al) is dated 3 August 2007. This CAN'T be true!!

OK, that's a good start, you say that you are picking up RPM from the ODBII now we need to find a way to get RPM and the other sensor info from the CAN. I have done more investigation and found that the bus has to be teminated with a 120 Ohm resistor at either end. Since the ECU is retained then thi...

CAN-bus According to my most recent info the CAN bus is a twisted pair of wires yellow/brown - can low, yellow/black can high. Locations - instrument panel left hand black connector or kickwell next to fuse box 26 pin connector. I also found this article on the web, of note is the part about the CAN...

Wow, great news. I can assist with the ECU data that's available. m Connection is just 2 wires and you dont even need a special cable. RT Support, I am in no way advocating AIM, it is far more expensive and the software leaves A LOT to be desired. It's just a pity that this information is not availa...

Peter, If not done already, this will require wiring in external buttons to the Dash2. Open the Help file and then: 1. Click the 'Contents' tab and then select 'Hardware' then 'Dash2' then 'Installation' and then 'Switch Inputs'. This will give the instructions to wire up the external buttons. While...

I am considering converting a MINI Cooper S (R53 model year 2004) into a track car and want to install a DL1 and Dash 2. Has anyone connected these to the standard ECU using the CAN or serial interface connector cables?

I get the exact same problem! Also, can't access it from the help file that comes with the analysis software.

RT - this is a bug!!!!

in the interim, try loading the markers using a .lap file on the DL1.

The fact that you need to have the CF card out to get the Dash2 to display might mean that you did not remove the .lap file from the CF card after loading the markers. The .lap file should only be used to load the track markers, then the card should be removed and formatted (using the Analysis softw...

Perhaps I'm tempting fate, but 2 different DL1's in several different cars have always been wired to turn on before the engine is started - with absolutely no problems.

Can't understand why you need power on the DL1 to make the Dash 2 work!
