New Arrival: [Product/Service] is Here! (Weblog MartinBth)

Hello everyone,

Let me briefly introduce myself:

My name is Martin, I am 46 years old, and I come from Bayreuth, Upper Franconia, Bavaria.

I work as an electrician, and my hobbies include microcontrollers, technology in general, computers, and creating short films for personal use (on various topics). Occasionally, I also design and etch circuit boards.

I'm not a particularly skilled programmer, but I have worked on some small projects. I've dabbled in Python, Bascom, and C.
My hardware includes: Raspberry Pi 2 and 3, Arduino UNO, Mega 2650, and Teensy 2.0.

CAN-BUS: PiCan2 CAN-Bus board for Raspberry Pi, SparkFun CAN-Bus board for Arduino, and 2 x MCP2515/TJA1050 modules for Arduino and Raspberry Pi (available on **** ).
I have modified the MCP2515/TJA1050 with a 16MHz crystal and created a module with separate traces for the MCP2515, providing both 3.3V and 5V power options.
the TJA1050.

"Sniffing" the CAN bus (also creating log files) using a Raspberry Pi (with Can-utils and Wireshark) and an Arduino.
I also modified the Arduino CAN library as suggested by shavenne.

I also own an Opel Astra G (year 2002) station wagon. Several years ago, I replaced the original navigation radio NCDR1500 with a CDC03 (CD changer) and telematics system (Nokia/car phone).
"And of course, I upgraded the CID (color display). I also installed an (RGB) switching board in the CID (from Hardwarekiller) for the reverse camera."

A few years ago, I also bought a CID and an NCDR2011 from **** at a spot price for experimenting, I believe. Unfortunately, these devices are "locked" (or "disabled").
Display Safe and Radio Safe. And without a radio code/PIN.

The easiest thing to do would be to just give up on it and buy a new car stereo with DAB+ etc., and forget about the NCDR issue. I think I read somewhere that there aren't any navigation CDs anymore anyway. But I still want to learn a little more...

Okay, that's all for now.

Have a good evening.
