Maybe this will help you determine the basic fuel consumption:
Hi CAN diagnostics
Thank you for the tip!
However, the author discusses the motor control CAN bus in the description, and I'd rather not deal with that. Furthermore, it seems that Audi and VW are using different speed and RPM data in their respective ID models. Is it possible that the same information is stored on different 'sub'-buses within different IDs?
On the Comfort-CAN of a 2012 Golf 6 TDI 1.6, the speed is located at address 0x527 and the engine RPM at address 0x35B. The conversion of the read values also differs from the description that applies to an A6 2008 model.
My question was more about the following: In commercial vehicles, the entire fuel consumption of the engine since it was put into operation can be read out via 'FMS'. Therefore, I would like to know if this information is also available on the passenger car comfort CAN bus.
Best regards,

Hello everyone,
I am looking for the IDs related to the turn signal control system of a W212.
Either a complete ID that controls all the light sources, or individual IDs for each light: left low beam, right low beam, left high beam, right high beam, left mirror, and right mirror. Can anyone provide me with information about this?
Best regards, Kalle987.

The turn signal control system in the W212 is not controlled via the CAN bus; it's hardwired.

Hello Postman,
I believe the turn signal control is already implemented using CAN (Controller Area Network).
The rear lights are controlled by the SAM module, the mirrors via the door control units, and the new full-LED headlights are directly controlled by integrated controllers. In this case, only the operating voltage and the CAN bus connect to the front headlights.
The command to initiate the blinking sequence is generated by the SAM and transmitted to the participating subsystems.
Best regards, Kalle987.

Comfort CAN, Message ID 601, 1 byte.
Values:
00 - switch to the middle position.
1x - turn on the one on the left.
2x - turn on the one on the right.
x1 - joystick up
x2 - joystick down
x4 - joystick to the left.
x8 - joystick to the right.

Audi A3, 8P model, manufactured in May 2011.
Which IDs are needed to inform the CAN bus that the aftermarket radio is present and powered on?
You're welcome.

Hi!
Unfortunately, this is not limited to a specific ID.
Generally speaking, that would be 0x664 (which is also mentioned further up on this page).
BUT
In order for all other components in your car to recognize the radio as a radio, it must connect to the CAN bus network.
To understand it, you should temporarily reinstall the old Audi radio, start your logger, and take a look at the area from address 0x400 to 0x43F.
In this area, all the control units communicate with each other.
Your radio is address 0x439, a navigation system would be 0x436, the phone is 0x43A, the BNSTG or BCM is 0x408, and so on.
If your device is not registered within this network, the other participants will not accept it.
The structure of the ring is easy to understand when you see the data on the monitor, but very difficult to explain.
The principle:
You unlock your car.
All in-cabin control units are powering on.
All control units send a (actually two) 'I am here' message on the CAN bus.
These messages will be read by all other participants.
Now, each participant knows what other components are installed.
Now, the control unit with the lowest ID (usually the Body Control Module with 0x408) initiates communication by calling the participant with the next highest ID.
and so on...
It looks like this: (All messages are 6 to 8 bytes long, but I will only write the first byte here).
0x408: 0x36 ... (BCM calls Navigation)
0x436: 0x3A ... (Navigation system calls the phone)
0x43A: 0x08 ... (The phone has the highest ID in the system and is now requesting the lowest ID again.)
and so on, and so forth.
Warning!!!
At VW (and potentially also at Audi), a value of 0x20 is subtracted from the value in the first byte if that value is greater than 0x30.
So, 0x3A then becomes 0x1A.
Please pay attention to this and therefore please test and record the results using the actual radio.
By the way, this ring is also the reason why almost no one manages to contribute anything to the MFA (presumably referring to a specific organization or platform).
You need to have the control unit you want to use to write data to the MFA registered within the network. Otherwise, the MFA will not allow it.
This applies to the MFAs that are addressed in versions TP 2.0 and TP 1.6.
Greetings to you all.

Thank you for the detailed and helpful explanation.
I have successfully managed to connect to the ring and write data to the FIS using an AT90CAN microcontroller. In this process, I am using the ID of the radio, meaning the radio itself is not physically connected.
When using the A3 with the radio and phone system (FSE) connected normally, both the radio and the FSE display information on the FIS (multi-function instrument cluster), with the FSE taking priority.
Is it possible to use an unused ID for my circuit in addition to the radio and head unit (FSE), and write data to the FIS using that ID, or are only those two devices fundamentally allowed to do so?

Hi Gerd.
That's actually very simple with Audi...
Take the telematics ID... Of course, only if telematics is NOT installed.
I'm coming from the Volkswagen side of things, and there, these components are allowed to write data to the MFA (FIS).
- Radio
- Navigation
- Phone
- Telematics
- DSP amplifier
I can't say whether that's the case with Audi... but the telematics system is definitely allowed to do that.
The telematics ID (for Volkswagen) is 0x43D.
The telematics system writes data to the entire MFA (Multi-Function Assembly), both the upper and lower sections.
At Audi, if I remember correctly, things were really strange when it came to describing the upper and lower sections.
The upper section was described using only 2 identifiers in plain text, while the lower section was described using Tp1.6 or 2.0.
I don't remember that completely anymore... it was a long time ago.
Best regards and good luck.

It's been a while, but I now have time to work on this project again.
Did the Audi A3 8P ever have telematics features?
"If so, does anyone know the IDs for the control unit for ring registration and the IDs for the top two rows?"

I have set the factor to 0.5 and the offset to -49.5, which works best for me with a start bit of 56 and a length of 8.
Start bit 40, length 7: Fuel level factor 1 minute, maximum value 127.
From 0 to 20 is the mileage.
Best regards, Ulli.

I'd also like to contribute. I've built a CAN simulator for my VW RCD320 radio. Everything works great with the CAN interface, but unfortunately, I'm missing the IDs for the radio itself.
Ignition plus.
Light.
Possibly a steering wheel remote control.
I had already found some codes.
For example, the ignition plus signal should have the ID '0x575 01 00 00 00', and the data is being sent and received on the CAN bus, but the radio still turns off after an hour. The same thing happens with the light signal; unfortunately, the radio remains dark. The ID I found for that signal is 0x635.
Or is the internal CAN bus already assigned to other IDs?
DIY enthusiast.

6 + 7:
6-bit data: 8 represents on/off in one-second intervals.
The six least significant bits always increment.
7 ranges from 00 to 1D (0 to 29).
Example 1: 7E A4 1D 60 C8 E8 A8 03 14:20 17.09.2006
Example 2: 7E A4 1D 60 C8 E8 AA 05 14:21 17.09.2006

3 + 2 + 1 = km
Here's an example from my side:
1 = ED
2 = 2F
3 = 4
42FED is 274,413 kilometers.
