Hello.
Can the central locking system be controlled via CAN? Is it also possible to do this through the OBDII port?
I'm unfortunately only finding very little information about this. Has anyone done this before?
Sure, here's the translation:
'Thank you very much in advance!'

It would be even more helpful if you could provide more data.
Brand, Model, Year of manufacture...

I meant that in general. But I assume it should be possible.
In my case, it's a Volvo V60 D3 from the year 2011.
Wie kann ich herausfinden welche CAN-Message geschickt wird? I have the CAN bus.
intercepted via the OBDII port, while attempting to correlate a message.
I operated the central locking system.
How would you proceed?

It is not guaranteed that the information will be readily available at the OBD2 interface.
I am familiar with the Volkswagen Group (VAG).
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Volvo.
Regards,
Maxx.

A 2011 vehicle will almost certainly have multiple CAN buses, as will be the case with Volvo.
Drivetrain/Comfort/Infotainment or Body/Exterior.
This means there is a gateway, and only specific messages are mirrored between the buses. Whether "normal" (i.e., not diagnostic-related) messages are also visible at the OBD2 connector varies from car manufacturer to car manufacturer.
-> When connected directly to the Comfort/Body CAN bus, the likelihood of receiving the correct message is significantly higher.

The statement made by the diesel car driver is absolutely correct. However, there's another possibility. And for that, a Volvo or multi-brand diagnostic tool is required. This allows you to perform actuator tests for the central locking system and record the communication. Afterwards, it can be reproduced using your own tools via the OBD-2 port.

Just to be clear:

In the case of Volvo, this is not entirely accurate: Volvo directly connects the connectors 4/11 (Comfort-CAN) and 6/14 (Engine-CAN) to the CAN buses. There is no "gateway" that filters or routes data. The CEM (Central Electronic Module) is simply integrated into the CAN buses and can therefore also be accessed.
