Hallo!
Ich versuche GPS Informationen (UTC, Breite, Länge) vom Infotainment-CAN auszulesen.
Unfortunately, only the navigation status information with the value 0x81 is being output.
Or, can the VW Touran RNS MFD# DVD unit not output this data?
What IDs should be received? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Regards, knusperJ.Best regards, knusperJ.

Hello!
I am trying to read GPS information (UTC, latitude, longitude) from the infotainment CAN bus.
Unfortunately, only the navigation status information with the value 0x81 is being output.
Can the navigation system (VW Touran RNS MFD) not output data from the DVD?
What IDs should be included? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Best regards, knusperJ.

MFD2 and RNS2 don't send this data on their own - which doesn't mean it's impossible. In theory, it should be possible, but you would definitely need to trigger that mode somehow. I would also like to have this information, as it could save me from having to install a second GPS receiver in the car.

Sehr schade.
However, the RNS 300 and RNS 500 models should transmit this information.

'should'? icon_smile.gif Does that mean yes or no?

... unfortunately, I haven't been able to verify this yet due to a lack of the necessary hardware (RNS 300/500).

'Oh, that's a shame, so it was just your assumption. Frankly, I don't see why the GPS data should suddenly be transmitted by default. Of course, this information is interesting for us hobbyists, but the traffic on the CAN buses is constantly increasing. Considering the entire car system, the GPS position is rather secondary. However, I am sure that it can and could be accessed. 'Ask me and I will answer you.' You just have to know how. But since there aren't really any devices currently that need GPS data, the likelihood of figuring out 'how' is also quite low.'

'So, a telematic device used to obtain GPS data via the CAN bus, right?'
and then there's Svennis MFA XP, I think it can probably do that too.

The data is not on the CAN; I only found it at the MCD. icon_neutral.gif
