PEAK-System Forum

Hello,

I recelty bought your devices to read and write can messages via OBD-2. It works perfectly for me, but now i wanted to know if you have any data regarding the ID's of the messages, for example which identifier is for the RPM, lights in the interior, etc.
One of your colleagues recommended me to try out our PCAN-OBD-II Viewer BETA (mentioned currently no support), there for example the RPM, throttle etc. is automatically identiefied.
It would be great if you could provide me some data, at least for the starndard ID's of the indentifiers, the more the better


Regards

Every car manufacture company use it´s own database for it´s own vehicle type (nearly every car type have a different CAN database). So we could not give RPM ID´s or something like that - this is not possible. If you want to get this Information for vehicle XY - ask the manufacturer of the car.

OBD-II is a protocol which is implemented in every car as a Gateway to the "real" CAN Bus Systems in the cars (a must since 2008). The OBD-II protocol running on top of the CAN (High Layer protocol) and it is standardized - please use google or buy the specification from the SAE group. We offer a CAN-OBD-II API, so that users which know how OBD-II work, could easily use the protocol and need not to take care about the transport ptrotocol in the layers between OBD-II and CAN-Layer2. It´s not simple as ID x transport Speed , ID y transport RPM. It´s a real protocol with remote request etc.

We offer a simple OBD-II sample source code for our OBD-II DLL - please see sample directory of API.
There is also a documentation for the OBD-II PEAK API available - could be found on th eproduct DVD

You can get all parameters in reverse engineering way. Car manufacturer will not say this information for you, if you are not their partner.

If for still need CAN database for various cars - just write your e-male and i will contact with you.

please keep in mind that reverse engineering could work, but must not. New CAR Databases are also more complex as the older simple one. In the near future it will also not be possible to get most information by reverse engineering. The car companies start to encrypt their communication and work with different type of security mechanism, to stop hacking their cars. The most common way is to use the standard SW interface like OBD-II.
