PDC retrofit 2006 A3

Thank you for the info. I’ve been looking at the schematics and I’ve decided to just take it directly from the OBD Port pin 8-16, and I’ll be using a twisted pair Ethernet for the CAN itself, and in POE style use the spare twisted pairs to carry kl15/kl31.

Are the can messages between Convenience CAN and PT CAN in the same place so that I don’t need to buy a specific PDC module for a FL car, this is the once I’ve got.

No providing it’s wired so CAN Hi is in pin 6 and CAN Lo is in 15 (at the pdc ecu) and you’ve connected the only end to the proper places for drivetrain you should be fine. However personally I wouldn’t use Ethernet cable for power and signal but if it works it works.

Cheers!

Btw Cat 6 has cross section isolation, and also to increase current capacity I’m doubling the pairs to operate as power/ground.

Completed this at the weekend, all running fine!

Tapped into the PT CAN from the headlight module to the left of the steering column
