GPS via Canbus

[Timmie]

Hi Folks,

I got my Freematics One+ Model B, its a neat thing. On initial testing though, the GPS in the box is useless. It never gets a signal.

The car has a nice shark-fin antenna for GPS, is there any chance it can pull GPS data via Canbus ?

I guess it's probably different for every car, I can look it up in VCDS to find the address, it might be more reliable to get it from there, or at worst try to T into the cable, the OEM uses Fakra connectors from memory that were a bit of a pain.

Let me know what you think.

If the GPS data is broadcasted on CAN bus, it is possible.
