GPS via Canbus
Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2023 12:36 am
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.
