The digifobpro CAN Kit contains two cables and an unlock card. The first cable converts the digifobpro plug to a 4-pin socket. The second is the CAN Slide which allows you to listen to any pair of CAN bus wires. A software licence unlock card for the digifobpro is included in the kit.

The CAN bus add-on is activated with the CAN Monitor software unlock card provided. Simply insert the unlock card in the digifobpro card reader and follow the directions onscreen. Connect the digifobpro to the cables provided in the digifobpro – CAN kit. You will need to identify the two CAN bus wires that you wish to monitor and install the CAN-Slide as shown below. CAN Hi and CAN Lo positions are clearly marked inside the CAN Slide.

The CAN Slide places the wires over the sensors as you slide the case cover back on. If you are temporarily monitoring you don’t need to replace the Philips screw.

On the digifobpro, select ‘Extras’ on your digifobpro and then CAN Monitor.

Log: this mode will listen to CAN messages on the wire pair. You must set the correct Baud Rate, Mask and Filter.

Play: allows you to select an existing log file and play it on the digifobpro screen.

View: allows you to view the live CAN bus messages as they stream through the wire pairs.

The log files generated are saved to your digifobpro and passed to digiconnect the next time you connect to a PC. The files are stored in the folder called ‘Other’ and are simple text files which can be opened with programmes such as Microsoft Word or Notepad.
