I know that the CAN high and low is not available via the OBD port on this model, although it does have a CAN bus running around the car I understand.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi from a rainy UK. I have a Boxster 3.2S 2000 race car which I have a V-Box HD2 fitted. I'm trying to gather some CAN data for throttle position, rev counter, brake pressure etc. I know that the CAN high and low is not available via the OBD port on this model, although it does have a CAN bus running around the car I understand. My question is, would anyone out there have connected a HD box to one of these early 986's, in essence to collect data while on track, as mentioned above? I know I need a splitter lead for data for the HD. Also, would anyone know the twisted pair CAN bus colors that I could possibly tap into and best location? Thanks for any help Garry

POST 2Original post

i don't think the 2000 boxster had CAN. that started the following year and was not fully integrated until 2003 iirc.

POST 3Original post

Yes I have connected many vbox's to all model years of Boxsters, even my own 99 manual car! But the info is not free unless you're buying a vbox from me. But I can sell you a scene file for $200 and support the install if interested.

POST 4Original post

I have a data logger from CAN bus that I built using an ESP32. It's not that hard, and the information is out there.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
