Even without newer donors I see this as a way to lighten & simplify, things Colin would definitely have appreciated.
Unless I'm totally misunderstanding exactly how it works, which wouldn't surprise me, it doesn't seem to be all that difficult a
concept.
You are right the concept is quite simple its the implementation that gets complicated! There are so many interacting systems on a saloon that it is
difficult keeping track of them all - particularly safety systems such as brakes, air bags etc.
However for a locost, or a boat, these complications do not arise and provided robust cheap modules can be sourced it would be a winner. However so
far I've found you can get cheap, reliable or easy to program choose any two  .
Cheers!
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a

Doesn't each device on CanBus just use different "frequencies"?
I'd not think we get anywhere near limits of different frequencies on the typical car. As a matter of fact if we did then I don't think
the auto manufacturers would be using it.
I drive therefore I am.
