Connection options
MagicSpeed MS880 can process either a digital speed signal from the CAN
bus (CAN bus connection) or an analogue speed signal (analogue connec-
tion). A CAN bus connection is not possible in all vehicles with a CAN bus.
NOTE for vehicles with CAN bus
I
You can find out whether a CAN bus connection is possible for
your vehicle from the vehicle-specific product overview on our
homepage, or by calling to enquire (see rear page of the manual
for contact data).
If your vehicle features a CAN bus, but a CAN bus connection
is not possible according to the vehicle list, MagicSpeed MS880
must be connected using a analogue connector. This will re-
quire the speed signal to be received in analogue form.
If the speed signal is only available on the CAN bus in digital
form, you will require the CAN bus interface MagicSpeed
CBI 150 for the installation of MagicSpeed MS880. This con-
verts the digital speed signal from the CAN bus into an analogue
one.
A CAN bus interface is not required for the CAN bus connection.
