Default Any interest in can bus solutions for gen IV and gen v drivetrains?

We have cruise control, tap shift, serial ac request, as well as fan control fully working. This will work in gen IV and v engines with 6l80, 6l90, and GM new 8 speed auto. Cruise control will work on any cruise stalk or simple push buttons. Tap shift also works with any buttons or paddles. If using ac you can take advantage of the GM computer fully monitoring the ac pressures along with fan control. The compressor is controlled as well through the GM computer. Idle bump along with wot cutoff will work. Currently this is only being used on Jeep jk conversions but is easily adapted for other vehicles. Here is a video of it working.

I will be installing a unit in a 1970 C10 with a l99 and 6l80e very soon

Do you have aftermarket speedometers working too? Or any other speedo that takes a 4000ppm signal? This is the reason I shy away from the newer stuff. Would be cool if my speedo conversion would work.

Good question. This is usually an issue. Ill talk with the engineer and see if we can do this. I have been using a simple magnetic pickup on the driveshaft to send a signal to an electronic speedo on the builds.

impressive feature set especially for someone having a late model swapped vehicle.

I'm interested in tap shifting for my L92 / 6L80 swap. Not sure how much I'd pay for that though. The trans does a really great job of adapting to my throttle inputs as is.

since I have aftermarket gauges, a dakota digital CAN interface to drive analog gauges (pulls speed, rpm from CAN, already) and Vintage Air controller for heat / AC, my functionality need is limited.

Cool product for sure!

Looks like a good product and you know what your talking about. For many guys like me that are using Dakota digital gauge packages it is overkill. What I would personally be interested in something that provides only cruise control, tap shift with gear selector display features for a reasonable price.

Agree on the CC/TUTD. DDs BIM-001-2 provides gear indication as well as, tranny temp, CEL IAT, and other engine parameters.

I would be interested to see if it could be used to get the cruise control to work off the stock Porsche 996 cruise stalk. PM me with info.

This definitely has my interest. Please keep us updated with your progress. I have 2 gen 5 conversions and an lsa conversion scheduled, and this would be a great addition to these projects.

Good stuff. You are showing newer systems which is fine but what about older converstions? My question is can this be used as an analog interface? IE 12 volt AC request and existing autometer gauges as needed. This would include vss speedo, tach, etc. One area that a lot of people should be interested in is the 12 volt ac request if it works.

Nice product! I have a LFX/6L50 swap into a C10 coming up and would be interested in this. I do have the BCM from the original vehicle but your solution is very nice.

Wow this thing is the cats pajamas!!
And to think I was all happy about making a gen 3 harness standalone....lol
Sounds like I need to learn about canbus, sounds like the new hottness.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in awhile,
Looking forward to seeing it in other applications. Great job!

Thanks SBWrench. I knew they were working on one, but wasn't sure if it was finished/ready yet.
