Does the C5 have CAN bud support? I’m doing an LS1 swap using a C5 LS1 and Corvette ECU. It’s going into a 2008 BMW 3-Series, which has all the gauges and controls driven by CAN bus signals.
Is the C5 CAN-compatible, and if so, how any tips on where I might learn about its codes (tach, ac control, etc)?

The C5 uses a bus protocol called J1850 VPW.
Pete Sonntag has been working on modules to bridge between the P01 and P59 PCMs that were used from 1999-2004 C5 and some other vehicles, and I think he's got something for CAN.
