ColorMFA on Audi A3 8P
Posted: 04 May 2018, 12:51
Hello, Autopilot. First at all, admiration for the work you done and the great result!
And now, the specific question. My car is Audi A3 8P, DSG (automatic), ModelYear 2006. I have a red MFA, but I would like to update the vision and the possibilities of the dashboard, by putting your ColorMFA. I know that the installation will not be easy as the backgammon models you have described as supporting ColorMFA, but I did a short break on the electrical connection and I think it would eventually become (if there is no big problem with CAN protocol). I allowed myself to briefly analyze the possible electrical connection. From the dashboard, I can bring out an additional connector that connects the display to the various modules. I would like to ask you, whether you think, it is possible. And also, whether the ColorMFA will support the CAN protocol TP 2.0] (Audi B7 also uses it). https://jazdw.net/tp20
- Terminal 30 (+12B Constant) => from the first pin of the dashboard;
- Terminal 31 (GND) => from pin 3 of the dashboard;
- Terminal 15 (Ignition) => from Onboard supply control unit, connector/pin G/11, or Steering column electronics control unit connector/pin D/17;
- K-line => from OBD connector pin 7;
- CAN High Drive Train => from a Steering column electronics control unit connector/ pin D/12 or from CAN Gateway pin 16;
- CAN Low Drive Train => from a Steering column electronics control unit connector/ pin D/11 or from CAN Gateway pin 6;
- CAN High Convenience => from a Steering column electronics control unit connector/ pin D/14 or from CAN Gateway pin 15;
- CAN Low Convenience => from a Steering column electronics control unit connector/ pin D/15 or from CAN Gateway pin 5;
- CAN High Infotainment => from CAN Gateway pin 20 or from radio;
- CAN Low Infotainment => from CAN Gateway pin 10 or from radio;
- Input1 => Here you have to tell me what type of signal I am looking for. I can handle to convert the signal from the trip computer control lever. Currently, the control is with a change of resistance, but I can also convert it to logical zeros.
- Input2 => The same question as in the previous paragraph.
In the next, I'm looking signals for Audi B6 (most closly to A3 8P):
- TrInput1 - Headlight Range Control => At 8P, the error is sending over CAN. But it's no problem to not register this error on MFA;
- TrInput2 - Brake Pad Warning => Pin 7 on the Dashboard;
- TrInput3 - ABS => Once again, it is monitoring over CAN and again it is not a problem of not recording the error on the display. There is a LED on the Dashboard;
- TrInput4 - Oil level/Oil Temperature => Pin 8 on the Dashboard;
- TrInput5 - Terminal 61 (Charge warning) => From Onboard supply control unit, connector/pin F/4;
- TrInput6 - Tank flag switch => There is no warning for open fuel cap at 8P;
P.S.
Excuse me for my bad English, but my Russian is even worse (I am from Bulgaria).
