Hi, my name is Vitaliy, I'm engineer.
This project about CAN BUS hacking and dashboard development.
I was wondering how electronics work in my car Skoda Octavia A5 and that led me to explore the CAN-BUS. VW Golf V and Skoda Octavia based on one platform, so everything should work on VW Golf V.
To see what commands are in the CAN-BUS, I built a sniffer based on Arduino UNO and diagnostic cable VCDS.
VCDS sends a request to the sensors, Arduino UNO with special sketch arduino-canhacker sniffs messages and passes them to the program
CANHacker V2. Thus, I define CAN commands to retrieve sensor values.
After several months of research, I made a list of CAN-BUS commands:
I created the virtual dashboard based on Raspberry Pi, it connects to the CAN bus via OBD2 and shows the sensors value. Source codes can be found on github https://github.com/aivs/blackCockpit.
The device I installed in place of the glove compartment on the dashboard.
Virtual Dashboard installed and running.
Then I decided that it would be great to create a mobile application virtual cockpit that many people can use. A cheap ELM327 Wi-Fi diagnostic adapter is used to communicate with the car. ELM327 requests sensor values via CAN-BUS and returns them to the phone via wi-fi.
VAG Virtual Cockpit 1.0 displays the following parameters:
1. Which door is open
2. Speed
3. RPM
4. Oil temperature
5. Coolant temperature
6. Fuel in the tank in liters
7. Range in kilometers
8. Average consumption
9. Time in the machine
10. Odometer
11. Outside temperature
To work only need ELM327 Wi-Fi adapter. VAG Virtual Cockpit tested with:
- Skoda Octavia A5
- Skoda Yeti Skoda
- Octavia A7 (not all parameters shows)
It should work with VW Golf MKV and many other VAG models (Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat, Audi)
At this moment available VAG Virtual Cockpit for iPhone/iPad. Android version in development.
If you are interested and want to support the project, here is the link to the AppStore.
I will gladly help and answer any questions. Thanks!
