Default Anyone besides me looking for a CANGate module for RNS-E? There might be a solution..

See post 7 and email bjarne and let him know you would be interested.

http://audiforum.us/cables-adapters-...2-cangate.html

Here is a LONG thread describing the CANGate module and that large amount of things that it can do:

http://audiforum.us/multimedia/3145-cangate.html

Basically, the main features for me are syncing the cluster clock with the RNS-E clock for those of us that did that upgrade. Another important feature is that it allows non CAN MFSW relay modules that came on the cars to send CAN signals to the radio which in turn means you dont have to shell out the $250 to replace that relay with a CAN capable one.

As far as what it is, this is a guess as I have never seen one, but it is a small device that sits between the cluster and the radio that decodes the signals and sends them to the RNS-E so that it can understand those signals.

wow very interested, Im trying to add a MFSW to one car and update one module that already has a MFSW. Will be contacting him, do you know if he updates the module or makes something else entirely?

2 options. Use the CANGate and tap into your existing MFSw relay or replace the relay with a CAN one. If you have tip buttons on your wheel also, I have a 618 module FS here. Then it is just plug and play
