Hello

I'm looking for ways to both read and send messages to the Concert stereo system, multi function steering wheel, speedo display and heating module through the can-bus.
So I'm looking for resources on this subject, both free and paid.

My plan is to replace the 6" screen in my B8 A4 with either a 7" Android-tablet or 7" inch computer screen (and a NUC), while still maintaining the functionality of the stereo and heating etc.
But I don't know what is possible through the CAN-bus

Any input on this would be highly appreciated.

I am working on this also. I currently replaced the head unit with alpine style unit x701d. Great unit but the speed vim is controlled through canbus. I have yet to find someone who has posted success in accessing the hidden menu through the Audi concert system. I am going to try it this week by getting the component Id and access code to manipulate the read only data. Once I have that I can change anything I want basically. I will keep you posted on progress. Good luck with yours. Paul
