BMW E92 CAN Live Data: decoding ECU telemetry
BMW E92 CAN Live Data investigates CAN and OBD-II messages from a 2007 BMW E92 335d with an EDC16CP35 ECU. Using an ESP32 and TJA1050 CAN transceiver, the project sniffs CAN traffic and sends Mode 01 and Mode 22 PID requests; the author reports readings for coolant temperature, RPM, airflow and boost pressure.
