Can Bus High and Low

Post by TomGron72 »

I'm going to add a couple of LED auxilliary lights to my Polo, so I need to tap into the Can Bus system. I got as far as to figure out that the orange cables are Can High and Low, but not which one's what...
The CanM8 is also purchased, so all I need is to figure out this detail before I short circuit the entire system.

orange/brown is always low. since brown is always the minus/ground/mass wire, it's easy to remember.

Hey, thanks a lot!! That was awesome of you 8)

Now I just need to wait for the rain to end, because removing the entire front is something I like to do while dry...

Thanks again :D
