Ryder SmartCAN GM Module with 12S control, multi-compatible >2018, loom, connectors & buzzer

The SmartCAN module is a multi-compatible CANbus interface.

Dedicated and Multi-compatible

Uniquely, each standard SmartCAN module has in its memory the lighting control data for many different models of vehicle (see Application List ).

Becomes a dedicated interface

When it is connected to a vehicle’s active CANbus system, it recognises the signals there and uses the vehicle-specific data in its memory to “adopt” the vehicle. It becomes fully interactive and dedicated to that host vehicle.

Trailer lamps AND caravan auxiliary functions

The SmartCAN module then controls the trailer lighting functions. It can also control a caravan auxiliary (fridge/battery) function when required.

Replaces a multitude of vehicle-specific kits

Two SmartCAN modules (standard and GM) can efficiently replace a multitude of dedicated CANbus kits. The GM version, TF2302GM holds all the lighting control data for GM vehicles and the Standard version has the data for the rest of the list.

Compatible with coding tools for towing

SmartCAN is fully compatible with recoding tools that activate additional towing-related functionality.

Caravan auxiliary function, CAN-controlled, not voltage-sensing

The SmartCAN has built-in circuits to control the secondary outputs to a caravan fridge, battery and interior lights. This function is not voltage sensing but is directly controlled by the Controller Area Network: the caravan fridge and battery-charging function is switched on when the vehicle’s engine revs reach an appropriate level.

Works perfectly with “intelligent charging”

The advantage of this direct control is not only that it is more precise and reliable but also that it will work correctly in vehicles with “intelligent charging” which senses when the vehicle’s electrical system (charging and loading the battery) is in balance and stops charging. Because the battery level drops to just above 12 volts any voltage-sensing combi relay would switch off but the SmartCAN’s 12S function is not affected, and the feed to the caravan fridge and battery is not interrupted.
