David Wilson Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Simple answer, it doesn't. None of the series 1 S3's have the Can-Bus management systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Wilson Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 As I said CAN was not introduced until the 8P ie current A3 range. I owned 2 S3's in my time including a late 2002 model. Neither had the Can-Bus management system regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm really not sure about that. Craigyb's the man to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klund Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Here is a link to the forum NAVplus http://www.navplus.us/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3713 They all claim I have can-bus. One really do not know what to think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ENVY Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 AFAIK, S3s do not have CAN bus. They have HEX interfaces as with my 02' S3. As mentioned, CAN wasn't introduced until the 8P chassis, irrespective of what equipment your car has, I'm pretty sure of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klund Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 From navplus forum They are correct for CAN Diagnostics (that's only available in the 8P) but they are wrong for CAN Infotainment and CAN Comfort (both are available in late 8L models). Yes my car has DIS/FIS and a digital clock navi plus,tmc,bose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ENVY Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Everyday is a school day! I didn't know that, was waiting for Paul-S3 to come along with the answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 CAN is a pretty wide name, all works the same way but it can do different things (as explained above!) I just didn't want to stick my neck out and say yes it definately has, because I've never had an A3 Glad you've got it sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think that there is just some confusion here, the car is equipped with can for communications, convenience CAN, infotainment, drivetrain CAN, but the VAG diganostic is K-line. The two items are not related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
