What do the wires you connected to attach to?


CAN bus wires are twisted pair. For the E46 and similar vehicles (probably E53) it is yellow/brown and yellow/red or something very similar. Might be good to check a wiring diagram. It should clear it up. Careful with yellow wires as yellow is often used in airbag systems. Don't randomly try wires. Also CAN bus is 5V or less. Tapping a 12V wire could have bad consequences.


Make sure CAN H and CAN L are not reversed as well.


So after I was out of town for a week, I’m back to working on this. I tapped the twisted pair that run in accordance with that picture. I’m still not getting any data back. Would I have to physically de-pin the connector then essentially force the signal to go through the pi, by essentially removing the direct line between the two modules and put the PI in the middle? I’m not sure what else to try at this point other than a different CAN bus module.
