CAN BUS UTILITY VW ACTIVE MSY

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

With the CAN BUS UTILITY VW ACTIVE MSY module the obstacles detected by the ActivePark control units can be
viewed on the Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda radio displays. Viewing follows the same procedures as the car manufacturers original system. As for the original system, if only the parking system is being installed on the rear bumper
only the back of the car will be displayed but the whole car is displayed if a complete system is installed (front+rear).
Besides viewing the obstacles detected by the ActivePark control unit on the radio display, the module allows management of the ActivePark Plus control unit installed on the front bumper and, exploiting the CAN BUS code, controls
it to turn off automatically when the chosen speed is exceeded and it does not signal an obstacle needlessly if the car
handbrake is on.
To couple the CAN BUS UTILITY VW ACTIVE MSY module to the car, simply power the product and connect to the cars Can Bus line: there are two possibilities for this connection which we advise depending on
the radio installed in the car; moreover, on the Radio/Car Compatibility List at the bottom of the page,
you will find some indications as to the type of connection we suggest and if it is necessary to activate the
radio OPT10 function with the VAS diagnostics tool.
Both types of connection are illustrated on the next pages.
Once the module is connected to the car and all the connections have been made to the ActivePark control unit(s) the system can be activated, synchronising it with the vehicles canbus network (see the SYSTEM ACTIVATION chapter on page 16).
In case of front installation its mandatory to have the PDC Programmer or PRG007 Programmer with
their harness to connect to Activepark unit. Accessory kit code ABS14100.
NOTE: This module cannot work properly if installed as integration of OEM original rear parking system, for this type of application is available a specific kit, code ABP05220.

HOW TO ACTIVATE THE UTILITY MODULE

AND COUPLING TO THE CAR
Once the CAN BUS UTILITY VW ACTIVE MSY module has been connected to the car and to the ActivePark
control units, just follow a simple procedure to allow the module to recognise the Can Bus line it is connected
to and allow viewing of the sensors on the radio display.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the cars instrument panel off (+15 Panel) and disengage the hand brake.
2. Disconnect the B wiring of the Utility VW MSY Module for about 1min and then reconnect it to the
module and activate the cars instrument panel (+15 Panel).
3. Engage the reverse gear and wait for the view on the radio which will only take a few seconds (see
note).
NOTE: If the radio is connected using the TYPE 2 CONNECTION viewing will appear ONLY AFTER having
activated the radios OPT10 function with the dealers VAS diagnostics instrument.
Activate the system and verification of operation with the handbrake off.
If the parking brake is activated blocks the view of the parking system on the
display.

TIMED CAN BUS DOOR SIGNAL OUTPUT (Green wire)

The CAN BUS DOOR SIGNAL provides an analogical signal that can be used to activate MetaSystem products
or accessories that need to receive a negative command when one of the car doors is opened (e.g. Pager or
M43). The 2 second negative impulse goes through the green wire each time a door is opened.
Note: The signal is only available with 100K CAN BUS connection.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Power:.....................................................................................................................................12Vcc (10V 15V)
Power absorption during viewing:..........................................< 70mA (only with the panel ON)
Power absorption with the car off :...............................................< 0,36mA (with the panel OFF)
Working temperature:...................................................................................................................-40C +85C
Compatible CAN BUS:...............................................High speed (500KHz) and Low speed (100KHz)
Car protocol upgradability:............................complete via WEB with OPT accessory (ABP04900)
Timed CAN BUS door signal output:..............................Impulse with negative polarity T=2sec
