Sample order
Bitrek’s contactless CAN reader is primarily used for new commercial vehicles, such as cars, vans, trucks, and service vehicles that are under warranty.
Operational logic: The CAN reader has a highly sensitive element that reads the electromagnetic field generated by a signal passing through the CAN wires. The device then converts the signal and sends it to the tracker.
Working with our contactless reader offers many benefits:
- Easy installation.
- It has no impact on the warranty because all factory wires remain untouched.
- It is safe and has no impact on the vehicle’s electronics.
- You raise the value of the solution by providing additional parameters.
The final list of parameters can only be defined after real tests on the exact vehicle. The number and type of parameters depends on the vehicle’s firmware, region, and year. However, you can provide us with a list of your vehicles, and we will let you know what default programs we have for them.
