Automotive industry uses CAN as the in-vehicle network (IVN) for the engine management, the body electronics like door and roof control, air conditioning, and lightning, as well as for the entertainment control. The American and the Far East passenger car manufacturers have also started implementing CAN-based car automation. CAN networks used in engine management connect several electronic control units (ECUs). Most of the passenger cars are equipped with CAN-based multiplex systems connecting body electronic ECUs. These multiplex networks link door and roof control units as well as lighting control units and seat control units. The different CAN-based IVNs are connected via gateways1. In many system designs, the gateway functionality is implemented in the dashboard. The dashboard itself may equipped with a local CAN network connecting the different displays and instruments.
