Canbus controller

[sjeberg]

Do you know where to find the canbus controller on a VW California 6.1 from 2021 with LED packet. I would like to mount extra offroad lights connected to the car's High beam.

Best regards Steen

I believe most people use the High Beam signal to control a relay that switches a fused supply to the additional lights as the Canbus Body Control Module, fitted I believe behind the lower dash in the Drivers footwell on a RHD, is not setup to provide the additional power for extra lights.

The "Gateway" controller is part of the Body Control Unit (BCU) all other modules are connected via a 2 wire "bus" if you have purchased lights with their own CAN module, you would need to tap into the CAN bus wires.
If just a simple relay setup as @WelshGas say, you just need a trigger feed.

If it is just a simple relay, which I presume would be fitted in the engine bay then tap into the relevant main beam wiring on the headlight on the same side as the relay.
