Our INCAR database provides for almost all common left-hand drive European cars and light commercial vehicles up to 3500 kg. It is possible that your car is not in the database. For example, because it is so new that we have not been able to investigate it. In that case, contact us well in time. We might be able to help.

The INCAR instructions provide at least a location or an option for the speed signal; collected knowledge about (switched-)power supply and ground and any other signal and component locations are, if known, additionally shown.

BCI	Beijer CAN Interface; see Products\Interfaces\CAN.
CAN	Controller Area Network.
API	Automatic Pulse Interface; see Products\Interfaces\Signal.
DLC	Data Link Connector or (E)OBD.
PGFI	Transducer (Hall-type) for Fiat (installation on gearbox).
PGMAG	Universal (inductive) transducer (installation on drive-shaft).
SSW	SpeedSwitch; see Products\Interfaces\Signal.
Wd	a parameter for the number of pulses, generated each kilometer by the cars speedsignal.

Some instructions use the term "Pull-up". Pull-up is a method to produce, in an economical way, from a weak speedsignal a usefull speedpulse-signal. It can only be used on output-signals, generated in instrument panels or ABS-units. If you want to pull-up a signal, you need a resistor that is welded between a feed wire and the speedsignal. Take a 10 kilo-Ohm resistor (1/4 Watt) and weld a good fused feed wire to one end of the resistor. Weld the other end of the resistor to the speedsignal output of the instrument panel and, of course, to the speedsignal input of the system you're installing.

Procedure
1. Determine the software version (white sticker on the back of BCI). For example: PA.1000.MV.AAJF.204
2. Enter the software version here and click OK. The Application List associated with that software version is displayed.
3. Scroll to the correct car model and determine the best BUS-ID based on the required outputs.
4. Enter the BUS-ID on INCAR home.
5. Connect the BCI according to the CAN connections belonging to that BUS-ID from the INCAR instruction.

A BCI is a CAN-interface that generates signals in vehicles. The software version of the BCI determines which vehicles are recognized by the BCI. Before each BCI installation, it should be verified whether the software version of the BCI is suitable for the vehicle. The software version can be found on the back of the BCI, on a white sticker. It consists of 15 characters and starts with the letter "P":
P *. ****. **. ****. ***
If the software version is known, you can check on the corresponding Application List (see item Application List BCI) whether the BCI is suitable for the car.

An Application List contains all vehicles that a BCI recognizes. Which vehicles these are depends on the software version of the BCI. On the Application List you can see which signals a BCI generates on a particular CAN bus (Highspeed or Lowspeed), and which BUS-ID (see item below) belongs to it. A BCI-2 is only suitable for Highspeed CAN buses, the BCI-6 and BCI-8UDS for both Highspeed and Lowspeed CAN buses.

View all standard and custom Application Lists here.

A BUS-ID is a unique number that refers to one unique CAN location in one specific vehicle model. The Application List of a BCI shows the BUS-ID. Cars often have several CAN buses, but not all signals are on all those CAN buses. The Application List shows which signals a BCI generates on a particular CAN bus, and which BUS-ID belongs to it. With that BUS-ID you will immediately reach the correct car model at INCAR, where you will find the unique CAN location associated with that BUS-ID.

Procedure

• 1. Open the Application List belonging to the BCI (see item Application List BCI)
• 2. Scroll to the correct car model and determine the best BUS-ID based on the required outputs.
• 3. Enter the BUS-ID on INCAR home.
• 4. Connect the BCI according to the CAN connections belonging to that BUS-ID from the INCAR instruction.

Every Beijer CAN Interface (BCI) bears the BCS Ready logo. The abbreviation BCS stands for Beijer CAN Server. That is the place where all available data from almost every left-hand drive European car can be found. Products with a BCS Ready logo are suitable, if a number of conditions are met, to communicate with this server. Note: this option is exclusively reserved for BCS Premium customers. This way of communicating offers advantages, such as reading and analyzing CAN data from unknown car models, in the Netherlands and far beyond. However, there are more advantages. Namely products with the BCS Ready logo offer functionalities to be programmed and updated via the Beijer CAN Server. Products in stock can be provided with the most recent software and vehicle types. Besides, a product can be refurbished, allowing it to be reused in another vehicle.

Hardware
A BCS Ready BCI can be recognized by the BCS Ready logo. Every BCI has three LEDs: the PWR-LED, the CAN-LED and the COM-LED. See the table with the possible status of the LEDs. If the COM-LED is lit, the BCI has become vehicle specific. That means that the BCI is only suitable for the car model in which it was put into use. This status will only be reached over time and has no further influence on the operation of the BCI. Until the BCI becomes vehicle specific the COM-LED will not light up and will be universal and suitable for almost every left-hand drive European car.

PWR	CAN	COM	STATUS
Off	Off	Off	BCI in sleeping mode or no Power Supply
On	Blinking	Off	BCI in recognition mode (max. 20 sec. during installation)
On	Blinking	On	BCI in recognition mode (max. 20 sec. during installation) Vehicle specific
On	On	Off	BCI operational | Multi vehicle (startup fase, new interface)
On	On	On	BCI operational | Vehicle specific

Analogue connection points from cars, necessary for aftermarket systems such as telematics, taximeters and cruise controls, are not always suitable to connect or often no longer present. A Beijer CAN Interface (BCI) offers a solution and provides these systems with good and reliable signals, such as a speed signal. However, if such a system does not function properly immediately after the installation, it must be checked whether all the conditions for a successful installation have been met.
