Look at this link http://www.r32oc.com/tutorials-guides/30166-canbus-gateway-location-removal.html

This is the best way to solder the can wires (even using this route it's still tight for anything other than a gas iron).

I fitted my control module in the passenger side C panel which allowed easy testing and OEM style fittment.
The pin removal tool off Laser is less than £10 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A_mtFGKUz_4
But practice on a scrapyard motor as its tight and wouldn't be an easy repair if your a bit heavy handed

SI-R32:
Personally I don't see any difference at all in the picture above to either soldering or cutting and crimping all the can wires together,  I've never had and can errors thrown up and I've added quite a few different things to the can system

Rossimac:
Cheers for the opinions - will get access it to it via the window wiper and have orderd a laser terminal tool from ebay.

Rossimac:
Well folks - I think I've fecked it up and I need some help.

I got the system wires routed to the front and got access to the CAN Gateway wires and to pull the pins out and replace with parking sensor's CAN low / CAN high (Pin 6 / 16) .

Unfortunately the CAN high pin got a bit stuck on the way out of the gateway and once out, we saw the terminal was slightly bent and the terminal itself was loose (the cable was just sliding in and out of the terminal).

So we decided to solder the CAN high cable to the parking sensor's cable.
CAN low went into the new parking sensors' loom without a hitch.



Got ground connected and postive power with an inline fuse connected to the fuse box.

Started it up and saw the following:

Cruise control light on dash flickering and then eventually turning off (with no function from CC).
Indicators being eratic/sticking.
Door locking/unlocking repeatedly while driving.
Window controls inoperable for other doors from driver's side.
MFSW slow to respond.
Clicking noise happening every 3 or 5 seconds (sounds simialr to click from indicator relay - and in the same region).

Not sure what to do here - we spent a good couple of hours checking everything over to make sure it was all connected in the correct sequence.

Does anyone have any ideas on what's gone wrong? Slightly worried I may have done some damage somewhere :(

Will post a VCDS log of all of the issues that are now present.

Rossimac:
Also, here is a scan of the car:

[removed scan as it contained my registration - contact me if you'd like the scan]

Quite a few controllers could not be contacted - notably the Doors.

Help - crumby Saturday night worried about this  :stupid:
