The global A vehicle in which you speak, what model is it ????
(Sorry for my silly question, I am very new to the GM world, coming from local Ford Falcon vehicles)...
I am hoping that a lot of the ArbIDs are going to be shared.
For example, the Door Lock and Unlocking data we have works on both the Commodore/Pontiac G8, and an Impala SS, and I am sure many other models as well....
The chime function on the Commodore models is kinda weird / unique.
The chime examples posted up in the GMLan bible are for the different chimes the instrument cluster can make...
(Also, there is no side indicator relay, so a digitised click sound is played through the cluster speaker when the indicators are on)...
What is kinda weird is the above Park assist, the Radio makes the sounds for the distance away from an object.
(Its a kind of chime beep function, but it is directional)....
Ill try to explain that a bit better...
If you are parking, and you are approaching an object at the front drivers side of the car,
The front drivers side speaker will beep faster and faster you approach an object...
(I.E. you don't need to be really looking at the screen, you can sort of determine where the object is by listening to the direction of where the beep sound is coming from).....
So for example, the park assist beeps / chimes, I dont think they will be using the same ArbID as the existing chimes that have been worked out (such as low fuel, over speed, etc)....
Even with many of the ArbIDs in the GMLan bible, I can tell they will not be supported by any Commodore models.
(Examples include Digital TV, Seat Temperature (The Pontiac heated seats are not on the GMLan from memory)....
It will be interesting to see what works and what doesn't on different models though, and any log information will I am sure speed up the process...
Oh, and finally, I am hoping to release the SW GMLan header calculator in the next couple of days...
(I just need to make sure there are no bugs, and that it works properly under windows)....
Hopefully this helps newbies like myself to start playing around quickly, without having to do mental gymnastics trying to mask, shift, and calculate the header bytes for different ArbIDs...
Cheers
