CAN CONNECT CANHBVL1 Hi-Beam CAN-Bus Interface
CAN-Connect is the leading CAN-Bus integration solutions for the automotive industry.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Hi-Beam Interface is a CAN-Bus interface that provides two active low level outputs. When used alongside an automotive relay, you’re able to add additional high-current light sources, and/or any other accessory, that you wish to control via the vehicles high beam controls (see page 4). The data is decoded from the vehicles CAN Bus and used to switch power to the connected accessory.
The Hi-Beam provides 3 output options; a constant output, a variable output, and a ‘follow me home’ mode triggered by successive high beam flashes. The plug-and-play nature of this product provides easy installation, making it an ideal solution for vehicles requiring additional lighting for working at night.

INSTALLATION
- Begin by using a panel removal tool to remove the main display fascia.
- Unclip the CD port and undo the 4x screws that hold the main fascia in place. Once free, pull it away from the dashboard.
- Undo the 4x screws that surround the main display. Pull the display forward and disconnect the main power connection.
- Proceed to plug the vehicles female display power connection to the male connector located on the Hi-Beams harness.
- Attach either the Hi-Beam 1/ Hi-Beam 2 output to the additional accessory (via automotive relay) dependent on the desired function (see ‘Functionality’).
- Connect the the female connector on the Hi-Beam harness to the back of the original vehicle display.
- Turn the ignition on and test the functionality of the Hi-Beam interface with the additional accessory.
- When successfully tested, this will complete the installation process.
CONNECTOR PROFILE
Connection of Hi-Beam interface is to be made on the harness that plugs into the rear of the vehicles main screen display.
FUNCTIONALITY
Hi-Beam 1 Output:
- With ignition on & engine running: this output follows the state of the high beam CAN signal. So if the high beam is on, this output will be on.
Hi-Beam 2 Output:
- With ignition on & engine running, this output toggles each time the high beam is flashed. So after the first flash, this output will turn on and stay on, after the second flash, the output will turn off.
Hi-Beam 1&2 Output:
- With ignition on & engine not running, the output becomes ‘follow me home’ with various durations. The time countdown is initiated once ignition is turned off (see “Programming for ‘Follow Me Home”).
PROGRAMMING FOR ‘FOLLOW ME HOME’
The duration of the ‘follow me home’ function is determined by the number of ‘high beam’ flashes within 30 seconds of turning the engine off but still having the ignition remain on. After 30 seconds, the interface no longer samples the high beam status to adjust the ‘follow me home’ timer.
Flashes must be no more than 1.5 seconds apart; again, any longer and the count is disabled.
- flash = 30 seconds
- flashes = 60 seconds
- flashes = 120 seconds
- flashes(max) = 300 seconds
With the required amount of flashes initiated, turn the ignition off and remove key. The additional accessory will now remain active for the above timeframe.
If the additional accessory fails to function after vehicle is turned off, turn the engine back on and repeat the process ensuring you stay within the required time limits.
