Will it stop the device draining the battery?

It gives a clean ignition reference taken from the bus, which is the right input for that purpose. Wiring and the device still matter, so we review the job with you.

Does it fit cars and vans?

It is configured per vehicle, so tell us which one.

CANM8 alternative

CANNECT DUO alternative: CAN KONTROL SPEED IGN

Telematics and in-cab equipment often needs to know two things before it behaves: that the ignition is on, and how fast the vehicle is moving. DUO users know the pairing.

The ignition problem

On a CAN vehicle the ignition-on state is a message, not a switched feed you can tap. Taking it from somewhere else on the loom is how installers end up with kit that stays awake and drains the battery overnight.

Our equivalent

CAN KONTROL SPEED IGN is the line that stands in for the DUO. It gives a speed output and an ignition-on reference from one connection to the bus. The speed output is matched to your device, which we confirm on enquiry.
