Is it the same as a runlock?

No. Runlock keeps the engine running with the key removed and has its own interlocks.

What can the output drive?

Typically a relay or an input on other equipment. Name the target on the form.

CANM8 alternative

CANNECT PARKBRAKE alternative: CAN KONTROL PARKBRAKE

Plenty of added equipment should only work with the handbrake on. Finding that state on an electronic parking brake is not a case of testing a switch any more.

No switch to tap

Electric handbrakes report their state on the bus. The old trick of wiring into the lever switch has nothing to connect to.

Both CANM8 variants, one line

PARKBRAKE and IGNITION PARKBRAKE both map to CAN KONTROL PARKBRAKE, which provides park brake and ignition-park-brake outputs. What should the output drive, and on which car?
