Is there any way to read BUDS with an ODB2 device?

Is there any way to read BUDS output with an OBD2 device?

I see crossover cables available, but I doubt it could be that simple.

Does BUDS read CAN bus or is it proprietary?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I didn't find the threads when I searched the site.

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of .... Mike :thumbup:

Zombie -- if you have a CANBUS sniffer you can read the messages of the eleven nodes and if you search this forum you will find the decoding for some of them. Regarding OBDII content, BRP/Bosch chose the proprietary series, which is allowed for some classes of vehicles, rather than the standard series. Search is your friend and Wikipedia is informative.

Yea, I saw some of the schematics.. way above my skill levels.

The guy who invents and OBD2 to BUDS at a reasonable price will make a fortune!
