Its ok to use a multimeter mate, just dont use a test lamp as the bulb in em messes with the can voltage, just use the multimeter to find your lives and all will be well. |

Do you mean DID or DI-DC? DID is not canbus and uses a simple multi relay box, simplest method is to use the Mitsi kit which daisy chains straight into the OE loom and only costs about £68. DI-DC is also a no-brainer, use the later Mitsi kit which is plug and play, just over £100. I have done loads of both and would not even consider using non genuine parts. |
