CANNY Interface

CANNY is a CAN interface developed by Lazer Lamps that enables installation of auxiliary lights on selected vehicles using CAN communication systems, where it is otherwise not possible to pick up 12V lighting signals at the back of vehicle headlamps. Comprising a CANNY dongle, wiring loom, and supported by a dedicated app (CANNY.LZR), the system benefits from being able to mount within your vehicle's engine bay for faster and easier installation, or inside the vehicle if preferred.

The CANNY dongle features an automotive-standard Molex connector, ensuring a completely watertight solution to IP68 (IP64 on the Contactless Reader version). Integrated design features and included cable ties facilitate secure mounting. Locating the device within the engine bay is preferable for ease of installation, but is dependent on the CAN Hi / CAN Lo wire pick-up location on each vehicle.

Connection to the vehicle CAN wires is made via the supplied wiring loom. The blue (CAN Hi) and yellow (CAN Lo) wires are supplied with automotive-grade heat-seal crimps for completing watertight connections. Alternatively, for customers not wanting to cut the CAN Hi/CAN Lo wires, a Contactless Reader version is available that allows vehicle data to be read without any metal-to-metal connection between the interface and vehicle CAN wiring.

The supplied wiring loom also includes a fused battery positive connection and ground wire. Additionally, 4 output wires are included, each programmable to respond to different inputs – high beam, position light, ignition, reverse, etc. – and compatible with any Lazer vehicle wiring kits where the required output is greater than 1 amp.

Activation, synchronisation, and ongoing updates of your CANNY dongle are achieved through the CANNY.LZR app via Bluetooth over-the-air updates. Having gained full access via the unique serial number and PIN on your device, users can access installation guides for their vehicle before pairing with the device and assigning and testing the different lighting functions. Updates (for example, following a vehicle manufacturer making changes to the CAN 'recipes') can also be completed via Bluetooth.

Over-the-air Bluetooth synchronisation and updates further the system's ease of use and speed of installation, with technical support available from Lazer's UK sales team.
