The goal of this project is to take control of the A4 Audi Navigation System screen of a 2001 A4 Avant. (aka Hacking the Audi Navigation System)

Two Navigation Systems for Audis:

• http://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/107294.phtml
• The little one is called Navigation System
• The big one is called Navigation System Plus

More Info on Audio Navigation System:

• This PDF seems to refer to something called MCNet and has picture of the TravelPilot?: http://www.datamicro.ru/can/standards/pdf/CANappl.pdf
• Based on Blaupunkt TravelPilot?
• Perhaps it uses the MCNet OSEK protocol
  • it was verified by: http://spinroot.com/spin/Workshops/ws97/ruys.pdf
• MCNet seems to have been part of OSEK (a time triggered RTOS, perhaps used in this system?)
• validation paper above seems to indicate that this system is CAN 2.0a
• Hmm, is this the communication protocol -- from OSEK: http://www.osek-vdx.org/mirror/OSEK%20COM%20V3_0.pdf

The Audi bus is CAN-bus.

There's some application layers on top of CAN (which one for our system...?)

• CANKingdom
• DeviceNet?
• J1939
• CANopen
• NMEA2000
• SDS
