ICB-7 Universal CANbus Module for the towing industry
Call 01179 553007 or email JMT for more information about the Universal CANbus module, vehicle compatibility list and ordering details.
All vehicle manufacturers are now incorporating CANbus wiring systems into their current models. CANbus wiring was originally designed by Bosch to link electrical control systems together to form a network of information around the vehicle. CANbus is replacing the conventional wiring as it is less bulky and offers manufacturers a cost saving on running copper wire throughout a vehicle, however this does make it increasingly difficult for the towbar industry to work with these modern vehicle systems.
The solution is to use a Universal CANbus Module interface which takes trailer / caravan lighting circuit signals directly from the vehicle’s CANbus. These signals are then used to activate the coils in a bypass relay to operate the road lights on a trailer or caravan. The module reads the data on the CANbus and does not take any simulated voltages from the management system so cannot affect or harm the vehicle's electronics.
Universal CANbus Module interfaces read the CAN data on a vehicle and provide a variety of outputs - making Universal CANbus Module the ideal choice for the towbar fitter.
Universal CANbus Module has tested successfully for compatibility with bypass relays manufactured by "Towing Electrics Ltd." and "Ryder Towing Equipment Ltd".

Safe to use
Boost your confidence and get back in the driving seat to install your towbars and fit your relays knowing that you are not going to cause any problem to the vehicle management system.
Reads the CAN data and not voltage so no updating problems
The ICB-7 vehicle specific CANbus module takes the trailer lighting circuit signals from the vehicle’s CAN. These signals are used to drive your 7way bypass relay to operate the road lights on a trailer or caravan. The module reads the data on the CAN and does not try to take any voltages from the vehicles lighting harness.
Easily coded to your specific vehicle without going to the main dealer
The CANbus ICB-7 module is quickly and easily coded to any vehicle on the database during the installation without use of any specialist equipment.
ICB7 Universal module can be coded to any vehicle on the database
The module is not locked to any specific vehicle and can be coded to suit any model on the database. The CANbus module is pre-programmed from the factory with the latest database. Later new vehicle additions are updated to the module via the internet through your PC or laptop.
No problem with stock, `one size fits all
All the modules can be programmed to suit the vehicle so no problem with stock as ‘one size fits all’!
The Universal CANbus Module is currently compatible with 150+ vehicles
