Tapping into wheel speed sensor

bateau · 03-06-2017, 09:48 AM

Hello folks.

I'm wondering if anyone can help out with tapping into wheel speed sensor data. I would like to set up my F30 for regularity rallies. To take advantage of a rally computer I need wheel speed signal, preferably from non-driven wheel. I can see two possibilities here.

1. Mounting a separate sensor somewhere on front wheel.
2. Tapping into existing wheel speed sensor used by DSC.

Would anyone know where I could get pinout of the factory sensor? This would be cleanest install if I could tap off the plug that goes into vehicle harness.

On some of their motorcycles they have a wheel speed sensor signal they send to the nav screen. Do they do the same on the cars?

This is a UK company but I'm sure there will be one in the US.

We use these units a lot CLICK HERE for accurate distance measuring. All you need to do is tap into the CAN bus and you get pulses out you can use on a rally computer.
