E65 K-Can: Introduction
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 59 other vehicles, including the 2009 BMW M5, 2009 BMW 650i, 2009 BMW 550i, 2008 BMW M5, and 2008 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For the E65, the functions that were incorporated within the main bodyshell electrical system on the E38 have been distributed among a number of separate control units. Those control units and various new control units are connected to the K-CAN.
The K-CAN is a new development and is subdivided into two sections, the K-CAN System and the K-CAN Peripherals.
Examples of new control units and functions on the K-CAN are the Car Access System (CAS), the Centre Console Control Center module (BZM), the Rear Centre Console Control Center module (BZMF) and the Power Module (PM).
