connect Cerbo to vehicles can bus

All,

is there a way to connect the Cerbo to the vehicle's can bus to read the fuel tank level for example.

In my case I have a Fiat Ducato series 8.

Cheers,

luphi

This would not work, the Victron system are not set up to interpret vehicle messages.

Moving this to modifications. I agree with @WKirby but but what you asked isn't what I was thinking. Things like arduino, raspberry pi can read the vehicle can bus, and it may then be possible to get this back to the cerbo.

having played with vehicle can bus and Arduinos one would think there would be a way to use a raspberry pie or a Arduino as some kind of interpreter between the 2 protocols.

tank level, but found another solution by using relays to switch the tank level sensor between car and cerbo
