It won’t work with the BMV display. The Lynx Shunt is an intelligent device that communicates with the victron ecosystem via CANBus. The one that came with your BMV is a (nicely packaged) regular shunt. All the electronics and smarts are in the control head. The cable is analogous signals.

Can the bmv712 i.c.m. with it's own shunt work next to a Lynx 1000 shunt? The BMV712 shunt reporting to the BMV712 itself and the Lynx 1000 shunt reporting to the Cerbo? Can there be 2 or more shunts without messing up each others bussines?
