Many aftermarket car accessories such as Gear Shift Lights, Tachometers or Digital Gear Displays require connection to electrical signals which are often not available on modern cars. The CAN-Bus Signal Converter from CARTEK simply plugs into the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) socket found on most modern cars and provides four useful signals by extracting and converting engine data from the car's CAN-Bus network.
Locate the car's OBD2 socket which will be within 60cm (2ft) of the steering wheel. Insert the CAN-Bus Signal Converter then start the engine. If this is the first time the CAN-Bus Signal Converter has been installed then it may take a short while for it to interrogate the car's CAN-Bus network and synchronize to the correct protocol. This will be indicated by a Red LED. Once the correct protocol has been determined then engine data will be extracted from the CAN-Bus network and converted into output signals. This will be indicated by a flashing Green LED.

Cartek is a company that specializes in producing high-quality solid-state battery isolators used in the automotive industry. They have been in the business for more than ten years and have established their brand as one of the leading manufacturers in their market segment. Today, they are widely used by many enthusiasts, including various OEM manufacturers.
What separates their system compared to others is that it is fully sealed and has no moving parts. It enables their system to function under challenging conditions, making them a favorite brand of many racers and motorsport enthusiasts.
Back in the day, electrical isolations were primarily mechanical master switches and electromechanical solenoids. But the issue with these designs is that since there are multiple moving parts, the combination of high electrical current, vibrations and shocks results in contact erosion and eventual unreliability. It is what the solid-state battery isolator of Cartek has eliminated. Since there are no mechanical moving parts, it increases the strength and reliability of the system.
If you are in the market for a high-quality battery isolator for your vehicle, then look no further, as Cartek is the brand for you. It is designed for high-performance applications and tested in multiple racetracks by multiple race drivers and racing teams.
