View source for Mini Cooper R50 R52 R5

=Status=
In development / verification phase. The Mini Cooper ECU and instrument cluster electronics are based on BMW running gear, so this integration is adapted from the BMW E46 instructions.

=Channels available=
This integration will offer the following channels (to be verified)

* Throttle Position (TPS)
* Engine Temperature (EngineTemp)
* Oil Temperature (OilTemp)
* RPM (RPM)
* Steering Angle (Steering)
* Brake Switch (BrakeSw)
* Brake Pressure (Brake)
* Left front wheel speed (LFWheelSpd)
* Right front wheel speed (RFWheelSpd)
* Left Rear Wheel Speed (LRWheelSpd)
* Right Rear Wheel Speed (RRWheelSpd)
* Gearbox Temperature (GearboxTmp)
* Exterior Temperature (ExtTmp)

=Installation=

==Things you'll need==
* PosiTap insulation piercing taps (22 gauge)
* RJ 45 (Ethernet) cable, ~6ft
* RaceCapture/Pro with Bluetooth
* Android tablet
* 2002-2006 Mini Cooper (R50, R52, R53)

==Estimated Time==
2-3 hours, depending on level of wiring experience. The most time consuming part is locating and splicing the CAN, power and groud wires into the RJ45 cable.

==CAN wires==
CAN wire colors are as follows:
* (VERIFY) Yellow/Red = CAN+ (high)
* (VERIFY) Yellow/Brown =  CAN- (low)

They are a twisted pair in or attached to the main wiring harness under the driver's side dash above the dead pedal. The wires need to be tapped, not cut. 

===Tapping CAN wires===
To tap into the wires, you'll first need to unravel the wire as the CAN+/CAN- pair are tightly wound. You'll want to have enough room for 2 fingers in between the wires.

Tapping the wires via Posi-taps (recommended) is easy. Pull the top off the Positap, place the wire in it and tighten.

Once you've tapped both it will most likely look like this:

==Power and ground wiring==

Note: You can skip this section if you already have power wired to RaceCapture/Pro and don't want to change it.

===Best option OBD-II port power===
Using the same cable used for the CAN bus connection you can tap into power on the OBD-II port, for a clean 4 wire connection

'''Note:''' These color codes assume EIA-T568B RJ45 cable (check printing on the cable to confirm)

==CAN Bus connection==

In order for RaceCapture/Pro to read CAN data you need to connect the CAN+/CAN- wires to a RJ45 (ethernet cable). 

Cut one end off the RJ45 cable and pull apart all the wires. 

For a standard RJ45 cable (EIA T568B) the colors are:

* Orange: CAN1 High
* Green/white: CAN1 Low
* Brown: Power
* Orange/white: Ground

* '''Note''': Verify your RJ45 cable has '''EIA T568B''' printed on the jacket; this will ensure the color codes match.

Use the following diagram:

You will end up with something that looks like this:

==Configure RaceCapture/Pro==

===Quick Start configuration===
This configuration can be imported into your RaceCapture/Pro system to get you started. 

Download: [http://autosportlabs.net/images/2/23/mini_cooper_R50_R52_R53_starter_config.rcp Mini Cooper starter configuration] (right-click, save-as)

To complete your configuration for lap timing and live streaming to Podium:

* [[RaceCapturePro2_TelemetryQuickstart#Enable_Telemetry_and_Device_Id|Set your telemetry device id]] as provided by [http://podium.live podium.live]

===Manual Setup===
If you already have an existing, customized configuration, follow these steps to add Mini Cooper CAN bus integration.

'''[[RaceCapturePro2_OBD2#Enable_CAN_bus|Enable the CAN bus]]''' in your RaceCapture/Pro configuration 

* Rate is 500kb/s
* Do '''not''' enable OBD-II channels.

==Test!==
Once everything is connected, plug in the other end of the RJ45 cable to RaceCapture/Pro, turn it on and turn on your car. Make sure RCP is connected to your tablet and the RaceCapture/App is running. 

Swipe to the digital dash page and you should see data for Coolant, Oil Temp, Throttle and brake!

==Real-Time Telemetry==
Just 4 wires - Power, Ground, CAN+ and CAN- is needed to stream tons of data to [http://www.podium.com Podium] for monitoring engine, driver and suspension performance!

==Troubleshooting==
* If you don't see any data, verify all connections and splices. 

* If everything is connected connect your laptop to RaceCapture/Pro, open the RaceCapture/App, go to the Scripting section, set Logging Level to debug and select 'Poll logfile'. Check the output for any errors relating to the Lua Script.

* If you're copying in the script file, ensure any existing script is erased first, do not append the script text to the existing script.
