FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Lazer Lamps Canny Interface?

The Canny Interface is designed to simplify the installation of auxiliary lights on modern vehicles by interfacing with the vehicle's CAN bus system, providing signals for functions like high beam, ignition, or reverse without needing to cut into the original wiring loom.

Can I install this in my engine bay?

Yes, the Canny Dongle is IP68 waterproof and features a sealed Molex connector, making it suitable for engine bay mounting where it can be exposed to moisture and dust.

Do I need to cut my vehicle's CAN wires for installation?

No, the Canny Interface offers a contactless CAN reader option that does not require cutting the CAN Hi and CAN Lo wires. Alternatively, if using the wiring loom, it utilizes automotive-grade heat-seal crimps for a secure connection.

How many auxiliary lights can I connect?

The interface has four programmable output wires, each capable of driving outputs above 1 Amp. You can connect multiple lights to a single output as long as the total current draw does not exceed the 1 Amp limit per output.

How do I update the Canny Interface firmware?

Firmware updates are handled wirelessly (over-the-air) via Bluetooth using the dedicated CANNY.LZR app, available for both Android and iOS devices.

What happens if my vehicle manufacturer updates the CAN protocol?

The CANNY.LZR app allows you to receive updates directly to your device, ensuring that the interface remains compatible even when vehicle manufacturers update their CAN protocols.

Is this compatible with all vehicles?

The interface is designed for vehicles that utilize a CAN bus communication system. It is not compatible with older vehicles that do not have CAN bus technology.

Troubleshooting

Canny Dongle not detected by the app

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Verify the dongle is powered by the vehicle's CAN bus. Try restarting the app and the dongle by briefly disconnecting/reconnecting power.

Programmable outputs not activating correctly

Confirm the correct function has been assigned to the output wire within the CANNY.LZR app. Check that the connected auxiliary light's power requirements do not exceed the 1 Amp limit per output.

No connection established via CAN bus

Double-check the CAN Hi and CAN Lo connections. If using the contactless reader, ensure proper alignment with the CAN wires. If splicing, verify the heat-seal crimps are properly applied for a secure connection.

App cannot perform over-the-air updates

Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection and is actively paired with the Canny Dongle. Check for app updates in your device's app store and update the CANNY.LZR app itself.
