CANTCU Transmission Controller

CANTCU is a CAN-based gateway controller that enables support and communication between transmissions and basically any modern car ECU/electronics via CAN bus.

CANTCU believes that the huge amount of work that experienced OEM design engineer teams put into developing drivetrain solutions simply cannot be surpassed by aftermarket control units. That's why CANTCU takes advantage of the OEM TCU (Transmission Control Unit) to achieve a precise and smooth control of the transmission. Using the OEM TCU also retains all the OEM safety functions, this improves the transmission lifespan in high performance applications and greatly reduces the risk of failures due to user error or development bugs. There are less special features comapres toa stadnalone TCU, however, it is more insulated and streamlined.

Supported Transmissions

CANTCU supports BMW DCT, BMW 6HP, BMW 8HP, Dodge 8HP, Jaguar 8HP, and Land Rover 8HP transmissions. Full car/ECU integration is available for many OEM ECUs, and standalone ECUs like LINK, Haltech etc. CANTCU is constantly developing further integrations, so if your current ECU isn't listed, send us a message/email to discuss if we can make it work for you.

Note: In some cases it might be possible to integrate other ECU's not listed above by using the Default Datastream and/or CAN Outputs combined with required CAN/Digital Inputs (RPM/TPS/MAP/Brake Switch). If your ECU isn't listed and you are curious about if it will work or not, send an email to support@canformance.net

Use Cases

Effortless Transmission Control: CANTCU interacts with your vehicle’s gearbox via CAN bus communication, avoiding the need for complex TCU rewiring. From resto-mod applications to motorsport, enjoy the ease of operation while maintaining the OEM TCU safety strategies and OBD diagnostics.
Interface with ECUs and Chassis: Seamlessly bridge the gap between OEM and aftermarket ECUs and chassis control systems. Maintain full vehicle functionality without sacrificing the performance capabilities of your aftermarket ECU and/or TCU. See compatibility list for details.
