• Transmission GS7D36SG F-series (2nd generation)
• Any supported shifter
• CANTCU controller
• Various connectors

The CANTCU Controller needs to be installed in a dry place e.g. inside the car, or inside the “ECU Box”, if present. For configuration purposes, a USB-B port is present on the top side of the controller. This should be taken into consideration when planning the installation location. Wiring must be done according to the wiring diagrams available for download.

Power input to CANTCU can be connected together with the DCT transmission power input. Recommended fuse size for combined connection is 15A. Grounding can be done anywhere on the car. WUP (WakeUp) of the DCT and shifter needs a +12V source only when ignition is on. This should be controlled by the CANTCU WUP output. It needs to be wired between all units (transmission & shifter) to ensure proper function. Wire sizes can be found in the wiring diagram.

The saving of adaptation values to the F-DCT transmission permanent memory happens after the car has been shut down (WUP signal goes down) and while main power to the transmission still is on. This time period needs to be at minimum around 45-60 seconds. The required power supply logic/behavior usually is present on OEM cars. On standalone ECUs and custom builds a separate Time Delay Relay can be used to hold main power on for a certain time period after engine/ignition shutoff.

CAN1 and CAN2 on the CANTCU Controller are reserved for communication with the DCT transmission and a DCT gear selector (optional). CAN3 is used for car/ECU communication, depending on which integration is used. CAN-bus wiring should be done with twisted-pair cables to minimize interference in the signals. CAN1 and CAN2 have built-in terminating resistors (120ohm), while CAN3 does not. Depending on installation you may be required to add an terminating resistor on CAN3.

It is mandatory to include a separate OBD-connector in the wiring (you cannot use car OBD connector). This allows diagnosing the DCT transmission using a suitable BMW DCAN diagnostic cable and BMW Standard Tools. The connector is wired on CAN1.

To be able to change DriveLogic modes (shift hardness), a button is needed. If using a F-DCT shifter, the button needs to be connected to the shifter (check supported shifters). If using any other shifter, the DriveLogic button can be freely connected/defined on any DIN/CAN input.
