[alex789]

I wonder if it has the same brake light flash function of the Hex? As i understood it, thats why the Hex wasnt and couldn't be ce marked and legally sold in Europe ??

Stu

looks to have the same function for the rear lights as the Hex.

Auxiliary Brake Light Setting (Orange Circuit) Default

Fuse Adjusts electronic fuse setting to desired value. Fuse auto resets with vehicle ignition cycle. 2 amps

Running Light Intensity Adjusts running light brightness setting 10%

Brake Light Intensity Adjusts brake light brightness setting 100%

No Flashing Brake light will turn on at the set brightness while braking. OFF

Brake Applied Flashing (Continuous) Brake light w ill flash at 4Hz at the set brightness for as long as the brake is engaged. ON

Brake Applied Flashing (California Legal) Brake light w ill flash 4 times when the brakes are engaged and then stay on at the set brightness w hile braking. OFF

Auto-Flash (Deceleration Activated Flashing) Reads the vehicle deceleration to flash the auxiliary brake light automatically. Sensitivity can be adjusted in extra settings. OFF

California Legal & Auto Flash Combines the behavior of California legal flashing with the deceleration activated flashing OFF

Simple Circuit Over-Ride Disables all circuit features to supply switched 12v power to an accessory of your choice. OFF

Extra Settings Default

Adjust Auxiliary Light Flashing Intensity Adjusts strobe brightness of the auxiliary lights w hen “Strobe When Horn Active” or “Strobe On Flash To Pass” is turn on. 100%

Just re-thinking this through.....if the connectors coming out of the unit are red, black and yellow, what is the yellow cable for?

Yes, that’s the instructions from Denali web site. Still doesn’t explain the yellow cable and what it does though.

I think the “advantage”is that the light extension cables offer the option to control two sets of aux lights I.e. the extension splits into a left and right connector. I think that with the hex unit you can only control one as you effectively have to use a chanel each for left and right.

I have the EZcan with both aux lights powered to one output and the horn another output, aux brake lights to the 3rd and a 4th currently free.

I’m wrong then.

How do you bring the individual +/- of the individual spots to the hex then? Is it a simple case of join together and then run to the connector and connect/splice in?

I ran the wires through frame to back then spliced together and joined to the EZcan... link to short YT clip below. Can assume the same can be done with this Denali system. Hope this helps.

Yes, although the kit comes with two extension/splitter cables - see the link in Alex’s post #23 above (labelled “c” in the “What’s in the box” section). Otherwise you could just run wires back to the control box and splice/connect in.........either way there’s a spare yellow wire that the Hex doesn’t have......could be a switched live, although I can’t work out what it’s purpose would be.

Yes, I see what you mean. Not sure why it is a 3 wire connection.

Quick question - if the wires are spliced together, can it still kill the spotlight when the indicator is on i.e. indicate left and spotlight left goes off, indicate right and spotlight right goes off?

As the wires are spliced together then both lights go out when indicating left or right. Personally, I think it's better that way but that is just IMHO. Otherwise, everything else works as described on web site (flash to pass strobe, wonder wheel dim/bright, alternate when hazards are on, strobe with horn etc). Hope this helps.

Yes thanks. Wondered if that's what it did. I agree, probably a better option.

For anyone following this thread then I think that I have an answer to my earlier "third wire" question......

The clue is in the title of the product i.e. this is the Hex EZCan reconfigured for the Denali lights. As such, the Denali lights have a dual intensity set-up. So, (I think) that the third wire is actually a low intensity live wire. This means that fitting without Denali lights is as 'Flaming T' has outlined above with the EZCan unit i.e. you simply splice/solder into the other two + / - (red and black) cables.

Thank god I ordered the Denali lights with the EZCAN

It shouldn't really make any difference as the set-up/connection is the same for either product. If the Denali's are dual intensity lights then arguably the CANsmart is the better option as it probably allows for light adjustment on both of the dual channels.

I read the info yesterday & it says one live is capable of 10amp draw (assume red) & the other a 4amp current draw (assume yellow wire)
I'm sure you'll be able to set the illumination by whatever wire you chose, although anyone fitting the really powerful Led lights or old Halogen lights will need to use the 10amp supply.

Could you run two of these units in series?

For extra features?

You should be able to because remember they only intercept CANBUS signals. You can run two EZCans on a bike.

The principle sounds fine but would the m/f connections clash?

Shouldn't do as male / female have to mate to BMW kit so should all be same

As this CanSmart device has other customisable options for using handlebar controls, I was just wondering if there were other 'creative' ideas to use this in addition to the EzCan.

EG.

HEX EzCan controls

- Left Auxiliary light
- Right Auxiliary light
- Rear Brake Lights
- Power to front and rear cameras

Then CanSmart controls

- Horn SoundBomb
- Pannier Running Lights
- Accessory Socket (heated vest, gloves)
- Radar Missile Tracking

As an example
