The major car manufacturers use proprietory protocols that they guard very carefully. I can't count the number of times I have had someone ask me for an automotive protocol or how to reverse engineer one...


What I was thinking of is an open-source vehicle system, running on CAN, or microCanOpen. Would that fly (or drive)

It depends on what parts of the vehicle you are dealing with. For aspects that require hard real time requirements there are options like time-triggered CAN (TTCAN) that might be better suited. If you are talking about the dashboard instrumentation, body control module or measuring things like speed, temperature, etc. then I think that CANopen would work fine.

Usually in a vehicle there are several networks with different purposes. There is everything from the real time networks for the engine/transmission/breaking to lightweight networks such as LIN for the door locks.
