Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Toucan display. We hope it will be easy to install and configure,
and we suggest that you read this guide before installation.
Installation
Before You Start
Please check the box contents to ensure nothing is missing. You should have:
Unit
Cable Harness
Mount

Installation
Connectors
ENSURE THE CAR BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL YOUR TOUCAN DISPLAY UNIT
IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CONSULT A QUALIFIED AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICIAN
Power
Each power feed has an inline fuse holder pre-fitted with a 1 Amp 20mm glass fuse.
Ensure a good ground connection is provided to the BLACK wire.
To allow Toucan to power up quickly, it is recommended that a connection to both a
permanent and switched (i.e., only live when the ignition is on) vehicle battery feeds are
made. When the ignition is off, Toucan will consume about 40 milliamps from the
BLACK Power Ground

permanent connection –a typical, healthy, 40 amp-hour vehicle battery will last over a
month before being run completely flat by Toucan: but it’s your choice.
If you decide not to connect the YELLOW permanent +12 Volt, please make sure it is
wired along with the PINK connection to the switched ignition feed; otherwise, Toucan
may not start up when you turn on the ignition.
Toucan will take about 6 seconds to start if the permanent +12 Volt feed is not connected
compared to less than a second when the permanent connection is made.
A connection to the vehicle lighting circuit may be made using the ORANGE connector –
this will allow the Toucan unit to automatically dim when the vehicle lights are turned on.
If not required, please insulate the unused wire to prevent damage to the unit or vehicle.
CAL Switch –Grey Wire
The long GREY wire may be connected to an ECU input for analogue (0-5V) CAL/MAP
switching if required –if not, please make sure the bare end is insulated.
-Syvecs. The grey wire may be used, connected to a 0-5V input configured as a
CAL switch but in most cases, switching will be via CANbus (see later)
-Link, AlcaTek, SimTek, ECUMaster, Emtron. Not generally used.
-Haltech –may be used if supported and required
-MoTeC M1 –some variants do not support CAN receive, so this wire can be
used if required.
Data Connector
The Toucan cable is pre-fitted with a 5-way white connector suitable for Link G4+/G4X
plugin ecus. If other ECUs are used this connector can be cut off and connections made
directly to the ECU.

If used with a Syvecs Subaru Impreza PnP model then the PnP module is fitted with an
RJ11 MODEM-style connector. An combined adapter and 1m extension cable for this is
available from us.
Multiway Connector
This connects to the rear of the Toucan unit. Note that it has a latching tab that must be
depressed before the connector and cable can be detached.
The connector is intended to allow occasional removal of the unit from the car to allow,
for example, firmware updates to be applied.

When detaching the unit, take care not to put unnecessary strain on the
wires otherwise they may be damaged.
In-vehicle Mounting
Toucan is fitted with a mounting plate using the AMPS mounting hole pattern (common
to many phone and satnav mounting systems). The plate suits the Arkon dual-T mounting
system, and a vent mount is included. Alternatives are available online - search for “Arkon
Mount” and then look for “dual-T” compatible mounts.
Initial Toucan Configuration
Having checked the installation of your Toucan, ensuring all connectors are fully home
and especially that the power wiring is correct, reconnect the vehicle battery and turn on
the ignition. After a few seconds, Toucan should power up and display the main gauge
screen.
CAL switch configuration
If Toucan is being used to select calibrations via the grey wire rather than CANbus (see
later), it is necessary to check that the voltage thresholds configured in the ECU match
those of your Toucan. Toucan supports 8 or 12 CAL positions. Analogue rotary CAL
switches vary, and your mapper may have adjusted the ECU values to match your specific
switch. These are typical threshold values:
8 CAL POSITIONS

To ensure Toucan and the ECU calibration match, you can either alter the voltages in the
Toucan unit or alter the ECU to match Toucan.
Note that switching Toucan between 8 and 12 CAL positions will cause the
voltages to default to the values in the tables above.
See the basic operation guide for how to adjust the CAL voltage output of Toucan.
Doesn’t work?
•Double check the power wiring
•Remove the cable from Toucan and re-attach a few seconds later –this will give
the unit a reset.

Datastream Configuration
Most ECUs will use CANbus to transmit and receive data to/from Toucan. Toucan will auto-
detect the datastream from the ECU, but the ECU must first be configured to transmit the
correct data.
Link (and Vi-PEC)
Toucan can receive runtime parameters and status information from Link and Vi-PEC
ECUs via CANbus. G4 and V-series ECUs with a serial number lower than 10,000 will need
a CAN upgrade by a Link dealer.
Toucan is also capable of activating CAN Digital Input (DI) channels 1 to 8 on Link
G4+/G4X and Vi-PEC i-series ECUs
Gauge Data Setup
Configuration of the ECU is done using 2 files available from the JT Innovations website:
1) Toucan CAN Extra Frame V189 onward G4+.lcs.
2) Toucan CAN DI V189 onward.lcs
There are versions of these files on the website for earlier Toucan firmware releases if
needed.
Configuration of the ECU is done via the “CAN Setup” feature, accessible from the “ECU
Controls” drop down menu.
1. Open the CAN Setup window: ECU Controls | CAN Setup
2. Select the CAN module to be used
3. Set the Mode to 'User Defined'.
4. Configure the Bit Rate to 1 Mbit/s
5. Select a spare CAN channel.
6. Select 'Transmit Generic Dash' from the Mode drop-down menu.
7. Set the Transmit Rate to 20 Hz.
8. Set the CAN ID to 1500, and ensure the Format is set to “Standard”
9. Select the next spare CAN Channel.
10. Select ‘Transmit User Stream X’ from the Mode drop-down menu (where ‘X’ is
the next unused transmit or receive user stream number.
11. Set the CAN ID also to 1500, transmit rate to 20Hz, and ensure the format is set
to “Standard”.
12. Select 'Receive User Stream Y' from the Mode drop-down menu (Where ‘Y’ is
the next unused transmit or receive user stream number).
13. Set the CAN ID to 1501.
14. Ensure the Format is set to “Standard”
15. Change to the Streams tab of the CAN Setup window. Select Stream X–where
“X”is the stream selected above - and then click Load Stream.
16. Select ‘Toucan CAN Extra Frame V189 onward.lcs’ and click the Open button.
17. Select Stream Y(where “Y”is as selected above) and then click Load Stream.

18. Select ‘Toucan CAN DI V189 onward.lcs’and click the Open button.
19. Make sure no other CAN channels are configured on the same CAN IDs.
20. Click Apply and then OK.
21. Make sure a Store (F4) is performed.
There is a “G4” setting available via Toucan’s More Page 4 menu – the available
parameters and data scaling is slightly different for the G4.
CAN DI Control Functions
Link G4+ and Vi-PEC i-series ECUs allow a wide range of parameters to be controlled via a
CANbus message that acts as a “CAN Digital Input”. This includes functions such as launch
control on/off, anti-lag on/off, fuel table switching, boost limit switching, etc.
Toucan has dedicated touch controls for launch control and antilag activation. In addition, it
provides 8 “Calibration” (“CAL”) selections that can be used to control any combination of
the 8 DI channels available from Toucan.
To make use of these functions, CAN Digital Inputs must be configured using the PCLink
software to correctly assign functions to the relevant CAN DI channel(s). You may need your
mapper to do this for you.
Toucan Configuration This is accessed via the “More” menus on page 4.
A grid of all 8 available DI channels against the 8 “CALs”, plus
the launch and antilag button functions is presented. You now
select the required DI’s to be transmitted for each of these
functions. CALs have User text that may be used to describe the
function of each Cal (see later).
ECU Configuration –Anti-Theft
Toucan allows “CAL 9” to be used to enable an immobiliser/anti-theft function. In
combination with requiring a PIN to change to or from the last CAL (CAL 9 in this case) this
can be a useful additional level of security.
To enable this function, you must have configured the CAN DI functionality as described
above, and the ECU set such that the “Allow CAN Anti-Theft Request” is enabled.

Syvecs/Life Racing
For most installations, CANbus will be used to communicate with Toucan, but the exact
methodology depends on the ECU variant and vehicle.
RX Mode
“More” Page 4 allows a choice between CAN 1Mbit/s (the default), CAN at 500kbit/s
(0.5Mbit/s) or S232.
S232
This is a special mode where the Syvecs ECU replicates the CAN content on an RS232
datastream. This is used if there is a reason Toucan cannot be connected to the ECU CANbus.
The exact format of the data is dependent on the CAN RX mode as below.
Toucan Receive (RX) Modes
This is configured on “More Page 4” with the following options:
•S6. Only 20 CAN frames are checked
oThe S232 protocol is automatically configured in Toucan to match that
used by the S6 and S6+ ECUs.
•FIXED. This sets the Toucan to expect the fixed datastream that is available on CAN1
of S7 ECUs.
oThe S232 protocol to expect the same data as per the Fixed CAN
datastream, so if using S232, the RS232 Datastream of the ECU should be
set to “Syvecs” via SCal; this is only applicable to the S7.
•CUST. This sets the CAN to expect the (up to) 40 frames of CAN data as allowed in
the “Generic Transmit” frame/slot assignments of S6/8/12 or S7 CAN2. There is a
default set available for Toucan (download from the website), but you can manually
edit these to match the ECU if necessary. See later.
oThe S232 protocol is also set in this mode to follow the Generic Transmit
CAN setup so the RS232 datastream in the ECU should be set “CAN ECHO”
via SCal.

Page
10
Toucan Transmit (TX) Modes
This only applies to CAN data (no data is transmitted via RS232)
•OFF. No CAN data is transmitted
•GEN –uses the S7/S8/S12 “Generic Receive” format, as described later, to send
control data via CAN for:
oTC or launch CAL selection
oLaunch Control on/off
oALS on/off
oThe S6/S6+ do not support this mode.
•SYV/M4 –uses the Syvecs extensions to the Bosch M4 protocol. This is mostly used
for the S6/S6+ and early S7I ECUs with only 1x CANbus to send control data via CAN
for:
oCAL selection
oALS on/off if required (“Receive ALS Enable Switch” must be enabled in
SCal).
This mode is found in SCAL under “Syvecs CAN Receive”
Note that Toucan does not transmit all of the data the comprises the Bosch M4 ABS
data set so, unless the vehicle is already transmitting these and the vehicle CAN bus is
connected to the Syvecs, there will be errors reported due to the missing frames.This
is normal and is not a cause for concern.
SCal Configuration for “Generic Receive”, S7 using CAN2, or S8/12
Using CAN2 on the S7+, or either CAN on the S8
•Under “Datastreams”, then “Generic CAN receive”:
oSet “Receive B Enable” to “YES” for “B01..B08”.
oSet “Receive B Bus” to “CAN2” (for S7+) or (usually) “CAN1” for the S8
oCheck that “Receive B Identifier” for “B01..B08” is set to “0x64Eh” (this is
NOT the default)
•Under “IO Configuration” and “Pin Assignments” set, as required:
oALS Enable Switch to use “X:CAN RECEIVE B #01”
oLaunch Control Switch to use “X:CAN RECEIVE B #02”
oCalibration Switch to use “X:CAN RECEIVE B #03”
oALS Select switch (or Traction Control Switch, as preferred) to “X:CAN
RECEIVE B #04”
oCalibration Override switch to “X:CAN RECEIVE B #05”
oLaunch Select switch to “X:CAN RECEIVE B #06”
•Check and if necessary edit the “Generic CAN Transmit” stream:
oFrame 11 Slot 1 either “tcSelect” or “alsSelect” as required
oFrame 11 Slot 2 is “calSelect”
oFrame 11 Slot 3 is “launchRPM”

5V Output Modes
The grey wire in the Toucan cable harness has traditionally been used as a stepped 0-5V
control to mimic a rotary CAL switch. Although of limited use for the current range of Syvecs
ECUs, if any of the TX modes are being used to control CAL selection instead, this output can
be changed to be:
•0-5V on/off switch following the Launch Control button on the main gauge screen
•0-5V stepped control following the Traction Control (TC) CAL select menus
These modes are mostly used for S6/S6+ or single-CAN S7I ECUs.

Additional Features
Sensor Alarms
Syvecs firmware version 1.25 onwards allows sensor alarms to be configured, and for this
information to be transmitted via CAN bus to Toucan. In essence, individual sensors can
be configured to be ignored if they fail, or to generate a minor, moderate or critical alarm
value. If this is configured in the calibration, Toucan alarms can be enabled to draw your
attention to sensor failures. SCal will still be needed to determine which sensor has
actually caused the alarm.
Your mapper can advise on the best configuration of sensor alarms for your specific
vehicle, or contact JT Innovations technical support for advice.
Changing Frame/Slot Assignments (except S7 CAN1 which is Fixed)
Although the JT Innovations-supplied CAN datastream definitions are applicable in most
cases, there are occasions when it is not possible to use this. One example is when the Syvecs
is installed in a vehicle that uses a CAN bridge module, which then needs CAN data in specific,
incompatible slots.
On “More Page 4” you can access an editor to alter the Toucan CAN frame and slot
assignments.
This is considered an Advanced option and should only be done if you are comfortable
accessing the calibration in your Syvecs using SCal to determine the frame and slot
assignments.

Turning Parameters Off
The frame/slot assignments can be used to turn off parameters by setting the frame to “0”.
This is mostly useful in two specific instances:
1. Traction CAL. If the frame is set off, the “TC” icon will not appear on the main
screen and the ability to name and select the traction CALs is hidden.
2. Turning off knock ignition retard assignments for any cylinders will make sure the
knock value for those cylinders are not displayed, nor used for the overall knock
alarm calculations.
Extended Gauge Set.
There is a duplicate set of gauges for: Gear, Air Temp, Coolant Temperature, Throttle, RPM,
Oil Pressure and Oil Temperature. By default these parameters have their frame assignment
set to 0, which hides and disables them. They can be “activated” by configuring valid frame
and slot settings –these must match the setting of the ECU datastream –and they can then
be chosen to be viewed on the main gauge screens etc.
These can be useful if, for example, two air temperature sensors are fitted, one before and
one after the intercooler perhaps. They can also be used for any other parameter (e.g.
transmission temperature) as long as the parameter scaling matches that of the gauge itself.
Status Indicators
Status indicators are available on any or all of the main gauge pages in the location of the two
smallest gauges. By default, the CANbus frame assignments are set to frame 12 Slot 1 –if the
ECU is set to transmit a status (such as aircon, or water injection, etc.) then status can be
viewed. Status “0” will show as a red indicator, “1” as green, “2” as yellow and “3” as blue.
Launch RPM
The S7/S8/S12/F88 ecus support launch RPM adjustment in most cases. The RPM is adjusted
via a “Launch Select Switch”, with rpm offsets applied to the base/calibration launch rpm, as
set by SCal.
Using Toucan’s CAN TX mode, Launch Calibration Switch selection (1 to 12) can be set via the
full screen RPM gauge when the CAN TX mode is set to “GEN” (meaning “Generic”, or Syvecs
“Generic Receive” mode) using up/down buttons on the screen. The CAN RX mode will need
to be “CUST.”, and the Generic Transmit stream calibration edited to include “launchRPM” –
the default Toucan frame/slot setting for this is Frame 20, Slot 1.

Page
14
Emtron
Toucan can receive runtime parameters and status information from Emtron ECUs and is
also capable of sending messages to the ECU to control:
•CAL switching
•Launch on/off
•ALS on/off
•Either ALS or Traction Control CAL switching (as preferred)
Configuring the Gauge Datastream
Files will need to be downloaded from the JTinnovations website –there are 2 files in a file
called “Toucan Emtron Frames.zip” from the relevant page of the ‘site.
Use the Emtune PC program to configure the CAN datastreams.
1. Set CANbus 1 to 1Mbps
2. Set CAN1 –Channel 1 to
•Enable ON
•Pre-defined Tx Data Set 1
•CAN Base Address = 1250
•Addressing –Sequential (11 bit)
•Direction –Transmit
•Transmit Rate 10Hz, max 20Hz.
3. Configure Custom Tx Data Set 1 –read in “Toucan Emtron Additional TX
Frames.edf” and set Can1 – Channel 2 as follows
•Enable ON
•Transmit “Custom Tx Data Set 1”.
•CAN Base address 1260
•Addressing –Sequential (11 bit)
•Direction –Transmit
•Transmit Rate 10Hz (or 20Hz) –makes no big deal, but no point being
faster
4. Configure Custom Rx Data Set 1 –read in “Toucan Emtron RX Frames.ecx”
5. Set CAN 1 –Channel 3 as follows
•Enable ON
•Transmit “Custom Rx Data Set 1”.
•CAN Base address 1270
•Addressing –Single (11 bit)
•Direction –Receive

Page
15
Toucan will auto detect the stream as usual. TX functions from Toucan are:
•CAL switching –sent as CAN AN Volt 1, with each step as 650mV, 8 steps
•Launch on/off –sent as CAN AN Volt 2, switching between 0/5V
•ALS on/off –sent as CAN AN Volt 3, switching between 0/5V
•ALS or TC CAL or whatever (use as wanted) - sent as CAN AN Volt 4, with each step
as 650mV, 8 steps
Haltech and ECUMaster
Before Toucan can display any gauges, the ECU must be configured correctly.
ECU
Configuration
Haltech
No additional setup required –the Haltech “V2” protocol is usually pre-selected as
the default.
ECUMaster
Configure the ECU to transmit the “Haltech E8 E11v2” protocol at 1Mbit/s
Trim Switch
If the ECU variant used supports the use of trim selection switches, Toucan provides an 8-way
voltage output to emulate a physical switch. This is named a “CAL” (calibration) output in
Toucan.
This voltage is available on the grey wire of the supplied cable harness, and it should be wired
to the appropriate input pin of the ECU.
By default, the 8 steps are set to the following voltages, although these can be adjusted if
needed:
TRIM VOLTAGE OUTPUT
CAL
Toucan Voltage

0.00V
2
0.70V

MoTeC M1
Note that for Toucan to auto-detect the MoTeC M1 datastream, the Syvecs CAN RX mode on
More Page 4 must be set to “S6”.
Toucan uses the MoTeC “M1 General” datastream and defaults to a 1Mbit/s datarate
although that can be changed to 500kbit/s via the Toucan menus if required.
This stream should be enabled on the CANbus channel that Toucan has been wired to –
the setting is in M1 Tune via the “ECU Transmit” options under the Communications tab
of Vehicle settings.
MoTeC Control Functions
Toucan allows the following functions to be controlled from the touchscreen interface:
•launch control on/off
•antilag on/off
•launch RPM adjustment (10 steps)
•A 10 position “driver rotary switch”, usually used for calibration (“map”) switching
•A second 10 position driver rotary switch which can be used, for example, as a
traction control selection switch
•Keypad functions (e.g., cruise control on/off). These are described in a separate
document available on the JT Innovations website.
Data is transmitted as follows:

To make use of these functions, User Inputs must be configured using the MoTeC M1 tune
software. This is done via the “ECU” and “Receive” options under the Communications tab of
Vehicle settings:
•Select the Physical CANbus channel used (e.g., CAN Bus 1)
•Set the CAN ID to 528 (NB –Toucan transmits with ID 529, but the setting in M1
Tune has to be a multiple of 16 as the “base” address for 16 received channels,
which in this case is 528).

Page
17
The M1 ECU allows up to 4 “Driver CAN switches”, so only 4 of the functions above can be
controlled unless the M1 is running custom software. The required function can be allocated
to a Driver CAN Switch using the message and offset from the table above.
For example:
•to use Toucan’s launch switch, CAN Switch 1 could be allocated to Driver CAN
Switch 1 by setting it to Message 2 Offset 0
•In the “Race Functions” section of M1 Tune, configure the “Driver Anti Lag Switch
Index” to be “Driver CAN Switch 1”
AlcaTek
Note that for Toucan to auto-detect the AlcaTek datastream, the Syvecs CAN RX mode on
More Page 4 must be set to “S6”.
The AlcaTek ECU may need configuring to allow launch control and ALS on/off to be
performed by Toucan –please discuss with your mapper as there is no publicly accessible
version of the AlcaTek tuning software to refer to.
Simtek
Please discuss with your mapper. There is no configuration of Toucan necessary.
CANbus Termination
It will be necessary to enable the bus termination if Toucan is the last device on a CANbus
network. By default the termination is switched off, but it may be enabled by sliding the
small switch on the rear of the unit towards the 4-prong mounting plate. You may need to
use a small screwdriver to access the switch through the rear cover.
You can confirm the status of the termination switch via the “more” menus.
