Tap on the power train CAN bus on f15

[x5driver_one]

Hi,

Just joined today the XBimmers !! Awesome forum !

I would like to connect the electronic controller of an exhaust active sound system on the power train CAN bus of my X5 M50d. When I look at the vehicle wire harness located on the right side of the trunk, there are too many wires of different colors.

I suppose (but I am not really sure) PT-CAN wires are twisted together and the color code is as follows:
CAN high = Red
CAN low = Blue-Red

Could you please confirm such code of color for that bus ?

I have plan to cut this PT-CAN twisted pair in order to solder them with the 2 wires of the controller unit coming from the active sound system . Is there any risk to do so ? I fear to create a problem on the PT-CAN bus by doing this . So if some PT-CAN bus experts could give me few recommendations , that will be great

But I am still blocked by looking at the PT-CAN wires in the vehicle wire harness.
Does somebody on the forum have any tip ?
