Any dongles adapters that work with HLT and accept CAN BUS?

My new ecu outputs with a + / - can bus 2 wire setup. Any one had luck connecting to HLT. (iphone 4s)

Actually all dongles I know (and listed on www.gps-laptimer.de/Compatibility.html) support CAN access. This is done both by the car bus technology independent OBD standard, and by accessing CAN frames directly. As LapTimer accesses the car bus using OBD compliant PID requests only (at least in public editions), any car bus specific tweaking will not add additional value... As initially stated, all dongles support the CAN standard and map it to OBD.

Does your vehicle have an OBDII socket? From your message sound as though you have a new or piggyback ECU.
OBD standards put the Canbus on pins 6 (CAN high) and 14 (CAN low) of the OBD connector.
Don't know if you can just connect these two wires to an OBDII connector make it work though!
If you have an OBDII connector you should be OK.
