I have a DIY project where I need to take some data from the M235i and implement it into my product for feedback. I am going to be using an Arduino, and an OBD2 to Arduino cable. Below is what the OBD2 converter can do.

This adapter can CAN sniff which is exactly what I need to, but I later found a PDF which I have linked here saying that on this vehicle it isn't possible to get CAN info.

So will the adapter I have be able to pull the CAN info? Or am I able to get sensor readings like BimmerLink does via OBD2 and get information? The information I need are:
- Steering Angle
- Brake Pedal Position
- Vehicle Speed
EDIT 1: I have found a Facebook post as well here.

So if I am able to pull data, I can easily find it since I assume there isn't a difference in the CAN info between an M2 and M235i.
I am very new to this but I hope this post makes sense!
Would be worth mentioning the adapter can also define PIDs from the OBD2 so is it possible there is a PID of the brake pedal position and steering angle? I know there is one that measures the speed obviously.
EDIT 2: I also found another forum post and wanted to confirm if this is all the data that can be read through other BMW's, specifically the 2 series
https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1#post29223861 as it looks like I can get steering angle and vehicle speed, but the only thing missing is braking, but I think I can just use the brake light as a condition for my DIY project.
