Hope your fault was nothing like mine Perry......it was a right PITA.

looking at creating a module myself that I can then offer to peeps here for a fraction of the cost offered by those companies...
I have achieved it with a Pi, but i want to see if I can work out how others do it so I can ensure i'm doing it right, before offering it to others (as an arduino package most likely)

I'd be quite surprised but easy to test by disconnecting bothBing said:See, now this is making me wonder if my headlight problem is related to having both fitted... Because even disconnecting the intravee and the battery for 30mins didnt solve it
All I-Bus messages are all directed messages (device/module/controller to device/module/controller) and have a header specifying the sending & receiving ID. The receiving control modules are supposed to ignore any packets not addressed to them.
For sending I-bus messages, I would expect the Intravee to use the ID of the CD changer, and the GapTech would probably use the ID of one of the relevant body control modules (it would also snoop the bus for the lock/unlock commands received from the remote control)

Steve can record my car if we can get together...
I would try fully disconnecting the gaptech mate...
I had one for 12months or so before it messed up.... And tripped an airbag warning light and my windows and wipers stopped working.
Took it to a garage who said it a short on my kbus... And they spent hours removing items one by one.... At which time i said try that gaptech..... £400 labour and 2 days later the car back to normal... Minus 1 gaptech.

This is true.. the only thing I'd say is that not all IBUS messages are direct.. there is quite a lot of messages that get sent to GLO (Global), but the LCM doesn't listen out for those afaik
however.. the GapTech does run on the KBUS, rather than the IBUS, so if it's causing some sort of headache on that line, who knows? lol
