Don_smokey Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Zero chance of interference. It has a faster transfer rate but that's irrelevant for this. because it doesn't work like an regular wire but works with kind of light pulse is it not? yeah plus they are a bitch to splice or repair ive heard. You need special tools to work on them. yeah that they're a bitch to work on i know.. the new mercedes AMG has full fiber optic wiring (think they call it "can-bus") Im all for new technology, but that kindof sucks right there. you can say that again... aftermarket HU in a new mercedes amg? forget it you place it, your car will NOT start "canbus error" (been there done that and cost me allot of cash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbondox Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Optical is MOST, not Can. Optical is a faster transfer rate of both audio and video with less chance of interference from other electronics, and is less wire throughout the vehicle. Splicing or fixing a MOST network, which is completely different from a home/business network is done by replacing the cable from parts. The only issue I have ever seen with optical on MB is that 1 MB owner cut the cable trying to splice in it for audio, and 2 local stereo shops doing the same. Other than that it is pretty robust. The new MOST 150 will offer internet transfer speeds over 100 MB. Also I have seen other issues with MOST in a SAAB due to the placement of the amplifier under the drivers seat which corrodes and dies.
