So it is possible to have the Lexus GS450h ver. 2 (old pre ZombieVerter) VCU talk directly to a Nextion display TX / RX ? Which pins are you using? Cause I just went out and bought one and am still trying to figure it all out, especially how do we physically hook it up to the VCU, would love not to have to run a separate additional Arduino UNO or Due, etc if I don't have to

I’m using one of the VCU’s CAN lines into a CAN module connected to an Arduino Mega and a serial connection from the Arduino to the Nextion.
