Toyota RAV4 Inverter Hacking

Post by Jack Bauer »

Picked up a 2016 Rav4 inverter on ebay for a very good price (100gbp shipped). This guy has 3 inverters, boost converter and dcdc converter. First look inside seems very similar to the is300h inverter.

I also picked up one of these and also a Gen3 + Gen4 Prius inverters. Will be very interesting to try and make sense of these. Will probably start with the live hacking session recordings as a follow along.

Any further info on these? Can you use any existing board to run one of MG outputs or is there something special going on?

Edit: I suppose this is the same deal as with RX450 inverter?

What is the status of the reversed engineering? I am planning to use NX300h inverter which as far as I know uses the same comms as RX and probably as 3 motors RAV4. Does anyone has logs from vehicle with 3 motors inverters?
