Function description

When used as a cruise control, MagicSpeed MS880 keeps the preset speed of your
choice as constant as possible. The system compares the actual speed to the set
speed and corrects the actual speed as necessary.
The activation speed of the cruise control is about 40 km/h.
MagicSpeed is comprised of an electronic module and a cable set. The electronic
module is connected to a control element (accessory) with which you can make the
required settings. The control element is fitted in the dashboard area.
The system is equipped with various safety features for your protection.

Connection options

MagicSpeed MS880 can process either a digital speed signal from the CAN bus
(CAN bus connection) or an analogue speed signal (analogue connection). A CAN
bus connection is not possible in all vehicles with a CAN bus.
I
NOTE for vehicles with CAN bus
• You can find out whether a CAN bus connection is possible for your
vehicle from the vehicle-specific product overview on our home-
page, or by calling to enquire (see rear page of the manual for
contact data).
• If your vehicle features a CAN bus, but a CAN bus connection is not
possible according to the vehicle list, MagicSpeed MS880 must be
connected using a analogue connector. This will require the speed
signal to be received in analogue form.
If the speed signal is only available on the CAN bus in digital form,
you will require the CAN bus interface MagicSpeed CBI150 for the
installation of MagicSpeed MS880. This converts the digital speed
signal from the CAN bus into an analogue one.
• A CAN bus interface is not required for the CAN bus connection.
