Vehicle importers
If you need a vehicle signal, a dedicated module or a solution that must work across a model range, we can support the process from analysis to implementation.
Custom solutions
Custom CAN solutions
Not every vehicle or project fits a standard solution. Styrestrøm helps vehicle importers, distributors and local workshops identify, develop and implement solutions for modern vehicle communication.
From problem to solution
We can help when an off-the-shelf product is not enough.
We work hands-on with vehicles, CAN and CAN FD, signal analysis, firmware and integration. The goal is a solution that works in the vehicle and in your real-world workflow.
Who we support
A technical partner for the automotive industry
We can support both one-off technical projects and longer-term vehicle programmes.
Distributors & vehicle builders
We can develop solutions around your own products, vehicle programmes or market requirements when a standard CAN interface does not cover the need.
Local workshops
If you are stuck on a vehicle, we can assist with signal analysis, CAN/CAN FD, integration and technical troubleshooting to move the installation forward.
What we can provide
From CAN data to working integration
CAN & CAN FD analysis
Analysis of vehicle logs and bus traffic to identify relevant messages, bytes, bits and states.
Custom firmware
Firmware adaptation or development for specific vehicles, signals and functions.
Special-purpose modules
Development of modules and prototypes for lighting, vehicle signals, taxi applications and specialist vehicle integrations.
Technical support
Help with CAN connections, signal selection, troubleshooting and integration when a vehicle platform or installation becomes difficult.
Selected custom projects
Examples of problems we have solved with dedicated solutions
Projects where the customer had a specific requirement that was not covered by an off-the-shelf product.

Trailer indicator solution for a Norwegian vehicle importer — solved in two hours
A Norwegian vehicle importer contacted us with a trailer-lighting problem. The vehicle’s trailer module was outputting a constant 12V on the left and right turn-signal outputs instead of a pulsed signal. The result was that the trailer indicators stayed continuously lit instead of blinking — not road legal.
The manufacturer could correct the issue, but could not provide an ETA. The importer needed a solution that could be put into service immediately.
We wired in one of our modules using two separate outputs and wrote dedicated firmware triggered by the vehicle’s left and right turn signals. The module converts the constant 12V input into the correct pulsed output for the trailer indicators.
From problem to working solution: approximately two hours.

Mercedes-Benz GLC – reliable integration with matrix-light support
Motorhuset Alta had already tried several available modules on a Mercedes-Benz GLC, but experienced intermittent operation: the system could work on one occasion and fail on the next.
We analysed the vehicle and developed a dedicated solution that operated consistently and followed the vehicle’s matrix high-beam behaviour as intended. The result was an integration the workshop could rely on in real use.

The recording is not high quality, but it clearly demonstrates the function and the final result.
