IOcan Compatibility
IOcan runs OEM ZF 8HP transmissions standalone in swap, restomod and motorsport builds. If your gearbox is in the 8HP family and you’re driving it from a standalone ECU, IOcan is built for you. Not sure your exact combination is covered? Request a compatibility check and we’ll confirm before you order.
Supported transmissions
Transmission Status
ZF 8HP gen1 (8HP45 / 8HP70 and variants) ✅ Full support
ZF 8HP gen2 (8HP50 / 8HP75 and variants Fxx) ✅ Full support
ZF 8HP gen2 (8HP50 / 8HP75 and variants Gxx) 🔜 In development
ZF 8HP gen3 (8HP51 / 8HP76 and variants Gxx) 🔜 In development
DCT (dual-clutch) 🔜 In development
PDK 🔜 In development
If you’re unsure which 8HP generation or variant you have, send us the part number or a photo of the mechatronic label and we’ll identify it.
Supported ECUs
IOcan is ECU-agnostic — it translates your standalone ECU’s CAN data into the protocol the 8HP expects, so it works alongside the ECU you already chose. Confirmed in real builds:
- Ecumaster EMU / EMU Black
- MaxxECU
- Haltech
- Link G4X
- And many more
Running a different standalone? Ask us — most CAN-capable ECUs can be supported.
Supported driver controls
Shift input is fully configurable and mapped in Apex Studio:
- Sequential shifters
- Paddle shifters
- OEM gear selectors
- CAN keypads and panels (e.g. Blinkmarine)
What IOcan does not need
- No donor-car electronics
- No factory harness or body modules
- No TCU reflash — the mechatronic keeps its original BMW/ZF software
- No external relay boards (power and wake-up are handled internally)
Proven builds
