As for the Wiring specialties, they are making a cantrolls harness that will basically satisfy the canbus of the car, while using a non canbus ECM such as stock or whatever else.
They told me they wont be offering a swap harness yet specifically for Canbus Ecus, all the harness will have the cantrolls module.

Sorry for my jumbled up paragraphs haha
well here is the thing when it comes to canbus solutions. or engine swaps in general. Their are so many caveats to how a engine swap will be. What are your requirements, what do you need to work, what engine ecu you will be using for the engine side, what car do you have (push start vs turn key), how much modifications you are willing to do in the wiring. Reason is that even if someone says they can have a full plug and play solution with just two wires (can wires) its impossible. They are some signals for example, on a push button car, that control the power sequence that is not can based. How much modifications to wiring after that point.

So, ECUmaster ive talked to them but no one has confirmed yet if it works. It would still need some physical signals. ive asked them if they have a wiring diagram but they dont. they just said it supports canbus.

So if someone is making a "box" + a wiring harness is usually a easier solution for most people. Similar to what the pure-automotive guys do. I did a system were you replace the old ecu with a solution then rewires everything to the AC1 connector. Helps reduce wiring needed as it uses the stock fuses and relays. But its still limited on what ecu will be running the new engine. Some ecus allow for example Traction control. older ecus might not. etc...
