Transmitting infodata on MM-CAN

In my first experiments with can bus, I send message to instrument cluster of my kuga mk1, I replace the radio info and the street name in the nav mode, and this is the result.

The text are ascii in hex, I use the windows programmers calc to convert ascii code to hex.

What i found in my research is that MP3 played from USB (FL Mondeo with S&C) gives titles on ID 4C7 (MM-CAN),
Phone via Bluetooth uses 4C3, 4C6
Radiotext and Navigationtargets comes via 4C1 (MSB is multiplex-index)
Also 4B0 (Bluetooth Musik, multiplex)
4B2+4B3 Station names

That could absolutely be true. I did not investigate this further, even if i got all kinds of satnav systems here at hand, but too less time, you know :?
These are only my findings with an MCA.

It would be good if we could share CAN IDs and meanings on behalf of functionality...
