CAN Bus on DME 5.2?

I was looking at fitting a datalogger which can interpret signals on the car's CAN bus and seems to need CAN high and LOW signals - looking at the wiring diagrams for a Mk1 GT3 it looks like the DME is 5.2 as opposed to 338 in a C2 of similar vintage - and one main difference in the DME wiring is that I can't see CAN wires feeding the DME - would that be correct? The Mk1 has no CAN bus? Does the Mk2? If the Mk1 does have CAN, where can I find the wires

You are correct the Mk1 GT3 did not use the CAN bus at all.

From what I can tell even on the MY99-01 996 the CAN bus was only used for Tiptronic to DME communication. Starting in MY02 (DME 7.8) they starting putting more on the CAN bus.
