RelayX

Somewhere between the AnalogX and ShiftX2 could be another product for a CAN message triggered relay board. It could also maybe report back relay state. Since CAN wires and 12V are already distributed around vehicles, why not make a board to leverage the existing infrastructure? This could be a good way to minimize installation and make products like Track and Pro expandable.
While it's possible to do by stacking arduino shields, seems an integrated CAN/relay board would be popular yet I've not found it anywhere. Closest example is the RBoard, but it lacks CAN input. I like how the board can be powered by the same voltage source as the relays, or not.
