Depends on their design evolution. The current HW has 2 CAN transceivers and a microprocessor with 4 (5?) CAN controllers. I believe Adrian stated that they are currently only using one of the existing CAN transceivers so it is possible to use the 2nd one for K-CAN access, although as you have suggested, its still not entirely clear if the buttons are on that bus. I believe they are being forwarded onto K-CAN at some point though.

However a HW respin would be become necessary if they choose to use the 2nd CAN transceiver for a bridge/gateway application (which has also been discussed and tested) and also to keep the speculative K-CAN access as this would require a total of 3 CAN transceivers.
