 Some information about the CAN data has been documented for Mazda MX-5/Miata
 ([NC generation](can_db/mazda_mx5_nc.md) and
 [ND generation](can_db/mazda_mx5_nd.md)).
 
+For other cars, a good starting point is the
+[PidHistogram example](https://github.com/timurrrr/arduino-CAN/tree/master/examples/PidHistogram).
+Using that example, you can see what CAN IDs are used on the CAN network, and
+prioritize your work accordingly. Typically the most useful information is
+included in messages with the most frequent CAN IDs.
