Cool to read about this.

I'm in Munich close to Bmw etc and whenever I did something with automotive it would say 'automotive grade components '.

I would not have assumed this would just work.

Is this also connected to can? Or is this only for old cars? So what inputs does it use?

It is only for direct replacement of the OEM ignition units on these Ferraris. The cars pre-date any kind of diagnostic bus. Although some cars of the era did have at least some flash code based diagnostics, the Ferraris really had nothing until the 348 came out in 1989.
