You'll need a differential comparator, something like what was suggested in here. Image_alt_text But I'd look for a proper Canbus Rx and extract that to convert to single ended one shot to pulse for activity.

Any reason you don't use a CAN transmitter [transceiver] to convert CANsignals to a 5V-Signal? It is probably easier.

Either solution sounds over-engineered IMO. If you have a CAN bus, you have a MCU, so why not use the MCU?
