Hey Ted!

This is what my harness looks like in my m3 what adapter would I need?

Howdy!

You can either do the 54-pin or the SES since you have both. The choice is yours

First one is still in Brisbane Australia if location is correct. Just near me

Right! They were just shipped as we wanted to hold off until we found out what the issue was with the first package.

They are now being manufactured in Australia, by an electronics company owned by a Z4M enthusiast

Quick update here -- I haven't received the units because of an issue with customs as I previously mentioned. Seems FedEx sent one of the two boxes to Ohio before Customs could process it in Memphis, and now it needs to go back to Memphis before they can be released for delivery.

Here are the two tracking numbers coming to me:




I expect to ship the July batch on the 23rd and 25th of this month.

Sorry for the delays!

Any update on the July batch?

The first set of 200 are stuck in customs: https://www.tnt.com/express/en_us/si...cons=975890835

The remainder are set to ship Monday ACST

A quick update for the July batch: PCB assembly, programming and test is happening this week. It'll take them about a week to arrive, so I should be shipping late next week or early the following week. I'm hoping to get most of them shipped in a single day by taking time off my day job.

I cant express how excited I am to finally get this piece installed in my car

Btw. did someone already use this together with an Intravee2? Im currently running the intravee to control my Alpine DSP together with a cheap Bluemusic interface that emulates a CD changer.

Or... is it possible to add custom code to the firmware and maybe the hardware has another i2c or serial available that I could use for communication?

You can't run the BlueBus alongside the Intravee because they both work exactly the same way, which is emulating the factory CD Changer.

There's multiple I2C, SPI and USART interfaces still available on the MCU, but none of them are pinned anywhere because there has never been a need. Sorry!

That particular setting doesn't usually need to be altered, so I have been slow to work it into the single line UI. The easiest fix here is likely for you to access the BlueBus terminal and run this command:

set dac gain 0x44

That will set it back to default. "restore" works too, but then you lose everything else too.

Thanks!

Ted, that did it. Just wanted to say thanks for the tip. Sounds great now with the new business CD "downgrade"!

t3ddftw (and hobo ?? You sound like a dev) One more quick question.

BlueBus is Ted's baby, I'm just the eccentric god parent 😆

Thank you! I'll give that a try.

t3ddftw (and hobo ?? You sound like a dev) One more quick question. I deleted the nav on my E46 and moved one of my Bluebus units over to the new Business CD setup. It auto-detected the change and works, but it appears that the gain is set way too high (very distorted music) and I don’t see a way to change it in CD53 version of settings. The radio, wiring, amp etc seem to be okay because FM radio sounds as it should.

Any way to add gain option to the CD53? Or perhaps I should just factory reset it? (Or move it to my E39 and set the gain there)?

If you would please reference our PMs, you’ll find that I wrote you on 2022-03-04 offering the unit, and you didn’t respond until 2022-04-16

Haha I love shit like this and the entitlement.

Proves the customer is always...wrong.
