BlueBus: A fully integrated A2DP Bluetooth solution

[t3ddftw]

I believe we have tested the BlueBus on every nav screen at this point. Between a few of us we have quite a collection of head units. Doesn’t surprise me that they haven’t all been posted online though.

Yeah, it definitely works on the whole slew of them -- even the Video Module "only" setups offered places where they couldn't use Navigation due to lack of maps (Hong Kong, South Korea, etc).

It just works best on the MKIV because it has a much faster SoC .

I also forgot to mention: I am opening up pre-orders on April 4th with a ship date in late June / early July. The exciting part is that through the redesign I am able to offer it for $199 USD now, instead of $235.

Thanks!

I've not been afraid of having my E46 broken into for a long time.

Haha, no one knows what it is, thankfully!

I got mine in October so I'm not sure. If it is then I can extort more money!!!

The unit is worth more to me than the money it can fetch, anyway. I used to burn cds to play in-dash 🤠

Ah, you got one from the last production run

Picked up 2 bluebuses second-hand for great prices. One for myself one for a friend of mine.
Excited to pull the E46 m3 out here in the next couple of weeks and get them installed!

That's awesome! I'm glad they are not all being sold at crazy prices.

Been eyeing one of these for ages... but could never force myself to pull the trigger since my fm transmitter gets the job done. A customer/friend of the shop I work at has a e39 M5 who has a nice aftermarket head unit installed. In the trunk, I found a bluebus module that he clearly wasn't using anymore. I asked how much he wanted for it and he just gave it to me for FREE. I'm ecstatic! Plan on upgrading the firmware and installing over the weekend. Will share back with pictures since my E46 M3 still has the original 4:3 NAV screen. Haven't seen any photos of it on that style of head unit.

That is AWESOME! I'm glad someone will be making use of it

Definitely recommend you upgrade to the 16:9 with a MKIV Navi though -- they're just way better.

Did I sell you one of the hand-made units? Those are so much work to assemble, lol.

Hope you enjoy it!

Seems they got a deal!



😩🔫

At least two of them were sold auction and not buy it now…

I've not been afraid of having my E46 broken into for a long time. These cars just aren't attractive to thieves anymore. Seeing the BlueBus second-hand market however I'll think twice now before parking in dodgy areas 😂

I love that someone sold theirs for $675 and still had to charge extra for shipping... God forbid they miss out on a couple dollars profit.

I had my BlueBus sitting on my desk for the better part of 2 years, and I finally installed it a couple weeks ago. Thanks to Ted for helping me with some questions, and the Bluetooth quality is really, really good. I don't think the speakers in my M3 are that great, just that factory Bluetooth setups seem to lose a lot of depth in comparison. Loving my BlueBus.

Perhaps I should consider selling my brand new bluebus 🤔

Just kidding of course, looking forward to installing it once the car comes out of storage as I don't care about the money.

Wow! I guess that can be expected when you make such a great product! Wish I got a chance to actually use it. Wasn’t looking to profit from this, always happy to help out my fellow enthusiasts!

(shameless plug: also have the DME and BNIB SuperSprint stepped catted section 1)!!! I will sell s1 for the discounted price I got it from TMS…15% off!! Local to NJ though)

[t3ddftw]

Sorry again man, someone else swooped in and paid me right away (they actually PM’d me before you did in Feb). So I’m afraid it’s off the market

Unfortunately not… he hasn’t logged back in since the day he posted

Looks like I’m back to the waiting list for the new version this summer!

[fayraree]

PM’d you.

So sorry bud, just logged back in. Rarely come on because no M3 anymore lol. I received another PM as well. First one with payment gets it!

Get me the part number for your microphone. It’s possible your microphone works better without clear voice capture — the 319 one is sorta that way.

Oh ok I will as soon as I can. Dust storm here right now so car is covered up. Once that clears up I’ll get you that pn
