BlueBus: A fully integrated A2DP Bluetooth solution

[bmwfnatic]

Probably -- someone got over $300 for theirs on Facebook Marketplace 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

With the original pice of $180, seems like a great ROI 😆

Glad to hear it! That was definitely the idea when I made the unit

If you haven't upgraded the software, I would. It only gets better over time. I can't tell you what exactly you should expect without knowing what version you're on already.

I would upgrade to this version: https://d3uwtdqahrxbn.cloudfront.net...1_19_rc_11.hex

Thanks!

I'll get around to it eventually, something about not touching something that isn't broken, perhaps 😂

I've been on 1.1.19 RC4 for over a month now and I'm pleased to report that it works great. No more crashing, it just works.

Also, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to enable the angel eyes always on feature on the E39. Are there features that can only be set with a nav?

Yeah, I guess I didn't add this to the MID UI. Shoot me an email and I'll see about adding a way to enable it quickly. Sorry!

Ah, wow. June is likely the longest I’ll wait until I give up and go another solution..

Yeah, I totally understand -- it has been a crazy wait...

Ted, does that mean the value of mine has gone up?

Looking forward to installing it in the next couple months.

I've had this in my car for almost 2 years now. It has become an integral part of the car, like it belongs and always has been there.

Is there much to gain from flashing a software update to it now?

I can only agree :-)

Uhhhhhhh, not so much! June is the target — towards the end of this month I’ll have prototypes of the newest hardware revision, in case you’re that itchy for one. As it stands, it works really well on my janky wired up version:

Are we about a monthish out from a new batch?

PM’d you.

Well that sold quickly, lol

Hi all, wanted to give a heads up that I have a BNIB BlueBus unit + TCU adapter received in July 2020 but never installed (lost my car in an accident in 2021). Clearing out my garage! PM if anyone is interested.

That would indeed explain it.

As a suggestion, would it be feasible to have the Bluebus assume by default that the dimmer is set to the brightest setting until it pulls the actual value?

People please correct me if I’m wrong, but most people I know just leave their interior lights on their brightest settings.

NOOOOPPE.

Minimum functional brightness in every car.

Night vision FTW.

[Der_Spanier]

It sounds like the LM value for the dimmer just hasn't been polled when you take off rolling. Try turning the dimmer up once and then back down to where you had it before you take off and it shouldn't happen. Meanwhile, I'll look at the code.

I can already answer that one. It happens when I leave the garage/parking lot and get to the first turn or situation where I use OT blinkers.
