BlueBus: A fully integrated A2DP Bluetooth solution

[t3ddftw]

Does anyone remember when the fall shipment was supposed to go out? I ordered at the end of June.

They were originally scheduled to ship this coming week, but unfortunately that was not possible. Instead, It should ship out in the first or second week of November. They unfortunately haven't been manufactured yet due to some delays with the supply chain.

Hahaha. Alright, easy enough --

1. Put the recovery jumper in the short position
2. Hook up the PICKit to the BlueBus
3. Download and burn this hex file via the IPE: https://t3ddftw.s3.us-east-2.amazona...loader_1_5.hex

If that doesn't work, I can guide you through building the firmware with MPLAB X / xc16 and that has never failed to burn the bootloader before.

Thanks!

Thanks, worked like a charm, I was missing the recovery shorting part!

Great product, I love it! 😍

a manual would be great about all the work

Well, the big issues are:

1. You need to run wires across the car 2. You need to large lengths of wires with either round or flat pins on the radio end (four of these)
3. You need even longer MQS terminated wires for the microphone

I don't know where to source the round pin terminals, though I think I can find the flat pins. But I can't suggest a good crimper, and I hate solder joints. So it's less about documentation and more about not being able to point you to the requisite supplies.

Are there instructions for EU vehicles that were delivered from the factory without a telephone?

Has anyone done that before?

BM54 and CD 54

I typically suggest a 3.5mm microphone. Anything else is lots of work...

Thank you very much for explaining the necessary parts!👍

[t3ddftw]

Lol thanks for the guarantee!😎

I will be looking into getting it, in the videos there is a "phone option hardware piece with wiring cable" https://youtu.be/3BQf-GmpC-A. Is that option on the website as a package with the main module?
Appreciate your work & quick reply

There are different ones depending on year and model -- https://www.bluebus.dev/telephone-adapters

The adapter is not included and must be purchased separately: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-bluebus-parts/

Thanks!

Hi I just happened to come across the thread & watched the youtube videos, & definitely appreciate all the hard work you have put into the product. Hoping it will be the best phone integration for this generation of BMW🔊📲📳

Thanks! If you can find something that works better, I'll buy it myself

Thanks for the response.
The problem I am trying to fix is that I played around with the PICKit trying to be a smartass 😁 and now I do not have the bootloader, I can still burn the firmware, but bootloader is not working when I try to burn it.

It's not possible, by design, to update the bootloader in field. What problem are you trying to fix?

You can burn the bootloader using a PICKit though.

Thanks!
