BlueBus: A fully integrated A2DP Bluetooth solution

[Sprp85]

Attempted to install the Bluebus yesterday while changing a few things in the back.

My car is 06 M3 with navi unit & TCU from the factory.

I found the two smaller pinned cables but couldn't really find the 54 pin cable; am I suppose to unplug it from the factory TCU itself and just connect it to BlueBus (I have the 54 pin adapter from BlueBus as well)? Am I allowed to remove the TCU entirely without losing any other functionality?

Thanks for that Ted, I brought up the tool and it stayed at working for a couple of minutes; Nonetheless, I put it back in the car; I can make calls and hear but they can't hear me.
I don't think I'm talking to mute but can't tell. Do you think the license get installed completely?

Shoot me an email, but do make sure that these settings are set:

Settings > Calling:
Mic Bias: On
Mic Gain: -23dB

Add me to the BlueBus crew. Works great, love it! Thanks again Ted for everything! 😎

Thanks for the support!

Up to date with oem look.

Looks good!

Ok. after much agitation, got the PK number from the sticker on the TCU and the oem telephony works; I thought I might have had a bad microphone, but it works.
I have both OEM & BlueBus paired with my cell and music and phone work separately. Any idea why the transmit with BlueBus isn't working?

Hi, I have an 05 e85; completed the install and music is great, but no telephony. When a call comes in or I try to dial out -- no sound. Not sure if I have my correct business cd settings.
Does anyone know the sequence of button use for this cd player to allow telephony?
Thanks
Chris

Chris,

It sounds like you're missing the clear voice capture license -- can you refer to this post? https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...016#post116016

Thanks!

Just wanted to say that I got mine last Friday and installed it. Been loving driving the car again all week now that I have the convenience of bluetooth again. Really makes the car feel modern!

for sale, bluebus 1.0

Just kidding

[t3ddftw]

Ok cool, I will try that, thanks!
And just to be sure, those 2 cables are not the digital audio cable right?

Nope. The E46 never got the DSP Amplifier, so there will never be a digital audio input on an E46.

Thanks!

I received mine! It doesn't fully work however. I own a E46 M3 that had the CD changer and phone unit.
I removed the CD changer and phone unit and connected the Bluebus. I didn't find a digital cable so I use the analogue.
I can play music through bluetooth, and when I make a call the car sees that. And if I get a call I can answer it in the car.
But the other side doesn't hear me and I don't hear them.
Could it be something in the wiring?

You're missing the Clear Voice Capture license. One of my provisioning laptops did not apply it correctly, unfortunately.

Fortunately, I have a tool for this: https://github.com/tedsalmon/BlueBus...-Voice-Capture

Follow that guide, and if it says "Working" for more than 30 seconds, just unplug it and take it back to the car (some users have reported that it sticks at "working").

Could it be your microphone?
