Ted, is the Z4 same as CD53, or those are different tech?

It's a CD53 but it's made by Siemens rather than Alpine. There are definite software differences but it was built to the same specs as the Alpine CD53.

The same changes for the CD53 apply to it. There's no extra functionality that I can bring to the CD54, unfortunately.

I'm curious how the new firmware works with cd54?

Ted, any news on having the comfort unlock to open the hatch on the Z4 as well? It has been lingering for over a year now

No. One of the fellows that has contributed to the code side of the project is working on emulating the central unlock button for Comfort Lock/Unlock, and that will resolve it.

[/LIST]Yeeees. Super excited for the telephone volume offset feature lol

Thanks Ted!

I'm very interested for someone with a ZCP to test this, btw. I don't know how the radio is going to respond, since the MFL won't have announced itself on the bus before then.

My own ZCP has Navigation, so it's a moot feature :/

Firmware 1.1.18 is live: https://www.bluebus.dev/software

CD53

• Fix inability to set comfort locks
• Add comfort unlock
• Fix potential non-null terminated string when creating metadata
• Allow Bluetooth usage when vehicle is off but radio is manually turned on
• Add additional settings [Comfort Unlock, Telephone volume offset, Lower Volume on Reverse]
• Only show values when editing a setting
• Enhance verbiage of settings
• Emulate MFL to allow automatic volume scaling for calls for CD53 vehicles (to prevent calls from being too quiet)

Yeeees. Super excited for the telephone volume offset feature lol

Thanks Ted!

Hey Ted - can you provide an updated ETA for those of us who were in the October batch?

Still working on it. The next step is installing 1300 screws 🙃

I am literally sitting next to all of them right now as I program them, so they're gonna miss that. Two and half weeks give or take a few days is more realistic. Sorry!
