BlueBus: A fully integrated A2DP Bluetooth solution

[AdamM3]

Ted,
I have a 02 e46 m3 and I don't believe I have the 54 pin connector for the TCU like in the wiki. I have two connectors a blue one and a black one. The blue one looks identical to the one in the e39 video that they plug your adapter cable into. So, i guess im confused or do you have instructions for how to de-pin this blue one or are these the wrong ones all together.

Adam,

The Blue connector pictured is the SES connector. Here are the pin arrangement from it to the BlueBus:

Pin 1 is the top row, lowest pin (closets to the 6 Pin Audio)
Pin 4 is the bottom row, lowest pin (closets to the 6 Pin Audio) right under pin 1
BlueBus 1 - Mute - SES 22
BlueBus 2 - Mic Neg - SES 8
BlueBus 3 - Spkr Neg - SES 12
BlueBus 4 - Tel ON - SES 18
BlueBus 5 - Mic Pos - SES 9
BlueBus 6 - Spkr Pos - SES 13

P.S. does the 6 pin connector going into the BlueBus have 3 or 5 wires in your car?

Thanks!
-Ted

Everyone else who has contacted me with a 'vert has had the SES connector

If anyone has a link to the pin out for the 26 pin TCU connector (Black), I would be most appreciative.

My TCU had a 54-pin connector?

My TCU had a 54-pin connector?

They all did after 03/2002

Before that, there was the black 26 pin connector pictured in AdamM3's post

[AdamM3]

Ted,
It has 3 wires

Didn't realize there was something in between the DB25 and the 54-pin connectors.

Me either! It hit me by surprise when I started shipping units. Thankfully, the 26 pin TCU connector is almost always accompanied by the SES connector, for which I have an adapter.

What's the lead time look like from the bottom of the list? Not in any rush but just curious.

I can’t wait to receive mine and install it. Thanks Ted for doing this

It depends -- I ended up sorting by who had been waiting longest and paid quickest, so order number isn't always relevant. PM me or post your Email address and I can give you a good idea.

Hope it makes it to Bahrain soon!

I put my name and email in literally yesterday so I'm guessing I'm last in line. No problem waiting for others to get theirs first, just curious about lead times.

Can't wait to get mine 😁😁

Ah, yes, there are 900+ people ahead of you in that case :x

Can't wait to start shipping international orders! I'm just waiting on the proper cases right now

Damn, 900! How long do you expect that orders placed now would take? Ballpark, but is that 3 months, 6 months, 1 year? I'm in once life goes back to normal 😀
