BlueBus: A fully integrated A2DP Bluetooth solution

[t3ddftw]

Yes that's all Android Auto and Carplay are. Essentially a dumb screen mirror - all the heavy lifting is done on the phone. Presumably you're using a Carlinkit dongle for Carplay but what about Android Auto to emulate the Android Auto "interface" to the phone?

I am using a CarlinKit, but the device also does Android Auto out of the box, so I don't need to implement anything extra

No, the goal for now is to only use the Raspberry Pi video stream to display the CarPlay / AA UI. The UI will by and large still be run by the factory Navi / Video Module.

Overtime, it'll make sense to replace the GT UI with a more advanced replica, but it'll be fully custom.

Thanks!

Is it based around OpenAuto Pro or are you developing the Android Auto yourself? Because that would be a pretty big job still. I'm looking to DIY something like this

Hey t3ddftw, any exclusive sneak peak m3forum progress updates on your carplay integration solution?

I haven't made much progress as of late. I am working on the full prototype and I ran into some snags, like a lack of MCLK from the Raspberry Pi.

We've (it's a joint venture with a fellow from outside the BMW community) also been reworking the software using a more robust and performant programming language called "Rust", and that has also been "fun".

Many thanks !
This is amazing how much difference there is with or without CVC from correspondant pov.

He can barely hear me without CVC, whereas with CVC it is loud and clear!

CVC does stand for "Clear Voice Capture"

To close the loop here, I provided the correct license via email

He can barely hear me or has a real loud echo without CVC, whereas with CVC it is loud and clear!

This is a CVC license issue, I disabled CVC with "bt cvc off" and then I had sound, mic works (very bad but it works)

I tried all licences from github, none works.

OK I may I found why CVC GUI tool does not work.

Looking at python code :

https://github.com/tedsalmon/BlueBus/blob/master/utility/gui_cvc_tool.py#L200

It search for 20FABB0

Whereas mine is actually 20FABB1

So I replaced the condition with my value...

Now I don't have error it terminal log anymore when I select serial port.
But my MAC ID is not valid for CVC :


The license you gave me was this one :

https://github.com/tedsalmon/BlueBus/blob/master/utility/gui_cvc_tool.py#L134

It may not be valid for my MAC ID actually ?
and while trying to manually set it from command line, I broke the genuine one there was in the bluebus...

[Orphee]

I just found this issue :

https://github.com/tedsalmon/BlueBus/issues/93

It seems I have the same kind of audio issue...
Maybe it happened when I tried to apply CVC licence manually from terminal command line and I actually broke cvc licence...

As the GUI tool does not work, how can I check cvc licence is applied and working ?

Edit : running "bt license cvc" from terminal gave the license you sent by mail, with the space like given

# [681948] DEBUG: BT: R: 'CVC=XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX' (with real values from mail)

[Orphee]

From ISTA TIS :







Edit even on Windows I can't apply cvc :

I must have damaged something on the car...
I don't know why I don't have call input audio anymore with genuine SES plugin as it used to work in my first tests before playing with wires...

Edit : It is not car but the bluebus...

I replugged genuine ULF bluetooth module with its SES jumper.
Call BT Audio and mic works with BMW ULF module.

So I probably damaged the bluebus with inverted pins on my first SES adapter build try...



Edit 2 : Neither my Windows laptop or my Ubuntu desktop are able to apply cvc with GUI tool, and neither of them can connect to flash firmware, it seems to reboot to bootloader and green led blinks... but not responding then...

Only screen / putty works for terminal log access.

[Orphee]

I have bt audio streaming working fine, I have music.

Issue only occurs in call.

Mic set to -23 yes.


Yesterday, before I played with rewiring, with SES jumper connected to SES connector (without any depin mod) , I had call audio working but no mic...
So like genuine, only 6 pin audio and 3 pin power connected to bluebus.

I don't know what I did...
Maybe a wrong terminal command while playing with terminal... ?


Today even if I plug everything like yesterday (genuine, no depin mod), no more call audio at all...

And when I plug the SES adapter I built to 6 pin bluebus, it does not work either ...

It used to work month ago before I sent back bluebus for repair with de-pin from SES connector to 6 depin connector...

I know I did a wrong wiring yesterday when I built my SES adapter...

I built it with pin 1 to 3 up, and 4 to 6 down, reversed form left to right...
Pin 1 and 3 was outside 6pins audio instead of near...

Did it damage something... Or is it only some miss programmation with terminal...
I only recall I sent cvc terminal command you gave me by mail...

I of course fixed my wirings and plugged back 1 and 3 to near 6-audio pin.

I also remind I had pin 19 from SES to 4 soldered instead of 18 at first...

Edit : when I make a call, the screen show "call" or sometime "voice assistant"

So it seems it detect the call...

When I hang up, the music starts again

[t3ddftw]

Thanks ! So in any case you have to depin or use an adapter linked to bluebus.

I probably damaged something on the car, I inverted some wires on the 6 depin...

I reppluged it all correctly but I don't have any call sound anymore...
No matter what...

I still have music, but even with ses jumper and nothing connected to the 6 depij bluebus, I don't have sound anymore...

I used to have at least remote correspondent voice working... But now nothing...
With it without the SES jumper and with our without home made SES to 6-depin connector...

So, to be clear, you have no inbound or outbound audio? This sounds more like a misconfiguration or license issue than anything…

Can you make sure the mic gain is set to -23dB?

Thanks!
