BlueBus: A fully integrated A2DP Bluetooth solution

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

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.

Hey guys,

Some announcements:

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

If you ordered from ECS Tuning before August 31st, your unit will ship Tuesday.

If you ordered from me before August 28th, your order will ship sometime next week, towards the beginning of the week.

Thanks!

Ordered mine June 1st. ECS has it shipping Nov.19th. Have no doubt it’d be worth it.

Anybody here who has the bluebus looking to sell it? Long shot but thought I'd put it out there. DM if you do!

Hi everyone, long time since I last posted...

I updated my Bluebus from version 1.1.17 to 1.1.18 on Sunday. Since then I've had the same issue twice: I hop in the car, the Bluebus connects to my iPhone as usual and starts playing music. I set off, and after 2 or 3 minutes (the time it takes to leave the garage and stop at the first traffic light) the radio switches to FM and the Bluebus is no longer detected. OT blinkers are also gone.

I carry on driving and after another 3 or 4 minutes the Bluebus starts working again and all functionality is restored. Everything works fine for the rest of the trip.

It's only happened twice since Sunday. Otherwise it just works as it should. Afraid I couldn't get a log since I was driving at the time.

For reference, I drive a euro-spec '03 E46 Touring with an Alpine CD53 radio.

Weird -- Sounds like it has crashed and restarted. Did this correlate with anything happening, like a song change or a call coming in?

If you could, try to pull the trap counters via the terminals -- the command is: get err

Thanks!

Honestly I wasn't paying enough attention to guarantee 100% that nothing happened when it "crashed". Definitely not a call coming in, I don't think I'd activated the blinkers, and I'm pretty sure there was no song change.

As I said, the only notable thing is that it's happened twice, shortly after starting the car. Seems to be random too, it worked flawlessly on my way to work this morning and yet crashed on the way home this afternoon.

I'll try to pull the trap counters this weekend. Silly question: I can do this anytime, right? No need for the incident to have happened minutes before?

Thanks!

Yeah, trap catches are stored on the EEPROM so you can pull them at any time, in or out of the vehicle.

Thanks!

ECS should be getting them early today. They usually do a good job of shipping them same day
