BlueBus: A fully integrated A2DP Bluetooth solution

Kavinsky! I'm another Bluebus owner and so happy with the product

I just installed it in my M3 CSL.

Since my car is not pre-wired for a CD-changer in the boot, I installed it behind the radio, putting the BlueBus module in the glovebox.

I am really happy with it.

Thanks again to Ted for his support and his patience.

Still trying to learn all the functions - like the turn signal tap mod and now I’m going to have to search a microphone option as my vehicle doesn’t seem to include one…

Just added but still learning how to navigate through all the menus on my business radio

For those of us using the carphonics carplay solution, I managed to work with Cursor to get the knob issue resolved on the 1.4.35 release. I can't upload .hex files but feel free to message me if you'd like it.

Just did the online update using my Mac to the latest Beta version and worked flawlessly. Thank you t3ddftw

The only thing is i cant see the Battery voltage option available for me to turn on. Any suggestions?

To close the loop here, the issue was that no light features were enabled, so the I/O status request message wasn't being sent, and battery voltage is read off the LSZ/LCM. I fixed this and it will be released with the next beta, although I need to make sure it doesn't start causing IHKA crashes again.

This is an awesome product. Definitely adding this to my newly acquired E46 M3.

Thanks!

I installed it the same way as you in the beginning but modified it to put it where the 6CD changer was.
The issue with where you mounted it is for updates it is a major PITA as you have to remove the carpet.
If you mount it where you have that tray, you just have to open the flap in the trunk, connect a USB cable, and update. Much more convenient.

I installed it the same way, but I plugged in a USB and fed it between the DVD and tray. Stashed the rest of the USB in the tray. For updates. Plugin, run the update then forget.

I like the TCU tray installation method; I would recommend a right angled USB Micro-B cable, or just install it with the USB port facing the front of the car, while in that tray

Did I read somewhere a CarPlay version will be released soon

Ted hinted something involving carplay on a social post. I don't think it's known exactly what it's supposed to be. However I think I speak for us all when I say we are all anxiously awaiting more info on that.

(Thank you Ted for blessing us all with the gift that is bluebus).

The hardware was done, but then Texas Instruments EOL'd the DIT4096, so I need to rework it. Some of the software is done as well. I am pushing to release a good stable BlueBus firmware with a ton of extra features and improvements before I move back to the CarPlay / Android Auto solution.
