Yes, I had seen that they don't recommend connecting to the X18801, but I emailed them and there doesn't seem to be another way to connect. I bought a generic Android headunit, because I'm probably selling the car later this year. There isn't a way to connect the iBus USB modules 3 wires to my headunit directly or with an adapter.


It's working so far at the moment. The iBus app picks up the information and displays it on screen, and more importantly it powers on the DSP amp so I now have sound, woohoo.


I now need to find a way, or launcher, of showing my album art when I stream music over bluetooth from my mobile to the headunit.
