Mine connects straight to the Avin harness, they made provisions when designing the E53 harness. Comes up immediately as soon as the iBus app launches. It has to send the signal to the DSP to operate so wait time is basically 2-3 seconds from key on.

One thing I have to admit surprised me was this morning when I got in the car and expecting to set the correct time, the clock in the Avin was already set to the correct time and then toggled the OBC stalk to look at the time in the OBC and it was correct too. Had to be the iBus app sending the messages over to the OBC. Nice!

After sending an email to the ibus chaps I had a reply or two from them. Sadly the responses weren’t quite as helpful as hoped and there was a suggestion of having to program the display for external something or other. Being the inquisitive type I kept plugging away by messing with stuff. It turns out there is an extra menu accessed from the ibus screen on the top left via a 3 or 4 line menu looking thing. I thought it was stereo but it seems it’s actually for the ibus. There are a bunch of settings in there which are extra to the anything else you get to through paths. One of those is the display of obc info. Hurrah. This allowed me to set the actual info I wanted. So I now have time, date (the correct way for NZ), consumption as km/l and the numbers are even displayed correctly. I put this down to it being an android based system which experience tells me is pretty haphazard with the coding and things are never where you expect them to be. Also have had a couple of freezes where power off and on fixes but still annoying.

Hey PropellerHead, did you ever resolve your issue with where to locate your IBUS adapter? I'm in the same boat that you were, and have been having issues with finding where to tap into the IBUS connection without having to extend the IBUS wire all the way back to the trunk from the head unit as Resler suggests is the only good way to do it. I'm currently tapped into the LCM, but have been experiencing issues with it tapped there as well, so I'm trying to weed out offending IBUS devices that aren't communicating correctly.

This is the page that is posted from the Resler site. I followed the instructions and it comes out super clean and works fantastic. Good luck!

I just downloaded iBus 2.1.4.2 and was wondering if anyone can fill me in on the changes/updates on that version????

I'll be installing it tonight, just wanted to get any insight on what to expect.

Thanks,

Mike

Being completely new to IBus, I can't say that I saw any improvement or change in the UI. I do know that it still won't load for me on start up.....does that help?

I installed my interface behind the radio in the dash. Mine interfaces with the cabling for the old display.

Just finished installing 2.1.4.2 into my E53.

About the only noticeable difference that I caught in the first boot up is that the maximum fuel level has gone from 21 gallons to 22 gallons. A good move but wish they could get it to the full capacity of 24 gallons.

Even setting the maximum fuel capacity in "Settings" to 25 or 24 did not move the maximum from 22 gallons. This is with a completely topped off fuel tank.

Still a really phenomenal/essential app for those with an Android head unit upgrade.
