The cases look GREAT. Not bad for 3D printed, right? :)



I wish M3Forum were up so I could link you to the feedback posted by the beta users.

If your car has the DSP, and you use the digital input, then I'm confident in saying that NOTHING else will sound as good.

If you have the six pin connector for analog input, then I'm still really confident that nothing else will sound better, but not as categorically as with the digital input :)

Thanks!

I have a 2006 stock factory Nav with DSP. I really don't know if I have the 6 pin digital connector or not. Whatever comes with this model. The factory sound systems are awful with DSP or no DSP. For now I'm wanting to keep my system stock but would like to ditch the ancient CD changer. I can't believe these also have a cassette player. Just wow. BMW didn't want to update the MKIV and Nav head unit with only a couple production years left on the E39, E46, E53 etc but good lord, a cassette player in a 2006!! :rofl:

You should use the single DSP cable that goes from cd changer to amp and instead reroute the DSP cable from Amp to BlueBus

Hey Ted, first thing... How are you and the family doing? Staying safe I hope.
Secondly, how happy are you with the quality of builds, from manufacturers?
Thirdly, any more going out the door soon :) ?

Hey man!

We're all doing well, thankfully. I have always worked from home, and my wife is a stay at home Mom, so it's pretty much business as usual around these parts. How are you are and yours?

The quality of the cases from 3DHubs is pretty damn good. I'm happy with it and have okay'd their manufacture.

I've shipped over 120 units at this point, but none were to international users as I do not want to send multiple shipments overseas due to cost. I should start getting cases, 100 at a time, this week or early next. Shipments will likely be once a week on those cases.

Thanks!

That is awesome news, very glad the new manufacturer has stepped up and delivered a solid product for you (and us) :D


I liked the "business as usual", where as I'm used to working from home, from a trailer, heck, from a table in a field, my wife has always been an "office employee" and she's going stir crazy, where I'm just keeping myself busy in the garage, yard and around the house with crap that just needed done.


I told her and my three kids, this is life handing us lemons, it's time to make lots of lemonade!


Glad to hear all is healthy and happy at your place!! (And really looking forward to my BlueBus) :thumbup:

Glad you guys are doing well! Hopefully the wife adjusts well to hermit life soon :)

I kind of wish I had the time to myself, rather than being able to work still. I have so many things to do around the house and with the BlueBus!

Ted, just sent you an email. Can't connect my unit, for reasons that are my fault I am sure. But posting here for others that may run into same issue. I do not have CD changer in the rear. IT looks like I only have the amp and the factory bluetooth unit. And also, business radio/cd player. Attaching some pictures for clarity. I did find a small connector that when connected to the BB it turned the LED on, than it went off. Please advise. Thank you.

Dave,

As mentioned in the email, the 6 pin closest to your middle finger in the first image should be plugged into the BlueBus (audio).

The reason the LED on the BlueBus went out is because there was no activity in the vehicle for more than 60 seconds. Touching any door handle, or button on the keyfob will bring the BlueBus back online.

Thanks!
-Ted
