Ok all, so I see Ted has sent out a bunch of BlueBus units...any e53 owners installed one yet with a non-nav system? I'm joining to hear the reviews.

Any reviews of any kind would be welcome :)

Well, I am one of those people you are looking for. After some struggles with me finding and installing the right connections on my car, and than getting it to do everything but have sound, it is up and running and working flawlessly!! I do love it and feel like my 15 yr old E53 is just like a current modern car! As far as not working initially, Ted was amazing and helped me diagnose that my MID was coded for using DSP and I had to buy a small cable to connect the BB to my DSP connection on my amp. Ted updated the software remotely for me and couldn't have been more accommodating. I havn't given him the feedback yet, but to use a non NAV/MID unit with the BB needs some tutorials. There is a guy named Ryan who seems to have partnered with Ted. He has an M5 page on youtube. He has done a video on how to make everything work on a E46 non nav radio. So, after some minor teething issues, I love the thing. Still waiting on my cable to connect for the phone. Ted says that is coming in the next couple of weeks. Given the current world situation, not sure if Ted will be making more of these, but if so, I would highly recommend getting one.

Thanks, Dave! For clarity: The radio in Dave's car was coded to use the Digital Input on the DSP, even though the car had an analog 6 pin audio connector for CD Changer audio. The DSP Coaxial cable was purchased in order to make use of the interface because it does offer higher audio fidelity, and the radio was already wanting to use it, so might as well!

I'll make a MID tutorial at some point. I find the MID UI to be far more intuitive than the E46 Business Radio where I fumble around with it and I'm the guy who came up with it!

P.S. I'm taking orders again :D

You do realize this is a thread for the BlueBus Integrated Bluetooth interface?

Your post is very much off topic in this thread. Maybe start your own thread. :dunno:

It does'nt ship till june ?

That's correct. Manufacturing lead time is 40 days.

Being that this is not my full time job, and I'm not even incorporated, this is the way it has to work for now, until I get enough capital and interest to justify keeping them in stock.

Thanks!

Hey hey!! My BlueBus arrived today, may have actually been here longer I just happened to notice that my mailman had folded it up origami style and wedged it into the back of my mail box when I just grabbed the mail... Package open and everything is happy and healthy and appears to be in fine condition though so no worries there.

Now all I have to do is get in to the garage and start the installation! That may happen today \ tonight or it may wait until Wednesday when my wife is out of the house (so that I have some peace a quiet - and WAAAYY less "help" :rofl:)...

Either way, I will keep you all posted as I go :thumbup:

I can tell you that as far as "looks", you don't see it! It is the size of a pack of cigarettes(remember those??!!) and sits in the back by all of your audio equipment.
And it works flawlessly. There have been a few bugs that Ted has immediately jumped on resolving. The set up is a little different whether you have a MID or Nav, but still fairly easy. I am waiting for the cable to use the Bluebus for my phone communication instead of the marginal factory set up. Currently my talk to text does not work well and I am hoping that once the BB cable shows up it will be better.

Yes I know that the Hardware is just a small box which will be hidden in the back audio compartment of the car.

I meant I wonder how the "looks" of the GUI on the 16:9 navscreen will look like. I've seen the official seller videos but I haven't seen a user review with the bluebus device in a e53 X5 until now.
