Sorry for being AFK on this thread -- I stopped getting update emails for some reason...

Hey Ted, so when buyers receive their BlueBus, should they need to do software or firmware updates?
And If so, how?
Thanks in advance

There's a USB port on the side, as someone else mentioned :)

All pending orders are going out tomorrow or the day after, then I am going to begin sending out outstanding cases and adapters (which is much quicker / easier).


Thanks!

Once I get to playing with this a bit more and understand the options and how they work on the non-nav MID, I'mm post a video or write up a doc, after discussing with Ted, on how it works (unless someone knows of a source showing how to play with the options/buttons, already?) The E46 is no where the same so its not the best tutor.

Note, the audio quality is DISTURBINGLY GREAT for bluetooth.
I always played music sources that ARE HARD WIRED TO STEREOS BUT WOW

OK Ted, here goes. 2003 4.6is with factory nav, DSP, CD changer, no TCU or BT antenna and no BT oddment tray. So, I would like to get away from my junky BT aux unit I spliced in behind the head unit to the AUX cable and 12v. I would like to have full BT Music streaming as well as phone. Would love to be able to use the Face button to call up Siri (maybe a pipe dream but hey). What all will I need to order to make this work. It seems I need the BB module as well as an adapter cable for the phone portion and maybe a coax from CD to DSP...? Is that right? I'll check my CD changer to see if it's connected via coax or other.

Clockwork's UI is right dickered, for the record. I never tested on a DSP / MID combo, so I didn't know I couldn't write to the whole MID. Working on this...

Howdy!

For the 2003 you will want, but not need, the coaxial DSP cable. Your car will have the 6 pin analog, most likely.

Siri can be summoned using the talking head button with the BlueBus. You will want to have microphone, factory or not, to use the telephony features.

I really don't know the E53 well enough to tell you which TCU adapter you'll need for a 2003, but my guess is the blue 26 pin SES adapter. You want to look where this tells you:
