All,


Just a heads up -- https://t3ddftw.s3.us-east-2.amazona...bus_1_1_11.hex is the newest firmware. I recommend updating to it.


The following fixes were made from 1.1.9 and 1.1.10:

* Call volume doesn't cause music volume to go sky-high anymore

* Call volume is adjusted as the user adjusts the volume regularly so that the same audio level can be consistently achieved.

* BM24 users (EU) should now not have problems with the radio becoming unresponsive when using the unit with the BlueBus

* UI identification has been improved to prevent issues with the MKIII Nav units using the "older" (pre-version 40) UI

* Mini Cooper R53 users with Navigation can now summon the BlueBus menu using the "RND" button on the CD53.


The following features were added:

* Coolant temperature can now be added to the Navigation headers (Settings > UI > Temps)

Firmware update instructions can be found here: https://github.com/tedsalmon/BlueBus...rmware-Upgrade


Thanks!

Ted,

When will the telephone menu be active? I suppose you can use SIRI via the steering wheel button to initial calls via voice?


Thanks,
Al.

MID car?

I'll work on it soon. You may be able to summon her by long pressing the phone button on the head unit.

Ted:

Here's a good link to the location of the SES or DB25 on the E53. Thought you might find it handy as it's a tad more descriptive than the other. I'm stoked to get my Bluebus soon and give my E53 a nice tech upgrade. WOOHOO!

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:

Long press on the phone does activate Siri and is loud and clear through the unit.

Your links don't work for me, using either Safari or Chrome browsers.

Maybe update/redirect? Thanks, -Andy (aka "Uncle Joe")

Yaaaaaaaaaa :nanana:


My adapter arrived today and my BlueBus is installed!! Amazingly straight forward too, unplugged my TCU, popped in the BlueBus and within 5 minutes I was streaming bluetooth audio to my factor BMW Stereo :rofl:


My car unfortunately did not already have the Digital DSP cable in it so I am currently running on Analog, waiting on my Digital DSP cable to get here.


Crystalworks, you're using the digital dsp connection I'm guessing, did you listen to it both ways, digital and analog and if yes, was there a significant sound quality difference? The only thing that I really notice now is that my voice calls are extremely quiet (but I did update the firmware so I think all I need to do is turn that up).

The digital output sounds way and beyond better than the analog. You can switch back and fourth in real time and you will hear the difference.

On phone audio: you can adjust the volume while in a call and the BlueBus will "remember" how much higher you have it for calls and will issue the "volume up" commands to get back to that level. Once the call is over, it'll issue the "volume down" commands.

Thanks!

I'm going to have to read every page of the thread so I can document all the features, tips and tricks of these systems so I know what to expect when I get mine. Can't wait!!!
