Thanks, guys!

Just FYI, here's where MID support is at right now :)

Hello!

I have good news and bad news.

The bad: Manufacturing is definitely going to be delayed, by at the very least three weeks. I'm having trouble getting a Sierra Wireless Distributor who will sell me just the cVc licence that I need (it clears up phone calls). They all want me to wait 8-16 weeks to get them to manufacture the unit with the license pre-installed on it, which makes no sense given the fact that I can buy the unit today and just install the license key myself.

The good: I'm using this time to integrate the unit to the car just like the factory TCU so that phone calls can be answered under any mode (radio off, FM/AM, etc).

Thanks!

VERY VERY cool given how expensive the OEM Bluetooth boxes are becoming, not to mention how dated they are. Very nice, keep us posted! You will sell a LOT....

Is the plan to have this work with both the Standard HiFi and DSP HiFi systems?

Chris,

That's correct. It should work with every audio system of the era -- Standard, HiFi, Digital DSP, and Analog DSP.

I came to the realization that many people prefer the stock ULF/Everest TCU over taking calls while in CD Changer mode, which is what compelled me to add the extra functionality. Hopefully those users will find the BlueBus functionality adequate -- calls will interrupt any radio source and the OE Microphone will be supported without additional hardware as I'm adding the circuitry to the BlueBus directly. Users who wish to use a non-OE microphone will have to remove a jumper from the PCB to remove the DC power from the line.

Thanks!

Thanks Ted, it sounds amazing. Now for the older cars that came with the older 25 pin connector, I know the 25 to 54 pin adapter is NLA. Your solution won't require either connector to be used in the car, correct? Just i-bus and audio connector from CD Changer?

What are your thoughts on integrating a USB connector for code updates? Perhaps you are way ahead of me :)

Chris
