What did you want to do with the iBus ?

• jbarberu 5y ago
  I had a 2003 530i, which didn't have aux in, nor bluetooth. My use of the iBus was to emulate the CD changer in the trunk (basically just a heartbeat every 7s or so) which allowed me to use that line-in. I also picked up button presses on the bus in order to respond and control audio playback. Tied it all together by using a raspberry pi as a bluetooth sink and command hub between connected phone and the iBus.

    That's really cool man! "Working on cars" is way different than it was in Grandpas day, but it's nice to know there are still people hacking together cool stuff.

      To be fair, that car saw quite a few instances of the other type of "working on the car" too. I have 58 entries in my work log from two years of ownership...
