Top work as I said before. This could be something stuart Truman would be interested in if there are no limits to the music catalogue.

Does the audio have to be sent over 3.5mm jack or could you send this another way?
The only reason I ask is because the sound quality of the jack is no where near as good as a CD and I believe this has something to do with it being an analogue signal through the aux instead of a digital one that the CD changer uses?

Any more updates on this?sk93 wrote:Quick youtube of where I'm at at the mo
Absolutely fascinated by it so far!
How much more difficult would you imagine this would be to implement with the nav screen?

Wow just seen this thread... Thats amazing
I had a carputer years ago in my old golf, wasnt flawless but i loved tinkering with it.
I have a pi, which i hooked up to my tv for airplay and xbmc, bit you have taken it to another level.
You dont happen to be a software developer by any chance?!
Makes my intravee seem rather pathetic now

@SK93, Wow, I've just seen this thread & read it right through, I cant pretend that I understood it all but I got the gist.
I've recently purchased a Dension as I don't have the know-how to do anything like what you have achieved but it was nice to read about the iBus & to appreciate how these aftermarket devices create their own traffic onto the bus to make things work in ways unimaginable.
Top work & keep it up.

(PS, did you ever replicate the functionality of the gaptech module that you mentioned earlier?)

In regards to the GapTech, I'm close.
I can get the roof to open and close now, but it's not perfect as it "steps" and I haven't found the right message to indicate its closed or opened yet.
I'm pretty much waiting for the warmer weather now tho

How's all this coming sk93? I've been playing around with different ideas on how to add cameras to my car with an usb input controled over the ibus and desided to do a search for raspberry pi on the forum when I found this thread.
Sounds like you've done some amazing work here.

Any more info on this?? I like the idea of using the RiPi.
I have just finished my simple AUX ipod interface (so I can keep my cd changer), I'm using the arduino nano.
I can Play, pause, stop, next track, prev track, next play-list, prev play-list, next album, prev album, shuffle and repeat, all from the controls and MFSW, I'm using mode 2 on the ipod/iphone so I can still use the wheel/buttons etc.

HOWTO: DIY IBus iDevice dock - including MFSW + track info
This is quite a project. Do you have any video/how-to write-up of the project? Like parts and connections? I'm trying to do a similar project for my Z4-2004 (MK4 Business with Navigation - USA) but no idea about iBus programming. Your post is very inspiring. Would love to learn and do this in my car.
