It will intercept messages meant for the CD changer and only forward messages when the CD changer is selected. This project will go in between the radio head unit and the CD changer. I'm working on a little project to interface to the I-BUS in my E46. I've built a project using a RPi and one of Resler's USB IBUS interfaces which works nicely in essence, but the boot times of the RPi are making it unusable for some of the functions I had planned for it.īMW I-BUS Project.
