E39 - MID Display Fighting with TCU

Open tedlee1688 opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

After disconnecting the battery and the Bluebus to do some work on the car, the BlueBus is now conflicting with the bluetooth phone TCU that I have in the car. When I pull up the BlueBus on the MID (non-nav), it keeps switching back and forth between the TCU and the Bluebus, and commands to the BlueBus also get sent to the TCU. Any ideas? Should I try switching iBus connectors in the trunk?

The Bluetooth TCU and the BlueBus are not compatible with each other on the MID UI. The reason is that the BlueBus hijacks the Telephone UI to provide a stable interface. Let me take some time to re-evaluate the feasibility of stabilizing the UI without this "hack".

No worries I can live with it for now. Weird that it's doing it now though as I don't remember having this issue before I did the battery pull last month

My experience is very similar. When using the BlueBus MID UI, my NAV unit would jump out of the UI into NAV maps and or whatever part of NAV menu system I was in. I would not stay on the BlueBus UI menus

I don't believe you have a MID if you have the Navigation (the MID is the "Business CD" system for the E3x).

It sounds like you're not pinning the BlueBus menu to the screen using the radio overlay button -- try using this button to keep the menu active: Overlay

It sure would be cool if a hack could be found to place bluebus settings where they belong: on the main menu. That would eliminate this condition and make BlueBus integration more standardized IMO. There are definitely optional components that do this once they are installed: TV, DSP and Telephone menus which become available once associated modules are installed leap to mind here.
