I don't think the 2 are the same. Dice electronic is in Lake Tahoe, NV and the fellow member is in LA, CA.

and yes you can send commands, using the ibuscomm s/w

I just joined the group.. i will compile the data needed..

Once i can identify all the buttons per the Dice manual and get the needed ibus codes i will purchase the unit and go to town.
At this rate it will cost me $250 bux shipped, but for HD radio and good stable radio i will do it. After all i can sell my HQCT to make up for it

cool. let me know if you need any ibus help

I am to assume that we need to initialize the unit by sending the Polling code for CD changer: 68 03 18 01 72

and having it wait for response: 18 04 68 02 00 76.

Here are the buttons from the Manual of the HD tuner:


Mode: Press C0 06 68 31 00 00 0B 94 / Release C0 06 68 01 00 13 4B C7

If anyone wants to chime in: These are based on the E46 but this is said to work on ALL BMW models using Ibus so i assume any vehicle code will work.

I have found the codes from the E46 monitor which may work also..

if you download ibuscomm (variations of which are avail here on the forum), then you can check the ini file. I think it has all of these therein.

Ok i found 2.0 i was looking at the 1.0 ini and it didnt have much.. I found them now..

this is very interesting..

Got an email from reslers.de seller. He said that there should be no issue communicating.

3 wires will be used

1. 12v with a 1k resistor
2. IBUS data
3. Gnd

Since there is no existing "car" wiring we need to add the 12v and gnd.

Hmm so if this works then we can pretty much use any ibus BMW shardware...

XM? Sirius? CD changer? Valentine 1 hack? what else!!!

I will be placing the order for the Ibus usb unit this saturday for testing on an actual bmw... then once i can confirm the coding works i will order the radio.
