Hope to here from you
BTW which 3 serie do you have working with the Ibusinterface?

My best regards

Hi,
No, have a similar setup using a Gigabyte D510 MB, 2G ram and XP SP3 myself.

Issue you have is most likely you only have rear PDC. All cars using my plugin have both front and rear PDC, you're the first I'm aware of that only have rear.
I have no access to a E46 so I can't test myself either, sorry.

If anybody using the PDC/plugin with E46 and/or rear only.
Pls let me know if it works for you or not.

Hi Janne,
Thanks for the reply. I'm happy to hear that it isn't mine installation:d!! Than I have another question i'm using the RRPDC plugin and I saw that SBOSS is also using the Ibuscommunicator to recieve info from the IBus.... he is recieving the distance in cm and also the green, yellow and red sliders are acting on the recieved info. If I turn on the pdcskin... the distance in cm is scrolling but the sliders do not appeare at all.... could you tell me what could be the problem....Do I have to use the RRPDC plugin or could I just use the IbuscommunicatoRR plugin
Mine PDC.ini is this:

Hi Nickyboy,
You can use IBusCommunicatoRR issue are somewhere in your skin.
Best tip I can give is to double check all settings and start by checkin that the slider style pictures are in the right place.

Hi Janne,

Do you know if it's possible to intergrate the PDC values into the IbusRR plugin? The reason I want to try this is because that plugin runs fine with my car. So I was hopen if you know a possibility... maybe what the Ibus codes are for the PDC values.

I hope to hear from you
My best regards

Hi Nick,
Better ask the developer of IbusRR for a final answer, but I can't see that happen.
Ibus codes from PDC unit changes with the values and are not fixed and IbusRR is limited to reed fixed Ibus codes from steering wheel only.

/Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for all the help so far!! Okay I understand that the possibility for IbusRR to run the PDC values is very low. Than I like to try IbusCommunicatoRR again. but I have a few questions: First can I turn off the automatically start of the PDC.skin? Seconds I have the info of a music song (artist and title) display in mine MENU.skin and this usually scrolls smoothly but when I use the IBusCommunicatoRR plugin.....it scrolls shortly stops and than scrolls again en stops again etc..... I think this has to do with the fact that IBusCommunicatoRR is trying to send the info to the IKE display.....how can I turn this off?
Basically I want to use a "stripped" version of the IBusCommunicatoRR just for the steering wheel controls, the PDC distance valuesand info like Range, Coolanttemp and outsidetemp is this possible to do this. So the IBusCommunicatoRR doesn't interfer in the smoothly run of mine RR skin.
Hope u understand what I am trying to do

Thanks
My best regards
Nick

Hi Jan

This is the same issue is was telling you about with the text in ride runner stoping and starting when sending text to the IKE.... any ideas?

Matt

Hi Nick,

First can I turn off the automatically start of the PDC.skin?

Nope not today, I can add a settings in the .ini to to just that.
A quick fix is to rename skin to something else, like xyz.skin

send the info to the IKE display.....how can I turn this off?

DisplayEnable=False in .ini file

Basically I want to use a "stripped" version of the IBusCommunicatoRR just for the steering wheel controls, the PDC distance valuesand info like Range, Coolanttemp and outsidetemp is this possible to do this.

Yes, just comment out the sections not needed in the .ini (Semicolon in front of ID -> ;[ID=xx])
or just delete everything not used.

Hi Matt,
Hmm strange, it's nothing in the "IKE Display" routine that could cause this.
Only thing I can think of is high CPU usage and that could very well be the plugin. I will take a closer look at it during weekend.
Have you checked your CPU usage when this happen?
