Thread: iBusRR v2.0.5: 06/01/2008 BMW Doors/Windows/Lights control NEW RELEASE!!

OK, found out some info today. Try this for starters, and add your own findings to it:

Code:

3F 0C D0 0C 00 00 00 00 21 20 00 00 00 EE
TX LL RX MM DB1....................DB9 CS

Bit mapped
7... ...0 Bits

DB4
x1xx xxxx = side market left
1xxx xxxx = side market right


DB5
xxxx xxx1 = centre stop light
xxxx 1xxx = stop light left
xxx1 xxxx = stop light right
xx1x xxxx = indicator front left
x1xx xxxx = indicator front right


DB6
xxxx xx1x = low beam right
xxxx x1xx = low beam left
xxxx 1xxx = taillight left
xxx1 xxxx = high & low beam left, alternating
xx1x xxxx = high & low beam right, alternating

If only I had an E46 I could test these further. In an hours work, you'd have all lights documented.

Here is an E46 changing that just changed km to miles:
3B 07 80 15 F1 70 10 00 38
GT --> IKE : Country coding status: Ntwk=E46 Lang=GB_English Clock=24h OutTemp=°C AvgSpd=mph Limit=mls Dist=mls ArrTime=12h Motor=Petrol

So it uses the same country coding status, but the GT sends the info to the IKE

Note that the full country coding is sent: all 4 x data bytes

You should adapt your coding to reflect the real life message

Thanks NavCoder I will change my message accordingly. data portion ( F2 F3 10 00 )

No clue about DB3?

I'll see what my e46 reports before making changes.....

I learnt the following yesterday through discussion with an E46 owner in South Africa.

DB3:
bits 0...3 control the units for the consumption values
0000 0000 l/100 km 0x00
0000 0101 mpg 0x05
0000 1111 km/l 0x0F
I think this is 2 x different unit values: one for Cons1 and one for Cons2
but nav applies same settings to Consumpt1 and Consumpt2
eg:
xxxx xx00 Consumpt.1 L/100
xxxx xx01 Consumpt.1 MPG
xxxx xx11 Consumpt.1 KM/L
xxxx 00xx Consumpt.2 L/100
xxxx 01xx Consumpt.2 MPG
xxxx 11xx Consumpt.2 KM/L

I don't know which bits are consumption 1 and consumption 2 - some try and see would reveal this.

Thanks

If you mean NavCoder please note that v2.4.0 is the current release version

I’m planning to install RR w/ iBusRR / iGoBMW, but looks like it won’t work in the way I want. I have CIB adapter (http://car-modules.info/shop/product...rface-Box.html) which is connecting between navigation and video module, but no through the video AUX. In order to make CIB switching (intercepting) video source (Nav/InputRGB) RTS7 should be high for RGB input and low for standard Nav screen. I’m thinking to keep CD player and use Tape Input (w/ PreAmp). How can I make iBusRR to watch for Tape Mode On/Off and switch video source accordingly?

My Vehichle is: BMW 540i 2001, MK-III/DSP

I’m new to RR, but what I see is really impressive. Lights Sequence video made me smile wide, it is quite fascinating. I have some questions and suggestions:

1. Where I can get the whole list of variables like $COOLANTTEMP$ ?

2. How do you shutting down your CarPC? Manually? Or Automatic? I have seen iBusInactiveTimeout or something in CarX, where after you have locked you car system is listening for iBus and when inactiveness timeout criteria is met CarPC is performing action like Shutdown or Suspend. Is it possible with iBusRR?

3. Is it possible to make a trigger (send command to front end) on event of locking a vehicle? This can be very useful for running kind a batch/script to perform including PC shutdown or whatever else…

4. Is it possible to fold/unfold mirrors on E39/E38 through iBus? F.e. it can be included in the actions performing under shutdown script/batch…

5. Did anyone tried to make analogue plug-in like iBusRR, but for OBD-II using adapter such as ElmScan (http://www.scantool.net/)? I suppose this is a reasonable option in addition to iBusRR (and separately for other non-BMW vehicles) Using OBD-II we can get much more parameters (besides Coolant Temp, Speed, RPM and etc…) such as Engine Intake Temp, MAF, Catalytic Converters Status, Fuel Input Level/Pressure, Absolute and Calculated Load Value, Misfire Monitoring, Throttle Position, Spark Advance and many others. Also it will be good feature to read stored trouble codes and display them to alert driver (provide mini diagnostic on the run). Any suggestions, plans?

Looking forward for your soonest response....
