I wouldn't worry too much, the car is very reslient...
I had a short on a circuit for the ibus lines, and it was fine. I took it off right away though.
I even once put the battery terminals the wrong way around once, after checking it 3 times... I don't knwo what happened to me, I think I took too much medicine or something. Anyway, I got off lightly with only the FM antenna amplifier blowing up.

chatted with mitch
Had a chat with mitchjs last night, basically asking him if it was worth going down the path of decoding the I2C bus to perhaps eliminate the need for the ibus/usb converter, and having a I2C/USB direct interface. He thought the cost wouldn't be much less and that the path we are currently following will be the easiest.

Yeah he PMd me last night. I think that we are good the way we have done it
1. We have a stable interface
2. Its has Roadrunner support
3. Its possible that we might be able to add other devices on later

Is there any test software out there that i can use to send the strings to the ibus com port?
I wanted to find that BMW Ibus radio test software but i cannot find it. what data needs to be sent to the com port. do i send the actual command strings echoed to the com port?
Im no porgrammer so im gonna need some help from the experts out there. I finally got the com port set to 4 so ibusrr should find it now.

yeah you can use
WinIBus or IBusAnaluser
Plug in the ibus interface to your PC
Then send ibus commands, they will go out the PC Tx line and appear on the PC Rx line

that's the old ibus analyser that I told you about in pm. I can get it for you when I get my pc out of storage again, but lots of searching will also reveal it, I'm sure!
