Only the Steering wheel controls can control the PC the way CDR has done it.

But if the Headunit can send out codes for different button presses it will/would be possible for those to be intercepted and acted upon.

I'm starting to get used to the broken English of the Europeans (guess I get a bit more practice as I work for a Swedish Company) and some of the American citizens.

Thanks for posting this, CDR. I have my carpc back from haiatus and am trying out RR; My old ibus app never really worked properly, so I'm glad you were able to make Franck Touanen's so flexible. He had told me of it, but I had never used it. I'll be trying this out in a minute, but I expect it will work without any tweaking

Edit: Well If I could get my ibus interface stuck off of com12 it probably would work; haha.. Anyway, though, it does not seem to work with suspend (and maybe hibernate as well) -- I think the app needs to close the port before suspend and reopen it afterwards.

CDRSkull: Did you have to modify the ibuscomm source code to make this work with RR? If so, do you have it posted somewhere that I can look at it to try to make it work w/ suspend/hibernate? Thanks

did anyone ever find a way to get this to work with hibernation? I have

'd like crazy!

The proper way to make it work is to close the serial port when the computer is about to enter hibernate and reopen it when the system resumes. I could do it, but I think the source may have been modified from the original to work with RR, so I was waiting to hear from CdRsKuLL on this point before I started into it.

I've been using this fine for hibernation.. no probs at all.. Gork r u going to the serial port or using a usb convertor ? I had to modify his files yeah.. I think I still have the source files for it, but as for hibernation its not been a problem

Yes; I can hibernate fine when the I-Bus is connected directly to a serial port, but the software needs the PM notifications when it's connected via a USB dongle... If you can dig up the source code, I'll try to get the modification done. Thanks!

CDR, Got a few questions for you... I have a BMW E34, I retrofitted the E46 M3 steering wheel in. The steering wheel itself is an I-bus controller, but what's required to get the buttons to work? As I said, I have an E34, which has no interface to the steering wheel... any guidance appreciated.

Gork, Did you get the source? are you working on this? I really really want it

I hate having to restart the ibus app every time i boot.

gork · 05-24-2005, 02:26 PM

Not yet sorry. I will PM CDR about it just in case..

CdRsKuLL · 05-24-2005, 05:20 PM

its not on my current system atm.. I will pull the drive out of the system I will be selling soon and do a search.. if I cant find it.. it wont take me long to bang another one together..

will get back to you tomorrow.. getting late here !

What do you mean ? I have 4 USB devices plugged in the car, 3 of which are pllugged into a usb HUB, I can hibernate and resume without any issues.. so what kind of dongle are you talking about ?
