Hi all,
First time post so here goes...
I'm looking at developing a little black box that will translate the button presses on my BMW 3 series (might work for 5 series as well...) and use these to move up and down and make calls from the Speed Dial list.
I'm trying to replicate the operation of the XDA2 's physical buttons. Namely Pressing the Green call key takes you to the phone app. Then using the up and down buttons on the four way then takes to to the speed dial list and then move up and down it. Then the Green call button calls that number. Finally Red to hang up. Also green to answer a call.
My question is: Is it possible to send serial codes to the XDA2 through the serial pins on the connector to mimick the actions of the physical buttons??? Alternatively I could write a new phone app that listens for serial codes and does the same but if it is possible to mimick the buttons life would be a lot simplier... and would not require extra software to be loaded.
Cheers for your help all...
