[Discussion] [Unofficial] BMW I-Bus App

[Gunfiyld]

I think the Eonon and Xtrons 6m harness is the same, so the Ibus connections should be the same at the head unit too. If you look at the pictures in the last link in my last post, It's the 2 quadlock connector with 4 wires. Though I would make sure before connecting your Resler.

With the Eonon harness there is no Quadlock at harness' end where it connects to the radio. There is only the black connector that connects to the radio and the antenna cable. Haven't found any info if some of the wires for the black radio connector are i-bus line's that could connect to. Obviusly I could wire the i-bus line from the trunk, but would not want to strip all the door sill etc again.

@blue_racer Thanks, I already managed to find the correct setting with a help of an another user.

Well, this was not a recommended elongation :-(

To connect the Resler Module/Resler Interface please:
- use powersupply from elongation (battery and ground - not only ignition!)
- use I-BUS wire from old MID or bordmonitor plug [do not use power supply from there - this may cause troubles!)

Hi, sounds like there was a wrong central lock telegram set. Please open I-BUS app settings => central lock => central lock telegram and try another one fitting to your car e.g. E39.

I reinstalled the latest apk this afternoon. The wiper issue is no longer an issue. Why? Who the hell knows! Anyway, I uninstalled it and reinstalled and the wiper issue seems to be a mystery. I ran TIS/DIS and ran diagnostics on the wiper stalks and ZKE and found no DTC's. Another mystery cleared but not solved.

My new issue is simply a setting issue I think. I have what I believe are the correct tick boxes ticked to activate PDC. However the app doesn't always go to the PDC screen when in reverse or when the PDC button is pressed. When it fails, switching off the car, opening the door, closing the door and locking the car followed by the reverse cures it. Is this a setting issue?

A suggestion if I may. There is a minor omission for Low OBC owners. High OBC gets a wide setting with the car image in the middle. Why not Low OBC?

Another question, whilst I am here. I have never updated the Reisler adapter since buying it a good few years ago. Should I?

Many Thanks

Hi, maybe there have only been a wrong telegram set and due the deinstall you've erased it.

For PDC: did you check both options: PDC screen switch AND switch to foreground - or PDC screen switch plus PDC popup?

For the design you may choose "high bc wide" too with low BC, just hide the values you may not get from low bc like consumption.

For the old black Resler interface: there is no update for it. Only the new orange Resler Module got a firmware which may be updated.

Thanks for the tip. It should be easy enough to connect just the 12V and ground wire to the radio's harness.

Hi All,

Today I was able to repeatedly demonstrate the wipers issues in my E39/M54/B30 LoBC. I reinstalled I-Bus a couple of days ago and was able to capture my previous observation on my phone. Any ideas? Thank you

@blue_racer
This is strange.

I have been using the Xtronx PX5 (PB7839BP) on my BMW e39 with great success for several years.
I have been using HAL9K mod v4.2.1 - Android 9 for a very long time
No problems - everything was working fine
Additionally, I use the IBUS app https://www.ibus-app.de with the 'old' Resler adapter

I wanted Android 10 and be up-to-date

Without any problems, of course, with the help of Modinstaler Pro 2 from Hal9K, the latest version of Android 10 with Mod v5.0.2 has arrived.

My requirements are very simple to operate:
(I like it when I start and I don't have to touch the radio at all - full automat mode ;-)

• Start from sleep
• Start IBUS app
• Start Yanosik app (and go background, only floating icon on the screen)
• Start Spotify app (play music, go background
• Start Viper driver (tuning the sound)
• go back to ibus app to main screen

While everything worked on Android 9, now I have 2 problems:

1) The problem with the 'autostart the apps'
It seems to me that everything is set up correctly and somehow sometimes only ibuss starts - other applications do not start automatically. Interestingly, both in MOD v5 and in the ibus itself, there are similar options for the start type of many subsequent applications. Should I bet on ibus or on it with MOD?

2) I also have a problem with voice notifications.
- While the music is playing via spotify, I can't hear notifications from goolge maps or from the Yanosik app (notifications about road problems).
- When I enter the Google maps options and play the test sound - you can hear that the sound is slightly quieter, but you cannot hear the voiceover with the message.
- When spotify is not playing (application is off or only music paused) - maps and yanosik work OK (you can hear voice notifications)
- When RADIO is playing - maps and yanosik also work OK
I am convinced that this is some software problem with the settings

Can someone knowledgeable give me a hint?

Is this a good category? or should I post to "[ROM] [PX5] [PX6] [PX30] [Q] [10] Hal9k Mod v5 for MTCx / HCTx head units with Android 10/9/8/6"
Thanks

This would be best to post in the Hal9k v5 ROM thread, as these issues are related to the ROM and not the I-Bus App.
The only bit I could recommend for you is to check and make sure you have updated the ROM to v5.0.2, as I know it had addressed some issues. But you do have to pay a one time fee for the updates for the ROM.

Ok
I put the post in another threat.
I have pay version. I am 100% up to date.

Not sure I understand right: after update I-BUS app still start automatic every time or only sometimes?
Further if I-BUS app starts we may start 2 apps by I-BUS app.. but there are 3 in your list.
So my idea was to use iDrive Launcher https://idrive.ibus-app.de who was able to start more apps with it.

This was a strange problem he had reported to you all before, but now he is able to reliably repeat the issue.

My online idea was to check the "central lock telegram" in central lock settings of I-BUS app. There are two types for E39, please try the other one.

Plase check my short film

New video by Patryk Biernacki

photos.app.goo.gl

and look @4sec - ibus won't start automat after sleep only "flash" ..... and nothing.
Watch the entire movie and you can see how I run the ibus app manually and then start up the next (2) applications (automatically)

Looks as if I may see I-BUS app logo for a short moment at start, but seems not to start.
Which unit with which MCU are you using?
(How to check this?)
If you start the app manually, we start those 2 apps, as I guess!? Means this do work properly?

MCU MTCE_GS_V3.73
Unit: PB7839BP
And yes... If I start manually ibus app, it starts ok and opens the other 2 apps I want automatically. (like on the film)

I am clearly doing something wrong. Can someone please explain to me how to remove the track data. I do not want any reference to radio, poweramp, etc etc on i-BUS but try as I might I cannot shift it. I visited a mate this evening and sat and had a check of the settings. Everything I can see is off. Thanks

Go to the I-BUS "Settings"; Then "On-board computer"; Then scroll down towards the bottom of the list and select "Track Info Position"; and select "Disable". The track info should be gone then.

 

[HatManSan]

I have made a quick recording of the issue and what I have done to try and solve it. Cheers

I-Bus

First, try setting right below the Track Info Position setting, Track Control Buttons and uncheck that one (if not already), and see what happens.

Have you tried disabling the track info when you're in the OBC Wide mode? Or any other mode?

And if that still doesn't work, what I would try next is to go make a backup of your I-BUS settings, then reset the app to defaults;
There is an option right under the Import/Export App settings: in I-BUS settings, General App Settings, Delete App Data, and this will keep your activation and wipe everything else. Or you could wipe the settings under the Android Settings, Apps, find and select the I-BUS app, go down to Storage & Cache, and then Clear Storage.
Then, with everything default in the app, try to disable the track info again and see if it works.


To remove those consumptions or any other values, press and hold on the title of what you are wanting to remove (OR relocate) and it will become free to move around, then a trash can icon will appear at the bottom right, and drag it over the top of the trash icon and release, and they will go away.

As for the Oil value and others not working, read THIS. I too don't have oil values and is likely due to a bad oil level sensor (oil temp sensor is built into the these).
