Here are some notes I took from my install of the BlueBus in my 2005 E85 3.0i. This car came Pre-wired for the CD changer and the cellular telephone. It has a pre-installed microphone (P/N: 84316937391) on the steering column.
1. First step was to get the carpet out of the way in the trunk (boot).The only problem, I had was with the big "button" in the middle. I used a utility knife to make a "button hole" to get this through and ensure that it could be secured.
- Be advised that the four small connectors on the bulkhead carpet have backings that you will want to ensure you keep track of. I had one go into the battery compartment and it was no fun getting it out.
2. Once the carpet is out of the way I held it up with some scrap wood I had in the garage.
3. Then I had to locate the three connectors I needed for the BlueBus. Here are the power and the Digital DSP.
The phone connector was tucked away on the left side up in the corner:
4. Connecting the BlueBus was super simple.
5. Once I had it connected and zip tied to the bracket, all I had to do was put it in pairing mode and connect it to my phone.
I am still messing with the gain setting on the steering column microphone for calls. Music plays great from my iPhone and the steering wheel controls work for volume and going forward or back a track.
Not getting the metadata for the song on the business CD yet but I think that may be a setting I need to mess with as well.
Hope this helps some folks.
Cheers
