Add the 54-pin TCU adapter. You will also need this to connect BlueBus to your BMW.
thinking of pulling the plug and get this bluetooth unit. I am sick of my ebay blutooth unit :(
is the old bluebus (before component change) better than new one? looks like the new one has less features (educate me).
Anyone else having an issue updating theirs via their laptop. I was running to some trouble trying to update mine via my Mac laptop.
I last updated my bluebus in late 2021. I have successfully updated it 2 or 3 times with this set up since purchase. I noticed that there was a new firmware 1.3.0, so I figured I would update again. I was trying to get my bluebus to talk to my MacBook but it keeps saying timeout after a few seconds. The green power light is solidly on. and when I select the device from the tool drop down I see a little orange or red light blink a few time, then it gives me the error. I have tried 7 or 8 different USB cables so far making sure I was fully pushing them in, so not sure if that may still be the issue. The bluebus works ok for the most part otherwise. I have tried the firmware tool from last year, which gives 5 seconds before time out. I also downloaded the one currently on the website 1.3 (not sure if the firmware tool has been updated), which gives 10 seconds before time out.
Yep I had the same exact issue with No success after several attempts. I did contact Ted and he tried to remote in to help but we had issues with the connection. It works fine on the 1.1.18 software so as the saying goes “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” applies. [emoji851]
Oh so Im not the only one. I am on 1.1.17. Are you using a Mac too or PC?
I did email him back in December but I never received a response. Hopefully he will check in and see these messages here. Mine is working fine as far as I can tell but it’d be nice to be able to update the software again for new features/bug fixes.

I just checked my BlueBus and I'm at firmware 1.3.0 on my Gen2 BlueBus (blue pwr light)

I pulled out my Gen1 BlueBus (green pwr light) and tried to run the firmware update tool and have the same problem where it times out. Unable to read my Gen1 BlueBus or update the firmware on it. It has firmware 1.1.18 installed on it.
