It is worth the wait to get this. Once you have this you will agree it was worth it. :thumbsup

One question though, what are dynamic comfort blinks you are adding support for? Do we have those in the E46? I do have mine set to do 5 blinks when changing lanes (works great). Are you saying you are increasing that to 8 max?

Thanks!

Howdy!

What I mean is, you can set the comfort blinks between 2 and 8, not just off, 3 or 5. :)

Sorry, but I do have trouble keeping the unit in stock. The amounts I order as overage always sell out :(

No worries Ted, it's part of the program. I am in the manufacturing industry and it can't gauge inventory right now due to COVID.

Hey Ted,

I went ahead and upgraded my unit from 1.1.14 to 1.1.17 and my comfort blinking no longer works. I am wondering if it has to do with the way the bluebus handles it now and that a few years ago I, like a number of other e46 owners, bought a LCM capable of being programmed for different blinks. I had the updated LCM set to do 3 blinks. When I first installed the bluebus I set the blinks to 5 and it worked perfectly. Now after the update it is only doing 3 blinks again no matter what number I set bluebus to.

This might also be a PSA on 1.1.17 for all the other owners who put in the updated LCM and programmed comfort blinking - they wont be able to change the number of blinks.

Hmm, this is quite odd. Do you have Navigation or not?

Since 1.1.15 the LCM/LSZ revision is identified automatically to de-couple the vehicle type selection from the diagnostics messages that are used to trigger the feature. It's possible your LSZ wasn't properly identified, but it should continue trying to ID the unit until it gets a response.

Thanks!

I do have Navigation. It was years ago, but I vaguely recall most E46 LCMs needing a software update to a newer version in order to activate triple blink. example here: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...ing-NCS-Expert


Hm, any suggestions? unplugging the bluebus and plugging it back in? I could try taking out the LCM and comparing the part numbers to my old one.

Yeah, try this if you don't mind:

https://github.com/tedsalmon/BlueBus...g-the-Terminal

After that, type in: "restore" and hit enter

You'll need to pair the BlueBus again and reconfigure your settings, but that will also force it to re-query the vehicle for the LSZ variant.

Thanks!

Any updates the the current batch of bluebuses. I know there was a shortage of components with all that’s been going on
