Ted, the product is really great, it just makes the car feel so right in this age and era!!!! No worries in trying to have BB to respond to queries for the TCU in the car's network, I don't think many people care about it . I may remove the TCU eventually to save weight later down the road. |

The late June re-stock date is accurate. All other allocations for the June batch directly through me have been pre-sold, and I probably won't be doing another run until July. Thanks! -Ted |

Here is a cheap and easy way to use Bluetooth
You have to have an aux port nearby a 12v supply for the old USB charger in the cigarette lighter port.
I used this with my E90 M3 before installing a carplay MMI device. Pretty simple solution as the usb side is a bluetooth device that routes audio out of the 3.5mm jack. Plug the 3.5 into the port below hvac controls, plug the usb into a cig lighter charging adapter. but you won't have all the capabilities the BluBus has. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

That's a bit more bulky that the Tunai Firefly I use but it does allow for more distance between connection points.

Is then TCU adapter for blue bus worth it? Not so much from cost perspective but for those with factory Bluetooth, is the blue bus phone audio noticeably better that one should replace the factory TCU? In past seems like other aftermarket solutions have not paired well with the factory mic so I wonder if one is better off just limiting blue to streaming music only.

Most of the time, the factory mic in later build E46s and E8xs works fine (part ending in 762), but other times it can pick up an echo of the caller which is annoying for the other party. This can be tuned out usually, but at the very worst switching to the microphone with P/N 84318380338 is the final solution. This microphone performs perfectly with the BlueBus. Thanks! -Ted |

I wonder if that’s intentional and what causes the echo when switching over to blue bus

Some E46s had a speaker under the steering column for call audio, but that was only there until 2001. The echo is likely attributed to the fact that the newer 762 microphone is over gained (which is why BMW touted it as noise cancelling -- the added gain allowed them to more easily apply a NR algo). As I mentioned, not everyone has the issue, and the 338 microphone doesn't have the issue whatsoever. -Ted |
