The Best Bluetooth Integration for Older BMW's!!! (Bluebus)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I install a Bluebus into my E46 M3. I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who has an older BMW and wants modern bluetooth capabilities with an OEM look. I bought this from bluebus.dev where you can go and order one yourself. Subscribe!!!

I am amazed how well it integrates with the 15+ year old Business CD radio. Thanks for posting !

This is amazing! Perfect for an OEM+ setup. I've always wanted to connect my phone to my m3 and listen to music, although I didn't want to loose the look of my oem interior, and I never was a big fan of those aftermarket radios with the big screens running an android operating system. Plus, they're very expensive! This solves all my problems. Glad I came across this video before installing an aux.

Hey, our car still had the multi cd changer- it was easy to locate the cable. Thanks for the vid
Super helpful, thank you

Big fan of the bluebus, I don't have one in my e46 yet, but I do have one in my e39 with nav and it integrates just as well with the nav screen.

Thanks for the video! Is there a list of instructions showing what each button on the head unit does? I just installed this and my buttons only do half of what yours are doing.

I ordered mine thru Turner motorsports. Does it come with the phone cable? My car is pre-wired for phone. Turner never gave me the option? Can't wait. Mine is coming in on Friday.

I ordered mine through the bluebus site and had to additionally click to add the phone option. yours may not come with it but regardless, enjoy!!

Nothing happens after I installed mine. Is there any troubleshooting I can do? I made sure all the cables were connected properly. Might try disconnecting my battery and then connecting it again to see if it works

Yes, and it works even better than the standard Business CD units. You get all sorts of goodies like coolant temperature, full blown menus, etc.

The raw unit cost is $120, give or take depending on batch size. Then you have to factor in programming them, assembling them into their enclosure, testing them, packing materials, shipping, customer support, software updates. I'm not getting rich, that's for sure :)
