Pffff that steel gray hits different. I have a sterling gray 530i but this color is just magnificent!

I just received the Bluebus for my 2000 M5. easy setup thanks to your videos. Where can I source the Db25 phone connector that you chat about in this video? Bluebus's site doesnt seem to sell them.

My 2003 540i grounded its speakers
What’s the most common area it has the alpine sub and amp
I was speeding at 150 and hit a lump in the road then speakers grounded

Hi Ryan, as always great product/instructional video. I wanted to know if there was a difference between the 3 microphones?

[danielwatts]

hi, do you currently have any e39 530's or M5's for sale?

[vincentchu]

Great stuff, waiting on my Bluebus in July. Any thoughts in using a third party 3.5 mm Microphone for telephone calls instead of going with the SES or 54 pin adapter and purchasing a used BMW mic?
Does the 3.5 mm input on the Bluebus produce clear phone calls if wired from the trunk to front? Or is there another accessory required? Thanks

The wires in the trunk does that also go for the 40pin stereo wires

what’s the best head unit for a e39 2001? I am getting my first car monday and would like to add a head unit as the radio does not seem to work

[naveeds]

Bluebus is great but honestly the mic for phone calls kinda stinks. Not sure if its just mine but callers always complain that the sound quality is poor. Is there an upgraded mic that is a plug and play replacement?

[jeancharlesrabaux]

Y love the cars please the solde in Amérique one e39 M5 is dollars Please

[naveeds]

Great video! I have a bluebus and really love it. I'm connected using the analog connector. I bought the digital cable and tried to switch but when I switch the bluebus to digital via the head unit no sound is played. If I switch back to analog it works fine. Any clue what the issue could be?

I HAVE A E39 520i 2002 model
Under the driver dash is a little thing and it makes air sound????

Ryan, do you know what brand the oem rocker cover is on e39's, or at least which brand you would personally use in your car. thx

[gaboe]

Hey Ryan. Great video. I love the idea of the bluebus, however I currently have an android unit. The main reason is the backup camera functionality. Is there a way to hook up a backup camera to the OG radio (MKIV)?

[raehumcheema]

Hi Ryan does that mean bluebus audio and calls won't work on euro cars? Edit: as in they aren't pre wired?

[thomaschacon]

can you just use the phone if you have it would be awesome to be able tonuse that thing
