Changing preferences (like turning off the door gong) just updates the settings memory, the firmware doesn't change. Unless you want to update the firmware on your Engine / Transmission, It's pretty much impossible - the data bus is designed so that errant / malfunctioning devices don't break anything. The Car Kracker works with the following cars A few ideas Īuto Unlock: Unlock the doors when a specific Bluetooth device comes within rangeĭata logger + phone home: Automatically send car location and speed via SMS Everything is open source, so it be customized and the firmware can be updated via USB. Audio Aux-In Mode: Enable Aux input to stereo headunitsĪ kit is available, or you can follow the schematic in the next step to make one from scratch.Bus Sniffer: Display data traffic and send test packets.Advanced Diagnostics Mode: Remove the Nav warning screen, access error logs and read / modify ECU characteristics.Audio Jukebox Mode: Play music stored on an SD card.It plugs into a connector in the trunk and has several default modes built-in If you don't mind removing the old OEM audio/satnav/bluetooth setup and decide to get a modern, high quality head unit, it'll have bluetooth built in and you'd not have these kinds of issues at all.The Car Kracker is a microcontroller with a bit of hardware to talk to your car. The 'best' option is no.3, however there's a few months waiting for the next batch to be made (Bluebus Version 2 has just been announced as well) and it's only available from the USA via Ted who is a BMW enthusiast who made this product, so will be subject to VAT/Import Duty/Customs Clearance and shipping costs. Buy the bluebus module for futureproofing and gaining plenty more features too. Get a newer - gen 13 OEM BT module and hope that worksģ. Use an older iPhone that does still work with the gen 12Ģ.
Iphones do have the best chance of being fully operative with the old/ancient OEM bluetooth modules but that doesn't mean it'll stay like that forever! Apple update their phones with new software so it's 'most' likely that your phone now has a newer 'Bluetooth stack' which isn't quite as compatible with the old Gen 12 BT module.ġ.
