NavCoder is a Windows application to reprogram BMW navigation computers and other ibus devices.
And, if Jochen can incorporate this into NavCoder, we have a way cheaper option for Bluetooth in all I-Bus cars.NavCoder Website Welcome to the NavCoder website! My Dad now has voice recognition in his M3.
E46 navcoder update#
We were using NavCoder to download information from the TCU and send it to Jochen so that Jochen could analyze it and send update instructions back to us. This weekend, Jochen, my Dad (with his 2002 M3 and new TCU), and I had a Skype call going between Georgia, USA at my house and Jochen in Switzerland. Fortunately kiwijochen, the author of NavCoder and international BMW I-Bus expert programmer, came through. Maybe someone who is a true stud with these tools could do it, but it was beyond my ability and desire to experiment. It does not have the options we need for an early year car. I tried every option I could find in Progman/SSS, GT-1, and NCS Expert with no luck. Otherwise, you will need to get VR turned on. Or, if you are buying a used TCU with VR already turned on, this is not a problem. If you have a SES module, then this is not a problem. The only challenge is that the factory default coding for a TCU has voice recognition turned off. There are no navigation control instructions like in the ULF and SES modules. The only real downside to the TCU is that its voice recognition instructions only control the phone.
The TCU goes into pairing mode for a couple minutes when you first start the car, so it does not need a pairing button. Another advantage, both cost and cosmetic, is that the TCU does not require an eject box. My Dad has a 3G iPhone with the latest OS, and the TCU works perfectly with the iPhone, so this appears to be an optimum Bluetooth solution for a much lower cost. It is the newest available, though others will work. The TCU part number we installed is 84.10-9 195 455. HUGE news regarding the newest oem bluetooth tcu - BMW M3 (E30 M3 | E36 M3 | E46 M3 | E92 M3) OEM Bluetooth kit I put together for $419 pre 03/02 - E46Fanatics Schizophrenic behavior of '03 M5 with both SES and Bluetooth TCU? My Dad got his new TCU for $345, compared to over $600 for a new ULF (if you can even find one). The advantage to the TCU is that it costs 1/2 as much as a ULF. A BimmerBoard member named crds recently installed a TCU in his 2003 M5, a person over on E46Fanatics installed a TCU in a 2001 E46, a few others on M3Forum installed TCUs, and I installed a TCU in my Dad's 2002 M3 (see the reference posts below). However, a few recent installations proved this false. For a long time, we had a collective assumption that a Bluetooth-Assist TCU would not work in cars made prior to 2004.
