Software

Main Software

As main software I am using  XBMC. This is a realy nice open source project which is free and provides a really nice multimedia interface. Currently I am writing a plugin for this software to control core BMW equipment. For the first, I am only interested in controlling the main radio. Although main radio (BMW Professional RDS) is controlled by the left button field of the OpenBM device, I still don't have any nice graphical interface to control the radio. So, I hope I will be done in next weeks with the first version.

Video Diary

Both videos showing OpenBM in action. In the background the gateway in version 0.10 is running, which is capable of transforming IBus messages into key press events. Enjoy :)!

Project in the Car

Last video I made showing the whole stuff in the car. On the video one can see how the control of original BMW radio is done through the OpenBM as also a control of all other nice multimedia stuff is shown. Enjoy it!
