ATD OBD-76IBUS USB Dongle For Android Radio Head Unit For BMW E46 E39 E53 & Range Rover L322

MAIN FEATURES

High quality USB to IBUS interface, which can be used as IBUS/KBUS/PBUS and any other LIN-BUS communication transceiver.

What is IBUS?

It is a communication cable, in which send and receive commands from one module to the other (s). Since the  iBUS cable is reading  command lines no matter how close to which electronic module you get hooked to, it is accepted and called “bus”. The main objective of this bus is the need to save each module to be connected to all other modules with several cables in which to exchange statuses and commands. The presence of communication buses is typical of all modern cars. Communication buses are one of the first and the enormous strides that have made the car manufacturers to the digitization of the functions and capabilities of modern cars.

Unlike much of the proposed Ibus interfaces and circuits with external pullup resistors on the Internet, our IBUS interface is recognized by your computer or Android device as a real serial port and the connection with your BMW is running by a special IBUS integrated circuit microchip, called TH3122, which is very important for high quality iBUS communication. No drivers needed usually, since almost all modern operating systems come with integrated drivers for our kind of USB transceiver.

It works with all known applications, like IBUS-APP, Navcoder, ibuscommunicator and others. Our interface contains TH3122, which is the best IBUS transceiver that supports collision detection.

• Navcoder
• IBUS App for Android 
• Webasto diagnostic software
• Many other applications and programs for linbus, IBUS, Kbus etc.

To install IBUS interface in your car, you must connect it to only 3 wires from your car’s wiring harness: 12V, GND (ground), IBUS/KBUS.

You can easily find that wires a the following locations:

• 3 pin connector of your CD changer contains just these three cables.
• Connectors of the radio module (cassette, CD) and others.
• Light module, GM module, navigation MK module and others.

You can connect IBUS interface this way:

• RED wire of IBUS interface to 12V source in your car (red, red/white, red/green wire in your car).
• BROWN wire of IBUS interface to GND (brown, brown-white, brown-white wire in your car wiring harness).
• YELLOW wire of iBUS interface to IBUS (white-grey with yellow dots) or KBUS (white-red wire with yellow dots).
• IBUS is always a white wire with grey stripe and yellow dots.

VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY LIST

Some BMWs (like E46) are not equipped with IBUS, but they have KBUS, which is white wire with red stripe and yellow dots, so on E46, please connect the yellow wire of our interface to KBUS.

Computer requirements: Any computer with the right driver. Our IBUS interface is fully supported by IBUS-APP for Android, Navcoder and many others and if your operating system is one of the following:  XP (32/64bit), Vista (32/64bit), Win7 (32/64bit), Win8(32/64bit), Win10 or Android, you usually don’t need to install drivers, your operating system already has the right drivers pre-installed.

PLEASE NOTE: You need to purchase the App APK and the DSP license separately direct from the developers (not through Audio Tech Direct).

The cost is around £20 for the App and £18 for the DSP license (prices maybe subject to change as they are done by the app developers).
