Ibuscommunicator

[pete_c]

Thank you N3meis. 

Yes first gen car pc used the Resler Interface for about a year. 

Endeavor here is to update two CarPC's from Intel D525's to 8th generation Atom CPUs.  Also updated from Windows embedded to Linux. 

Tested Kodi this morning using the IBusCommunicator plugin with the CIS-IBus interface and it worked fine using Aux for audio and video.

Note this is on an E83 testing for time bean.  The E46 (in storage) is using newer model of the CIS-Ibus.

The CIS-Ibus is first generation with a serial RS-232 port for communications and a USB connection for power only.  I used an RS-232 ==> USB cable to map the device to /dev/ttyUSB0.  There also is one serial port connection on the car pc so I could utilize that one.

For TV connectivity here using an HD Homerun.  Using it at home with the Kodi boxes it runs great.

Next configuration is for the ODBII transport.

What Bluetooth and or WLAN device is recommended for ODBII?
