What do I need to use the I-BUS app?

• An Android device (radio/tablet/mobile phone) with a fully functional USB port. (i.e. it have to recognize e.g. an USB stick as data medium)
  '

We only recommend to use one of the tested Android radios with PX5 or PX6 processor.

"'Android from 4.4.4, better 5.1"'¹

• 'Resler Interface, which is correctly connected to the vehicle according to Installation Guide Resler USB Interface AND is plugged into a free USB socket on the radio/tablet/smartphone.
  

→ Why do we only recommend the "Resler-USB-Interface" and no other interface?
→ The (often red-brown) CAN BUS Box supplied with the radio is not a resler interface and not a replacement for it. It is only needed for the MFL keys functions, key illumination and reverse gear detection.

• The 'I-BUS App itself, installed on the device. (Note:' Download contains a *.zip file, which must be unpacked before installation!)
• Purchase of a 'License by specifying of the VIN of the vehicle to use the I-BUS App with all functions. To the selection stand:
  • License for BC, coding and comfort functions [EUR 22.00].
  • License to control the original DSP power amplifier (BMW E38/E39/E53/E83 only) [EUR 23.00]
  • Combined licence [EUR 40,00]
  • VIN-SWAP (license modification) [EUR 5.00]
