Hi thanks for this post. I am going to try running jivelite/squeezelite
in my BMW using an rpi and a pibus (http://pibus.info/ )

As the BMW doesn't have a touch screen, the system will have to be
controlled by the headunit buttons translated to keypresses. There are
about 14 different buttons I can use, so I should be able to make it
work. The pibus program that translates BMW IBUS codes to keycodes is
open source and pretty easy to spot where to change the code to produce
different codes, here is a pic of the headunit and the keys the author
uses to control XBMC (but as I say I am going to have crack at making it
work with squeeze/jive.

Fun times ahead!
