Thanks. The Dynavin is a really nice unit but faces many of the same install challenges as the Avin when talking about replacing a factory nav unit. The only glaring difference is the necessary trimming on the corners.

P.s. I have asked Jeff to remove the 'E53' camera from his website. Hopefully your source does the same. The camera is for an e39/e46 - such a shame not for ours. Also. Aside from it not fitting - why wouldn't these use a 4 pin micro connector?! Those huge RCA's are a PITA to get through the tail gate as you know!!
Thanks for the compliments. It took over a week to do the write up and edit the pictures. I'm not sure how many will benefit from all the work, but I hope it helps someone... lol. I didn't try for very long to get that RCA through there... haha I cut that thing off in a hurry and re-soldered it later. I agree they could design a small harness to make it easier but I haven't seen a camera use that type of setup yet...

I also mentioned it to Tommy about the camera and will ask him again about it just as a follow up. I wish I had taken pics of just how much modification was necessary to get it to work right...

I agree Josh. I was surprised to see that it was necessary but have not mentioned it yet except in the DIY. I sent a copy to Tommy so I'm sure he'll review it. Will follow up with him.

Thanks... my head still hurts from reading, writing, editing, and diagrams. Took a week to get it done... but it turned out pretty nicely (I think). We'll see if this thread sees any traffic or helps anyone. I hope it does, but time will tell.
