If you have the Business CD with Mid there is a little trimming but not enough to change it forever if you ever want to go back to stock.

You need the iBus adapter for the DSP to function and it is included when you order for DSP. The iBus adapter also allows for resetting the factory OBC values.

Price has dropped again to $399 for the base model.

Wow, $399! I'd go for this! It looks so OEM. I have Dynavin N6 (ripped off for $699 a few years ago) and I'm ready to throw it out the window at the slightest excuse. It works fine but I'm fed up it's a closed proprietary operating system with no apps to be installed as opposed to an Android operating system. So you miss out on the iBus adapter and therefore there's no way of resetting the factory OBC values and system date/time, other than, of course, reconnecting the old factory unit just to do that .
