I actually think the NBT is the best way to go today. It looks clan and right in the X5 but a very expensive proposition.

My vehicle has the stock Navigation with DSP. Last year before my Thanksgiving drive from Dallas to Fort Myers I purchased the GROM bluetooth audio integration kit and its just one of the best implementations that I have seen to date. I bluetooth stream my music from my Pandora, I make phone calls from the steering wheel. For all that I need to do this system delivers. I know you do not have the OE system but if you did GROM would be a great way to go. Now If I were you I would just hold on because over these nest two years the electronics manufactures will have options that may very well just make sense for you to upgrade.

Dynavin is an alternative to Eonon, but you're spending twice the money for a lot less functionality. Eonons will run Waze or just about any Android app.

Leave it. The OEM Nav is out-dated. I've been using my iPhone for navigation.

Has anyone seen a comparison of features of the two?

I haven't seen a side-by-side. As a proxy for side-by-side reviews I compared a lot of the YouTube long-term reviews of Eonon and Dynavin. There's obviously variation in models/generations, but the Eonons were a more pure android/pseudo-tablet experience compared to Dynavins being more like a standard car stereo with an Android/WinCE base.

The audio shop I use also mentioned they'd had a lot of bad experiences with Dynavin and Avant for slow screen response, software glitches, etc.
