The unit is powered up and played with it for alittle bit: accepting wifi internet connection and capable of internet surfing, accepting Bluetooth connection with iPhone and pulling up contact address book, receiving radio stations with radio broadcast data (e.g. artists/song titles). But because speaker wires haven't been completed yet, so no volume on any features yet.

So if you're doing this install, DEFINITELY buy a longer radio antenna extension cable. I think the one that came with the Dynavin is only like 10 ft; best to just buy a new one that's 18-20 feet and use that one instead.

Also, I was looking at the factory mounting bracket for the DSP amp to see if it would fit with my Alpine amp. Not surprisingly, the mounting holes don't line up. So I'll have to either drill 4 new holes on that mounting plate or look for another means to mount/secure the amp.
How's is it going? Looking forward to hearing more progress!! Thx for the tips thus far!
