Goodbye Eonon. Hello Dynavin!

-Decent sound quality
-As good or slightly better sound quality than stock

And my last wish list on the Dynavin would have it be so that I wouldn't have to relocate the OBC to the glovebox, as well as re-wire the DSP and delete the DSP amp, but I don't think it does either of those things.

However, if I was looking to delete the DSP amp and do some serious audio upgrading, the only unit I'd use in my X in lieu of having factory 16:9 navigation would be the Dynavin, hands down.

Ricky, have you seen the new Eonon for X5/E39? It's the D5124F Eonon D5124F | Car DVD | Specific Car DVD | Car DVD for BMW E39 1996-2003 / E53 2000-2007

I think it looks more oem than the current dynavin D99+ although not of similar quality. In any case its quality has improved a lot over the Eonon you had - D5124U. The buttons match exactly the rest of the X5/E39 dash buttons and its functionality is much less buggy than the old model you had. I think it's quite decent for the price too -USD $377.

If you have it I'd love to see pics of it in the car, the website makes it look really nice actually. and if you installed with DSP, i'd be interested on how hard it was as well.

Does anyone know if either of these units support any streaming audio services (Spotify, Pandora, etc.) with control from the unit's screen? In other words, sure I could stream music from my phone through the aux input, but is there any built-in functionality so I can control the interface from the unit? Based on the feature descriptions, I'm guessing no.

Hualigan can. I assume Dynavin is doing that as well. Dynavin has 2 OS: WinCE & Android. I guess both support it.

Actually, the website doesn't portray just how good it looks. Here're some pics in my 97 528 with non-dsp. Evidently it's not as solid as dynavin but it generally delivers for most part- its got its own minor but annoying hiccups here and there but for the price I can live with it for my beloved 16 year old car. Its obviously light years ahead of the previous head unit of my car- factory head unit radio with cassette player and 6-cd changer in the trunk.

Is this the unit you have? In what way is it lesser quality than Dynavin D99? Less buggy means there are still bugs? Is anyone satisfied with the Eonon unit?
