now, factory nav - that could be challenging in wiring, as the radio is split unit, half in the front, half in the trunk...

i like this - good job, four.8!!! Enjoy
T, I think the microphone can't be hidden behind the grille unfortunately..i might try it but since its very directional, (tried it), you'll have to talk directly towards it...maybe a better mic should work ?i really liked the oem one...

EDIT: For the ones with factory NAV, just get the FAKRA cable which is about 50$..shouldnt take more than 2 hrs to take it all the way back to the trunk then you are done..might as well do the PDC and rear view camera in the same time.

Im just really pumped about this thing....

I see the nav in this thing more like for long drives and such..around town is good but it might take some time to search around and im just more used to my phone at the moment..

quick shots below.

And second update..I learned how to choose a new start-up screen...and guess what I chose?lemans blueeeeee ..Im really likin' this thing and you guys are missing out big time if not ordering one soon

From Dynavin comparison page, N6 shows boot time from when the doors are unlocked. Does N6 turn on when you unlock the doors? Are you able to add apps or is the unit specific to DynOS?

Never paid attention to those 20sec but it's more like 5 -7 seconds once you turn it on.gotta see if those 20 sec unlock thing actually work; I'm on my way in the garage

EDIT:If you leave the car, it stays on sleep mode for 20 min.
If you return to the car in that time frame the unit will be already up and running when you turn the ignition on;

RB, the USB does play and charge in the same time although my iPhone seems to have it's own phases when it works and when it doesn't ...I have to look into it and see why it does that.
Probably better to try some other phone and compare the results.Will keep you updated on that one.
