I personally don't like to see things popping out of the dash lol

Mine is hidden also. I had enough wire to run it up to the centre overhead console. It basically sits where the homelink buttons are,or for me, its just a blank plate. I do admit though, I had to plug the antenna into the head unit AS i loaded it into the slot- I couldn't plug it in while it was resting on the transmission tunnel pre installation. So the cord is only juuuuust long enough.

Where four.8is has his is just as good I think.

So you ran it up the A pillar and under the headliner around where the visor is? Maybe we should send Jeff an email and see if he can get Dynavin to provide a slightly longer antenna.

I'm surprised to be honest, it shouldn't be the location of the antenna that's the issue maybe the antenna itself?

I retrofitted OEM navigation on my 2008 VW GLI about 5 years ago and the universal GPS antenna I bought from ebay was magnetic and just stuck on the metal frame behind the unit and was hidden in the dash underneath the vent control.

Whats the plug like on the connection to the antenna? For probably $20 more if I can get a stronger antenna on ebay and can just hide it behind the unit in the dash I'd probably rather do that.

The Hualigan unit I have on my e39 has the GPS antenna under the dash, and it works good. I don't know why it doesn't work with Dynavin. I also looked at the cable of the N6 GPS antenna, and I thought it was short to route it through the A pillar in the roof. Then I also thought that if I don't get signal from under the dash, I might not get signal through the roof. That's why I placed it where it is. And it's very responsive in that location. Not the "cleanest" install, but the speaker baffle is black, metal (holds the magnetic backplate of the GPS antenna) and actually blends in. The pics somehow highlight the antenna. When sitting in the car you have to know about it to "see" it.

Smokey I think Jeff sold you the Australian version of the N6.That one has a longer antenna wire

Nah I think I have the Australian version of the X5 - slightly smaller

But seriously, I have the US version same as you. I had a relative bring one back from me from the US as there are distribution agreements in place that stop Jeff from sending them overseas. Local suppliers are charging double the price here....but that's a rant I won't get into. My antenna should be the same as yours unless they now provide a different version.

I have a question about the rca outs

I read that they are 4volt, that is good, but is there a front, rear, and subwoofer out?
and can u just rip out the cd changer and stock navi unit and stock dsp to make room for a 4 channel and a mono amp?

you have to keep the radio module I guess

I have dsp and stock navi, and my dsp amp is giving me issues, I loose front left and rear left speakers and tweets intermittedly .

You should do some reading on DSP.

All I will say is that the Dynavin has 4xRca out with dedicated sub channel. You can throw out the OEM system and build your own solution.

K, because on the website it says 2x4v preout, with no specification on what channel it is for and 1 rca, with no description on what that means

Do you have to keep the stock radio module and gps module and cd changer?
Or can u toss all that crap out?
Does it interact with the pdc system or can the n6 output the beeping sounds?
Bsw had an option for upgrading the stock dsp amp which would eliminate the need for going aftermarket for more watts, they also have plug and play speakers that are an upgrade which would eliminate cutting up door panels/speaker mounts and wiring

I disagree. There is just enough wire to reach the front of the overhead console. That is where I placed my GPS antenna, in front of the console and rear view mirror.

Can anyone post a link to what I need to purchase to duplicate the iphone screen on my nav? And let me know if it work on my X5 radio? FYI, I don't have television module if that is necessary.
