Dynavin N6 install -Pics!

[four.8is]

My N6 is working well, still. its been a while since I last posted on this forum. Lost my GPS card and I gotta pay 75$ for replacement..ouch
One of the tweeters might be out cuz I'm getting an annoying sound from the upper left dashboard...gotta take it apart one of these days ...

[bcredliner]

Has anyone been able to install the N6 using only the directions?

Has anyone had trouble free operation for a year or more?

Mine pops an error code for gps once in a blue moon. Only if i turn off the car with the gps still on the screen around 1am @ night when i leave work.
Sometimes in another language other than english. (Chinese maybe)

Nice. Looking forward to seeing how it goes (especially the reverse camera)

Cool - may not do the speakers (just sub), and it likely won't happen until early 2016....I'm slowly planning the install, and buying everything I need/want for the projects I'm taking on all at once (Angel Eyes, Bi-Xenon Projectors, LED bulb retrofits, Dynavin N6, Sub, etc).

I'll report back once all is done to give a report on my encounter, and the quality of the system (or any issues) once installed.

I've had mine since March this year and it's been trouble free. I would expect it to be trouble free years to come. Why? Because my lower quality Eonon D5124F in my BMW E39 is going strong for 3 years so far.

I have the e46 version in my M3 and it's been solid for a year +

How about the install? Did you have to get tech help or come here rather than just follow the directions?

For a standard audio system, i.e. non-DSP, I think the instructions that come with the product suffices and should be PnP. I have DSP and I found it a little bit challenging to install, I guess because I was doing it for the first time. It requires running the fakra cable from the front to the rear where DSP amp is located. Reverse camera and PDC hookup is also a little bit involving which I also did. But all this is well addressed right on this forum, so should be pretty easy although requires patience as it is time consuming and requires care. I wanted the cabling to look professional and neat.

To clarify the above....the extension (aka fakra) cable is for cars that came with oem navigation. DSP system installs are the same as non-dsp installs, just the settings on the unit are somewhat different.
