I don't remember exactly. Might try my Avin install thread to see what was required to plug into what. Sorry, lol, getting older sucks as my memory is not as sharp as it used to be.

How do these units stand up to sub-zero temp? (-5ºF/-20ºC) Do they introduce any more battery drain when the car is switched off?

Not sure if this helps but I'm located in Minot, ND where it can get down to -40s. I have the unit installed and had the X sitting out while I was at work in negative temps. I've had no start up problems whatsoever. I'd say it's a pretty solid unit.

The issue you are having is that there are two slots on the back of the dynavin that interlock with the bracket, with the dynavin out of the car you can see plainly how the unit interfaces with the bracket. When you mount the bracket you are screwing to the dash....which is mostly foam and vinyl...and is not very precise. So if the brackets dont end up in the right place the brackets wont line up with the slots, and the unit wont go all the way in.

There are a few options, get the brackets lined up better, sometimes not tightening the screws very tight helps as it keeps things from getting warped and allows for some wiggle when you are putting things together....although sometimes easier said than done depending on how far away from "standard" your dash is. OR just cut or bend that part of the bracket back out of the way so that it no longer hits the back of the dynavin. Those slots are basically redundant and dont really need to be there as the head unit is already securely held in a couple other ways as well.

Because a picture is worth a thousand words....


This is a pic looking at the bracket and the BOTTOM of the dynavin, you can see the slot and the part of the bracket that goes into it


This is probably what yours is doing, its slighting misaligned in the dash and is not going in all the way.



This is what it should do when everything is lined up correctly

So I'm having the same fitment issue with my unit (also replacing Nav).
I get how it's supposed to sit in the bracket, but anyone have suggestions on the best way to have the Dynavin mate to the bracket? I can get the top two tabs, and one of the bottom, but not all 4.

Suggestions?

bending them to a certain angle is the only way, takes a lot of fiddling to get right.
Currently my navi has stopped working, keeps poping "fetal error" codes, went through the crash log and the info says cannot find "mobilenavigator.maps"
on my last step with the naviextras support team, if it fails I have a bad head unit

They probably meant a bad nav micro sd card. Have you tried with a different one?

was able to fix this problem today
reformatted the sd card to 64kb allocation, fet32 and reloaded all the navi software, works very well now

I didn't get any response to this ^. N6 indeed does not boot to navigation after the ignition is turned off while the unit is on navigation, and you startup the car in the morning. The Eonon in my e39 and the factory x5 Nav unit do bootup to nav all the time, as long as the ignition was turned off while the unit is in the navigation screen.

Any ideas on how to have the N6 behave similarly? Jeff or anyone else?
