I was just thinking the same. Mine is android with quad core processor and Very different from above video. Didn't realise the Dxxxx runs win....my mistake.

Update the soft, doesn't work either.
I think the system itself is poor quality. It looks nice but very poor. Don't you agree with little details? like are you happy with GPS? really?

CHECK THIS NEW VIDEO

Yes, definitely a great upgrade over factory head unit without modifications. Looks very OEM and it's of good quality. The fact that it works with DSP makes it stand out from the rest of the competition. I also like the fact that it has USA support from the official distributor Jeff who is most excellent in customer support. Dynavin also gives regular software updates which tells you they're actively responding and addressing any issues or requests from customers.

By the way, lets keep this thread about Dynavin and not Eonon as others have started.

Heres a Q - would the Dynavin keep the OBC functionality if you relocated the OBC to the glovebox optionally like many have done with the Avin units? I'm ok with splicing a few wires and moving the OBC to the Glovebox if I can keep the OBC functionality

Maybe Jeff can answer that better

If you have the MID unit you can relocate it to the rear as I did with mine after fitting a Android Eonon unit over 12 months ago. I had no Nav or DSP in the rear, so space was there and frame width accommodates the MID with no modification. That means you can keep your gloves in the glove box.

I did a quick install on my Dynavin N6 last weekend (Fakra harness is on the floor and over the back seat until I get my passenger door lock actuator replaced as I can't get the door open to route the harness). I must say that even using the factory DSP amp and speakers, the sound quality is markedly improved. There's a couple of bugs that Dynavin is working on according to Jeff (Bluetooth phone call audio has some distortion, OBC engine temperature isn't working correctly), but I'm very pleased overall.

In case anyone's interested, I've successfully connected the factory NAV GPS antenna to the Dynavin N6 and it works beautifully. Signal level is stronger than placing the Dynavin GPS antenna behind the radio in the dash where I had it temporarily.

I used a 20' SiriusXM extension cable and a Fakra adapter to make it work. I'm sure most people wouldn't bother as it adds cost (about $31), and running yet another cable to the rear of the vehicle, but I'm particular and wanted a more OEM approach.

Hi David,

Could you elaborate on the location of the factory GPS connector (a picture would be great) and the part numbers for the Sirius extension and Fakra adapter?

Thanks,

Mike

I don't have any pics handy (I'm at work), but the factory connector is plugged into the back of the factory DVD NAV drive in the left rear compartment. It's a small black coax cable. I used a Fakra coax adapter cable plugged into the back of the Dynavin and that connects to a Sirius extension cable that runs to the back of the vehicle and plugs into the factory GPS antenna cable that used to connect to the factory DVD NAV drive. Bought both the adapter and extension cable on Amazon.

Adapter - Amazon.com : SiriusXM Radio FAKRA Antenna Adapter Connector to SMB : Other Products : Everything Else

Cable - http://www.amazon.com/Sirius-Radio-A...ilpage_o02_s00

I did have to swap the adapter Fakra housing with the Fakra housing from the radio extension cable that I purchased with my Dynavin N6. The Fakra coax connectors are keyed depending upon what they are used for (radio, GPS, etc.). As it happens, the Dynavin radio antenna extension cable that comes with the Fakra extension purchased from Jeff has a "universal" Fakra end on it, and the adapter purchased from Amazon is a "radio" end, so swapping the two Fakra housings allowed everything to fit. Let me know if you need additional help and I can take some pics and elaborate further.
