Dynavin N6 install -Pics! - Page 67

have they made a dynavin model yet that has the backup camera with the guides that move when you turn the steering wheel to help you judge where you are backing up to. The other half needs that badly. Also is there one that supports carplay or android mirroring as I have been in multiple new cars with that feature it's really nice. Ebay has a guy sellng a wireless solution that just doesn't take advantage of any controls as it just wireless video.

It's a function of the vehicle. The E53 X5 steering angle sensor module does not connect to the vehicles Controller Area Network (CAN) bus and thus the backup camera parking guides are static. I also have Dynavin installed in my E92 and the guides move.

Bonus month next month and would like to buy a new headunit, the N6 has been out for a while, do we know if there is a newer model in the pipeline?

Not sure an upgrade will mean anything other than software tweaking here and there.
The hardware is as good as it gets (with the exception of the physical buttons that could be firmer like the oem) but other than that, everything flows really nice with the other dash pieces and buttons. Looks like it's meant to be there...

Mine still performs as it should. No complaints..

Dynavin N6 units can be fitted with an accessory to allow for Apple Car Play.

In my opinion, which is just that, it's a waste of money.
The interface other than main screen is garbage at this point in time, until they decide to upgrade it.
Navigation is better on the N6, (Maps via CarPlay leave a lot to be desired), so you pretty much get your apps on the screen for an extra 300$. Hmm....and you have to have the phone plugged in all the time for it to work.

Tell you what...my iPhone 7plus fits snug horizontally on the N6 screen. I've got apple car play for free...

Thanks for the update four8, I'm still considering the Dynavin for myself -

I'd like to retain the OBC so I may relocate it with a Dynavin install to get best of both worlds - wouldn't have to retain CD player for DSP functionality too -

The only thing is the booting up with the door open does bother me (cleaning the car etc), but I may be able to get over it -

RB, it does boot up but you can turn it off manually just like you'd do with the regular radio or nav. Not sure if Im missing something..

I asked distributor a few weeks ago. Got the appropriate answer which was--sometime in the future. No indication of a timeline whatsoever.

Good to know - now if I could relocate the MID too to keep the full OBC functionality I would probably pull the trigger as the price has come down some lately -
