Dynavin N6 install -Pics!

Do these work with the factory amp/subwoofer?

I have completed my install of an Eonon GA6166 earlier this year in a Factory NAV E53 and am very happy with the performance and price. NO DSP in my vehicle.

A thread is currently ongoing trying to get a Seicane install to work with DSP

He bypasses the factory amp with that setup. That cannot sound as good as the factory setup, regardless of claims. With my DSP can I install an Android unit which utilizes my factory amp which is already wired to the speakers?

The only advantage to keeping the dsp amp working is not having to run wires for the aftermarket amps. Sound wise? ANY decent quality modern amp will sound 100 times better than the factory dsp amp. Daughters 528i has the same dsp the x5 has the sound isn't anything to write home about.

Actually my android radio without dsp in my x5 sounds better than the factory radio with dsp in the 528i.

Thats apples to oranges, to compare to the factory X5 audio, not one in another car. No headunit by itself is going to compare, my point. I want to plug the headunit into the factory amp and call it a day.

Yes, that's why the long wire from the back of the trunk to the dash is required as I understand it if you 'have nav'...

Otherwise with the Business CD it's just plug and play

My sound is great...

How do I have the unit default to displaying navigation on startup? I want it to always be on the nav screen unless I make a different selection. The Eonon unit on my E39 defaults to what was last displayed when the ignition is turned off -radio, nav, dvd, usb etc.

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?

Ok, so after installing dynos 1.2.1 the unit now boots to nav all the time as long as I turn off the ignition while on nav. This is exactly what I wanted and now I'm a happy camper.
