You can use sd cards up to 64gb
I just wish there was a way to reset mpg and all this stuff without having to use the MID...I'm using the glove box too so I got rid of it...I think I can live without it..and you could sell the whole thing and feel good about the fact that you theoretically spent only 400$ or less on the newest Dynavin haha

my MID only shows on three features anyhow on my Cluster's OBC:
Avg Consumption,
Avg Speed and
one other I can't remember (maybe kms till fuel is empty)

I think I can live without all three of them

Cable is not long enough to reach since the connector on the MID is located on the right side. Cable probably might reach if I place the MID up-side-down but couldn't deal with that...

the more I think about it, with the NEWNESS (potential for some bugs with hard/software) and the fact that I have my wedding in 6 months, I'm gonna hold off on this purchase till a longer term review can be made. .
who knows by then maybe Dynavin will use a multi direction mic and have software all updated for this.
I'll follow along so please keep updates going guys.
Not just Four.8iS, but anyone who buys one please write your reviews in this thread.

Good call Mike we should definitely make this the definitive Dynavin N6 thread to keep all posts consolidated.

Pumped that it's working awesome with DSP though!

Guys, the unit is still going strong after the software update
I moved the MIC up into the headliner - much cleaner sound I'm told..
Also I wired the GPS antenna right above driver's head under the headliner...the signal is picked up instantly now.
The hardest part was taking part of the dash out and fish the microphone wire thru the headliner. All in all, about 3 hrs of work but well worth it.
Will post some pictures later...

ok here it is...You can see where i tucked away the gps antenna right under the roof rack..the length of the wire was just perfect for that location..take the weather stripping out and pull a little on the headliner...find some metal so attach it to via its own magnet.

The mic is in a perfect location for good sound and its not in the way really...i barely notice it there while driving..

Can't wait for somebody else to jump on board and order one of these units so you can see how good they are...

One nice thing that I noticed is if you play music on A2DP app via bluetooth and you stop the car, go shopping come back, the song will pick up where it left off...pretty neat...I hear the older ones had a problem where the song would keep playing regardless if it was connected or not ..discovering one good thing at a time...
