Dynavin N6 install -Pics!

I thought the camera would be fixed and the lines would bend on the screen. I've seen it done this way on other non-BMW Nav units. Could be wrong though.

That is reverse guide lines that moves. See photo below. Camera view angle doesn't move.

A 90 deg camera and 30 deg display would give 3 full screen views of behind.

Got it. Nothing special about the rearview function on the N6.

Doru, here's my experience with the radio so far ...right out of the box, the radio reception isn't the greatest.I tested it under all of the circumstances you listed above : stop lights, while driving and underground parking lots ;
the signal was worse than the OEM radio that I thought was ok, BUT Jeff sent me part of a future software update that tweaks the radio a little, and after 2 days after that update,again, doing the same kind of testing, I see a much improved radio signal and a more constant reception overall.It really made a difference and although I don't listen to the radio a lot, I'm pleased that now it works better than before.
So far, in all honesty, I have no regrets for ordering this unit .For everything that it gives you , simple and intuitive interface as well as the OEM looks, can't see a reason not to get one.

Hopefully this makes sense ..

Thanks for the feedback. I ordered one, not sure when it will show up. So I have to ask Jeff for a "radio patch", it seems.
One more question: can you please look up in the rear hatch, and see what your amp model is? (Lear, Philips, Loewe - all are O.E., but pending of the cost of the day, BMW equipped the cars with whatever was cheapest on that day). It seems the DSP works with a certain amp model.....

[Doru]

Yes you'd need an additional cable but I suggest you read the whole thread so you can get a better idea of what's needed and how it works.

Ya there's no easy way to find out the brand on this AMP
it's written on te back so in order to see it you gotta take the amp out by unscrewing about 14 screws and mess around with the bracket lol
But I got it, it's LEAR
