Dynavin N6 install -Pics!

Has anyone noticed that the buttons of this unit are kinda loose? Or is it just mine? They function perfectly otherwise. The OEM headunit buttons are firm to the touch just like the climate control buttons. I didn't think much about it until my wife mentioned it. It does feel cheap though. Looks like something Dynavin should look into in the next iteration of the product.

Yeh, agree they're not as tactile as the OEM buttons, but they match the 10yr old IHKA buttons that disintegrate upon touch quite nicely! An impressive feat!

On a serious note, I rarely touch the buttons on the radio - I use either the steering wheel buttons or the touch screen.

Great thread guys. Sent Jeff a PM and getting the ball rolling on my Dynavin N6 upgrade. Quick question for anybody that has completed the BU camera install. Does the Dynavin provide the guide lines in the video image, or do I need a camera that provides them? I know that the Dynavin is supposed to read the steering input angle and "swing" the lines, but I haven't seen if our E53s support that feature or not. I'm guessing with the active xenon headlights that the steering angle is calculated some how. Does the Dynavin see that information? Thanks in advance for any and all feedback!

99% sure the Dynavin puts the lines down over the camera.

I don't have active xenons so my guide lines don't move. One of the 4.8is guys can probably answer that question for you though.

Actually the parking guide lines are a feature of the camera (I tested my camera while out of the car before install). Most current cameras have the feature. As for the moving parking lines, those are part of the canbus protocol, not the older ibus as in the E53 X5. On my 2005 4.4 sports with active xenon headlights, the parking lines do not move while I can see the headlights moving (indicating the steering angle sensor is fine).

There you go! Ignore everything I said ! lol

Thanks guys! I'd been having a hard time finding a camera that didn't have the guide lines as part of the image. Sounds like that is the way I need to go anyway. Thanks again for the feedback.

Eonon has Sony high def cameras without guidelines

Hey X5only, do you have a link for that Eonon Camera? Thanks!!!
