Dynavin Installed

[NextGen]

You really have to do your homework before purchasing one of these. They are not on the same level as a Pioneer, Kenwood, or Alpine. I have decided not to use the iPod feature because the unit does not resume on the last song when you turn the car off. I am using an sdcard instead. The unit will resume the song from the sdcard. The sdcard interface is not well executed and leaves a lot to be desired visually. I figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal since I am usually on the navigation screen. But then I found out that I can't forward to the next song unless I am on the sdcard screen. Another annoying limitation is that settings like random and repeat reset when you turn the car off. So I have to press them everytime if I want them on.

Yet another annoying limitation is that when I put my trunk in reverse and the camera screen turns on, then the sound turns off. This same limitation is there when streaming music from my iphone. If I navigate away from the bluetooth screen then the sounds turns off. So, I can't use navigation and stream Pandora or ESPN radio at the same time.

At the end of the day the Dynavin feels like a rushed job. Many features don't work the way you expect them to. Some screens have a different look and feel than others, so it looks like different applications instead of a single integrated one. Most of the problems can be fixed in a firmware upgrade but Dynavin is a little slow putting those out.
