Is this a new Navigation and Entertainment system?
 

Blue blobs have started to appear on my OEM Dash Nav Screen so it's time to get in a replacement.

I researched both the Dynavin vs Hualingan some time back and wasn't convinced as it removes some of the standard functions and bluetooth appears a bit wonky on the new systems, but recently I came across this:

GPS BMW E39 E53 X5 E38 Navigation CAR DVD Navi 5er 7er | eBay

It could just be an update, but was wondering if anyone had any further info on it, or any suggestions for the best replacement currently available, mine won't last much longer by the look of it and I won't get much for it with a busted screen.

UPDATE: Found there website - http://en.auvidio.com/index.php?id=1 (looks like these guys are still in the setup process) these guys might actually mean business and not be a cheap cloning factory, they are looking for technicians worldwide to fit their systems.

Do this and your screen will look like new. I just did mine an hour ago.

New nav screen
 

There are many reasons to like the one on ebay, but why is the screen and DVD slot not centered (vertically) to be more aesthetically pleasing??? :confused:

Would be nice to have a full tutorial on how to do this, including part Numbers, suppliers etc. (It's a good idea though), I would be worried about Getting the right part Number as that could be an expensive error, The price of the replacement LCD/LED, seems high to me, I change these often on phones and laptops for some extra cash and the prices quoted in the thread supplied seem very high in comparison (All things BMW I guess).

Nevertheless It's an option I will consider and thanks for the info.

I agree, it does look a bit wonky :p:

I do wonder about these guys though :stickpoke I thought someone here might know something about them but reviewing their website it appears obvious these guys are new to the game.

They set themselves out professionally though, and I guess a few e-bayers are looking to earn a quick buck by requesting to be distributors, I guess it's a wait and see, I will be more interested in receiving information from the worldwide garages they choose to fit these devices (If I owned a Garage I would apply on their site, if only to see the device in action).

I wouldn't buy one of those from ebay without playing with one in real life first. When I bought my car it had a Dynavin fitted, two weeks later I took it out and put an OEM 4:3 unit back in. The Dynavin was absolutely riddled with bugs and was driving me crazy.

Maybe this one is better. Maybe it's not. There's no way I'd gamble $500 just to find out.

:iagree: 100%

The Dynavin & Hualingan are too buggy in certain areas for my liking. Whats worse is that some people have bugs others don't without knowing why. For me the loss of the OBC control in the X5 is the nail in the coffin, at least on a 3 series you control it with the stalk.

Personally, I think these units try to be all things to all men, and do not succeed 100% with it all. It would be better if they made a simpler version which promised less but delivered 100% for a lower price.

Anyway, back OT, what is clear is that this unit is not 100% new, but the seller does claim that parts are up to date as opposed to his competitors which he says could be old. IDK how true that is though :dunno:

Yet another option from oemcargps.com. I think that the aesthetics are a bit more pleasing;

That really does look like a Dynavin.

I am in contact this these new guys and am trying to find out some information in English, these guys assure me it works and is reliable, but we have heard it all before, I am awaiting further info, will keep you posted.

If it was any better than what was already on the market, they would be selling faster than they could make them and the company would be huge. Like you said, we've heard it all before - time will tell ;)

To be honest I think most people have read the horror stories and been totally put off the idea, even if there was a perfect solution out there we would all probably throw stones at them :rofl:

I have not seen any bad or good reviews of this device so I'm just curious what these new kids have up their sleeves. :stickpoke

I agree.

I'm curious too - I'm not even looking to change out my std nav but still would be good to know the option was there if I ever wanted to.

why make it a bidding auction when you set the reserve????

I agree, I never bid on reserve set auctions, defeats the purpose and takes the fun out of it.:yawn:

the amount of times i have seen a regular auction with a final price well over that of the reserve set by a diffrent buyer for the same item that wasn't even met. :bustingup

well that one is on win ce 5,i heard that people have problems with it after a while!,maybe win ce 6 is better.

i am looking to buy one that has 7" screen and win ce 6,
so far i look it everywhere and compare all,i may go with this here model w2-d9743b is a 7" from witson.com they say that will sell for 365$ plus 80$ shipping ,they also have the 6.2" with win ce 6 for 375$ plus ship...,so i am trying to figure out few things before i buy.

Anymore news on this latest model? any feedback?

VALUE FOR MONEY
 

i HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET FOR BMW X5 E 39 CAR GPS NAVIGAITON ,A LITTLE BIT EXPENSIVE ,IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A DISCOUNT ??:bustingup

Aftermarket GPS
 

The unit shown on the oemcargps site is the Hualingen. Hualingen quoted me $410, with an SD card and without TV, plus $90 shipping to South Carolina. Not sure why I'd pay $688 plus shipping unless I believed the service after the sale was way better. No evidence of that, so I'm not buying yet. I'd much rather deal with a domestic vendor who would back the product.

Too true, you gotta go domestic on these things at the mo, I'm gonna see what my indy can offer me next time I am there, will of course post if he comes up with anything

I like this one and will get it very soon. It's from a domestic distributor with after-sale support.

Will get one for my wife X5 first since it only has the OEM 4:3 Nav. If everything works out fine, I'll get one for my E39 later.

Did you ever buy it?
I am looking for something too, but I am worried about the OBC control (all the internal car settings like F/c mph/kph ...
