From what the documents state, I guess it has rca's. Is anyone running this head unit with an aftermarket amp? I'm curious if anyone makes a plug and play harness, to ellimate the factory amp?

Not plug and play on DSP/Nav cars? Boo!

The new Dynavin N6 is.

Not on nav + dsp though. I think it has to do with the nav computer interfering

RB, I have nav and DSP, and according to the Dynavin rep quoted by the OP, it wont work for me? Or did I misunderstand?

The N6 will work with DSP on NON-Nav cars. If you have NAV & DSP, it is not plug and play and requires circumventing the stock DSP amplifier like previously needed.

Ah, didnt see your last post RB.

I dont mind it being not a direct plug and play if its not as much work as with the older units.

Any update after you have used the Radio/Nav?

I like it, had to turn off the speed warning. If you are using the NAV and you went over the speed limit the system will warn you. But overall I really like the system.

If you're planning on utilising the RCA's and running an aftermarket amp, you'd be running new RCA cables the length of the car.

The factory harness will still plug into the rear connection of the unit, you'll just disconnect your factory amp, cut the the wires running to the factory speakers and redirect them to your new amp. New amp will receive signal off the RCA's. Harness into the back of the radio will take care of power, steering wheel controls etc (just no sound anymore)

It's not hard, but it is a fair bit of work, removing trim, running cables etc. I've done a few cars, and to do a really neat job it takes me a full weekend.

So you can really retain the steering wheel controls for volume if you use the RCA and remove the factory amp?
