Dynavin N6 Now DSP Compatible in US

Just thought I would pass along the good news... The Dynavin N6 is now DSP compatible in the US. It's been working in Europe for the past couple of months, but as of a few days ago, it's now functional in the US. No longer do you have to spend $3k with tons of complicated wiring to run an aftermarket system in your M5. As of September 5th:


Hi Blake,

Dynavin forwarded your email to me. As of this morning we have the dsp amp working in a us spec car (they have been working overseas for months). Dynavin will be shipping units with the revised dsp interface starting next week.

Thanks,

So basiclly this means I can remove my widescreen, MKIV and BM53, plug this in and be good. No aftermarket amp or wiring required?

thats really good news, congrats on that.


but to be fair the dsp removal / amp install is a little over hyped i just did it last week for the avin unit and it was far easier than thought... all these threads made it seem so bad. and the cost was a few hundred bucks all said and done.

i'de like to see some videos on the windows interface on these units vs the android ones.

I really want the Avin, but don't want to remove the DSP and install an aftermarket amp.

-Screams like little girl- Finally!

...Bad part is I just spent a fortune in trim :(. Now to wait a bit for the first few units to be installed for review.

I do have to agree with absolutegtr though, the E46 units pull it off better. I wish Dynavin would "copy" Eonon's take on the E39 (very OEM looking).

Not to get too far ahead of myself, but does anyone know if the fittings for the two knobs are the same? If I have the stainless (Diny) knobs, will they fit on just as well?

Exciting! I was driving to the airport yesterday and was thinking how great it would be if someone offered a head unit solution that was DSP compatible. I have no interest in adding an amp and so on, but I'd love to have some modern conveniences and a Nav that looks like it was produced this century. I honestly figured we would never see it considering how old these cars are now.

The older E39 Dynavin with the smaller screen looks horrible. The newer unit with the larger screen looks better, but I agree that the E46 pulls it off better. Compare the pics at the link below with the pics in the install guide on that same page...

*edit* - Maybe the screen size is the same and they just centered it (and the buttons) better from top to bottom? Either way it seems to eliminate that huge blank panel at the top that looks so terrible.

I'm quite impressed and most of the reviews I've read (from other models) are very positive on the new N6 platform.

** This is a video from a US-based reseller, NOT from Dynavin themselves, despite the "Dynavin USA" name. This guy is a competitor of Jeff's and I don't mean to cause a problem by posting it here, but it's really a great video. IMHO, Jeff's service before and after the sale simply can't be beat and assuming I buy one of the E39 N6 models, it will most definitely be from Jeff.

I think for those who want to retain the CD Changer they will stick with an OEM unit. I still have mine and use it, but if it ever fails, now I know I have a decent option to upgrade. I have never been impressed with the previous Dynavin units, but this ones finally looks promising.

The E39 dynavin does seem to have an Indash CD player, so that isn't TOO much of a scrifice, but 6 CD's worth on a micro/SD card should work :)

I can't wait till the DSP ready ones hit the market... i've been wanting nav/Bluetooth for far too long!
 
#23 ·
Yeah man, the BT phone and music is a big plus in my book. Updated Nav graphics is also a big step up. I not much of a fan of the OS, and I think the other units running android look far better and are customizable, I would sacrifice it to be able to have DSP plus the features of the unit.

I will probably just wait until my head unit dies and see where the market is at. Now that I say that, it will probably smoke and blow up on the way home from work today.

Yes it works... It took a bit of work, but we once we got past the 40 second mark (before the DSP amp would shutdown) :biggrinbounce: I knew we had a new option. The phone and A2DP integration is fantastic. It's been just less than a week with it and I'm slowly playing with more options as I get more familiar with the unit. And for those that don't like the DSP you can get an amp and crossovers to add to your system. :)

This is claiming full ODBC integration? I thought the older ones didn't even do that. Interesting. Also uses a good quality DAC, but maybe that doesn't matter that much since we're all keeping our ****ty oem speakers haha. I'm not very far along in assembling pieces for my Nexus build, so I'm not sure what to think of all this. Hmm...

The steering wheel controls work great... Can't help about Siri... The ***** and I got divorced a couple of years back for irreconcilable differences... :byebye:



Selling point is the BT and upgraded nav, not to mention the apps . Compared to my original head unit ( 2000 model ) this will be a big change. r2t2k2 can you confirm that the car's audible warning chimes still work ? ( door ajar warning, etc... )
The BT is seamless and the nav is better than before. The menus and features are more intuitive... At least they are for me. The key being... Can I program stuff w/o the manual? So far, so good.

And all the stinkin' chimes still work! Sometimes too well...

Maybe I'm missing the obvious... but where would your iPod be in this set up? Is the cable run behind and sit in the glove box or something?

Is this something I'd have to have installed or can I do it?

we are referring to avin, not dynavin android.
