Cheap Dynavin clone?

[UdubBadger]

It's a big time upgrade. I was lucky enough to get a copy of it from a nice fellow who's on here. Much better than the old one. I wish they would fix the horrible iPod interface.

I saw a dynavin clone in a VW at work today, made by Rosen. Interface was what dynavins should be. OF COURSE they don't make kits for BMW.

Nav software experiences:

So far we've had experiences with:

Sygic Drive 10
Sygic Aura 12.1 (latest of the versions listed - I believe there is now a 13?)
IGo Primo (Latest of the IGo's listed)
IGo 8

Anyone with other experiences? Garmin, TomTom, NDrive, Copilot etc?

For those with the reverse camera installed, how did you wire it through the rubber wire trunk loom? I tried threading a steel cable through it as a lead but it keeps getting hung up inside the loom. Also, I'm supposed to cut off the phono head? There's no way it's going to fit inside the loom right? So I would reattach it after I thread it through? Thanks.

^^^ Haha!

OK, I got the wire through the loom - had to go through the plastic cable weave (I initially tried to on the outside of it and that's a PITA). However, I have some issues. My trunk release button doesn't work anymore! I tested out the button and it clicks and seems to work (resistance on pin 1 -> 3 goes to zero when pressed) and I made sure I reconnected it... Perhaps when forcing the wire through the loom I severed the trunk line!? Argh. Oh, I did eliminate the 3 wires from the right license plate light to attach my camera. Could that have done anything? I simply cut all the lines (grey/green wire, grey/yellow wire, and grey/brown wire I think?) since there was no plug to detach it. Then I removed the light assembly and replaced it with the camera.

Trunk issue fixed. Loom wiring. Simple enough. Gotta be more careful.

Oh, the dynavin clone's built in amp vs OEM amp... I was lazy and I didn't rewire the speaker's to the dash. How intensive is the work? Is it worth it?

Is there any improvement in audio quality with these?
