That generic album art background pisses me off though. Why tease me?

i still need to get the correct hvac relocation kit in there but I'm gonna button her up and just say this is done with for now.

Isn't it the other way around still? :scratchinghead I mean you still have that iPod and bluetooth interface to deal with.....looks like Dynavin it teasing you still......


just messin' with you....good to see that you are making progress and sharing this with the Mafia :thumbsup If I didn't have OEM navigation, I would be looking at a different path after hearing of these problems....hope you are able to resolve those outstanding issues....then Dynavin will be your bitch :)

So why the change? What was the key?

I travel to a lot of unknown destinations for my 2 photography jobs so I need navi. Coulda done Garmin but I need handsfree bluetooth also (which Garmin does, just not well). I am a huge fan for consolidating things efficiently. I don't want a bluetooth headset, iPod dock and Garmin all as separate entities ( and truth be told the iSimple that Eli had in my car before i bought it wasn't reliable so it needed to go).

My choices were either go DICE mediabridge + garmin or dynavin. I chose dynavin just because its all right there on 1 screen and it would also provide a platform for me to upgrade the stereo on (preamps and such).

that being said when I finally got it all dialed in today I turned on the "loud" feature, bumped the bass and treble and turned up the volume... this thing hits pretty hard now. everyone said to expect a loss in sound quality but I'm pretty sure it went up. Maybe its just the newer design - D99 non android V5 - but those 6x9s are hitting like well amped 8's (or even 10s) like in my 135i. I might actually not need to add a sub now. I don't need overpowering deep bass, just tight hard hitting low end. I might replace the door speakers later on but I'm fairly satisfied right now. Good thing too cuz it'll save me $500 or so on the sub setup which means I might be able to do headers instead. ;)


as for my issues, I got a response back from the guys where I purchased it from and they're gonna walk me through setting it all up - even they admitted the user manual sucks ass.

My driver side angel eyes went out so I'm picking up the MTEC angel eyes from sonic tuning. Will do a write up after install.

Sonax is only something I use a few times a year. All other times it's just normal soap & water. I never let mine get really dirty anyways.

That wheel brightener stuff is good too.. awesome on brake dust.
