JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Thought i might as well start a new thread for this. I have now officially ordered my Dynavin unit for my E46, It is version 3 and i held off until now as there were still a few bugs that i wanted to see ironed out before i made my purchase. The new version also includes 3g internet , Dunno what i would do with that but its in there now. I have igo 8.3 already for when it arrives and the maps are from the 3rd quarter of 2009 which is about as up to date as i am going to get at the moment. Total cost to my door is $1050, You may think this is alot but when you take into account you get Navigation, bluetooth, tv, dvd, full ipod connectivity, usb, video player and rear view camera (actual camera is extra) and all this rolled into a oem look touch screen center display that is plug and play and also integrates with your mfl i think thats a pretty fair price. The factory only does a run every month and currently all the august units are already sold and thats before they have left the factory so i am on the September list. Will keep this updated as it happens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jochen 4 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 what about trip computer, is that in there too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Just found out the new units also have the new revised controls, Previously the volume control rotors looked pretty crappy but now they are more oem and have the orange circle light up around them. Also you can now use the internet function as a anti theft car tracker. Edited July 26, 2010 by M-Spec Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 Its a must really. It would make a cool car even cooler. Just seems silly having a giant stereo in my dash that does pretty much nothing but control the CD changer and I still hate the tape player. Thankfully that is hidden behind the wooden door. Cant wait for the E39 release!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 The e39 ones, they have a smaller screen than the e46 ones ? or has that changed ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 The E39 is 6.2’’ and the E46 is 7’’ but they both run on the same resolution 800 x 480. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Just a word of warning if anybody is thinking of getting one of these from the states. Currently all Dynavin made for the states ship with the inbuilt analog tuner and all others that are shipped to Europe/Australia/NewZealand have the digital tuner. So because i am getting mine from the states it has the analog tuner, How ever you can change this to the digital one if need be. I am not worried as we still run the analog here and i doubt i would be watching much tv in the car anyway. Hmmmm , Might have it on to distract the missus so she's not saying "You are driving to fast slow down" or "watch out for that car" hahahah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red89mx 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Analoug TV for another 4 years or so then nada. See http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/...jectid=10652346. Cant you order a euro spec unit from the factory? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Could possibly ask the reseller in the states to get one in with a digital tuner i guess, You cannot order direct from the manufacturer as they only do them via resellers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 My understanding from Jochen is that we (NZ) are using a new (& different) diigtal frequency to Europe & probably other countries as well. Can't remember specifics of frequencies but they do differ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 sweet .. videos are a must Done with my camera so the quality is not all that great and if anybody gives me a hard time about my music you shall be cursed. Nice! Didn't take too long to arrive. Who did you buy it from? Looking forward to seeing it up and running. Yup was pretty quick, I got mine from a guy called Jeff he is a reseller of them and got into it because of all the people that were getting ripped off by other dealers.

rogan 7 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 Why did you bring one in from the US as opposed to buying from Prestige Audio? IIRC the rrp over here isn't much more than your landed cost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kwhelan 241 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Because a $200 saving is just that. so your price included duty or did it get thru ok, The new hooligan/hualingan models are shipping now and getting really good reviews,still have the full 7" screen and english firm has even got the mid working for full compatibilty,theres going to be a lot of work and customising done to all these wince models in the future I was a bit concerned that Dynavin changed chipsets in v4 so its possible there will be new bugs that havnt been ironed out yet?no problems with yours?
