oh wait that is made for preface lifts so it has to be a fit.

We might be able to fit the w203 face lifts ones.

michaelnovikov

Yes thats the one i linked up there, my initial question was towards the w203 facelift unit

Someone had it installed here:

looking at the pics i now feel like doing the update if i have to. the DVN-MBC looks a lot nicer.

Dynomite can you post a pic of your updated controls please?

michaelnovikov

The user interface is simply amazing on it from the pictures, plus you have the ability to customize (windows platform).

sweet jones

nice. well comparing both they have the same features so it wouldnt matter which one as long as we can really get something going where people have money to put up. everybody always asks for t and when the chance comes all you hear is crickets.

dynomite05

True.

Clkboi

Yup that guy did it and he loves it.
If they make one that will fit our cars easy i am all up for it.

sweet jones

that looks great dynomite. you are saying it was only $270 for both bottom and top controls or just hvac?

i will be willing to do either of the two

michaelnovikov

Yeap thats im keeping my fingers crossed maybe the w203 one can work with our w209s.

Clkboi

Check it out:
lots of features:

Still hoping that the DVN-MBC for the w203 can work with the w209. There still has been no response yet i assume?

PS: Updated the original thread with reference to two links where on supplier provides that it is compatible and the corp website says no mention for the w209.

Now to play the waiting game.

dynomite05

That was for just the HVAc. I think the upper controls ran me $80 off eBay. Do you have the pre-facelift controls now?

dariusf

Sweet, should I contact him about quantity discount or someone did that already?

dariusf

Yes thats great, wondering on the hacking options like changing some of the UI etc. But then comes to mind the constant blue screen of death and reboots that come with windows...

dariusf

Now this got me worried, from this video of the DVN-MBE it looks like a very hacked up interface. You can see flashes of windows CE in the background while changing options, window white outlines flashing, etc. Not something I would want to have on the entertainment system in a Mercedes.

Now watching a few other videos on youtube I did see more polished versions of the interface with no sign of windows desktop or strange outline flashes and with nice transitions between option screens. Perhaps the first video was of an earlier version of the interface and they polished it up.

This is something I would definitely want clarified before making any purchase.

sweet jones

i do have the pre-facelift model atm. if the pre-facelift dynavin comes out first than i might just jump on that unless i can find all of the facelift items readily available.

dariusf

Another huge question is, does this interface with the bose-crap* so we can keep the bose-crap amp and 2ohm speakers. Otherwise you need to add a costly replacement of the amp, speakers and the head unit to amp wires.

* not that replacing all of it would not be a good idea sound wise

Quick question about the GPS: What maps are included? I have a prefecelift and would love this upgrade but I need Euro maps? It's not mentioned on their site...

mrtremere

Dynomite they make post-facelift models. I wouldnt redo your dash. Save your cash for more carbon-fiber.
