did AMGFAN do something that looked stock but wasn't? at least in one iteration of his attempt to create the most custom install around - i think he succeeded

Do you know if you played with the original OS or the Android OS showing up on the Dynavin site?
It has all of that. I'm assuming the iPod/Aux cable or connection must come out through the back only because I don't see a USB up front. Both eBay and the Dynavin site show iPod integration.

The Android OS would be the same for all DYNAVIN products..only thing they are changing is the frame...

DYNAVIN is probably the best aftermarket OEM repalcement radio for European cars...they specialize specifically for BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, and VW.
As far as quality...DYNAVIN products can confidently compete with Pioneer, Sony, Clarion etc...

I have this unit. I've had it since July. I haven't had any problems with it. I installed it myself. I eliminated the amp and installed an aftermarket amp for the existing sub. It sounds great. It has bluetooth, navi and plays dvd's. It eliminates the old cd navi that comes in ours cars, with the sd card type. I'm not a promotion person for the company, but I can get these units around $660 plus shipping. They come with all available harnesses from whatever application your car has. It supports fiber optic and canbus. PM me if interested or you can just ask questions about it.
do you think you can maybe post a picture of you unit installed?

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
So we have two people here with something positive to state, one is brand new that post only on this, the other has a low post count and also sells or otherwise involved in selling these. In contrast, others here have posted that the unit is absolute POS, no in between, pure POS!
That makes people wonder what is going on. I'm not convinced until an established well known member here that is not playing 8-ball in a vendors pocket actually post up a thread.
If then it is found to work with none of the typical BS excuses, I would buy.

Not saying much as the aftermarket solutions are extremely limited to begin with.

Dynavin IS NOT A POS unit I can telly out that first and foremost. All technology is based out of Germany, and they actually try not to over produce meaning the quality over quanitity is more important..
Dynavin actually as a renown name in the aftemarket head unit

I'm not sure if I have a video of it in a car...but I can post videos of it powered on using the inverter we have here...
I was hoping the other forum member would post up his pics given he installed it.

I apologize as I know the video of radio above is for BMW E39...but the software/platform it runs off of would be the same for the E-CLASS Dynavin D99...
This is the NON ANDROID UNIT.

yes...the unit can still be installed if you bypass the fiber optics. However, installation wouldn't be so "direct-plug and play". Most of our customers usually take it to get professionally installed, but some are still able to install it themselves...

I like the fact that you don't have buy the cheap looking plastic kit to fill in the surround. It fits just like the mercedes unit. I haven't had any problems out of mine and I've had it for almost 4 months.

@WHIRLINFIST is yours the new model or the old one?
Also can you get the model that is able to work with fiber optics in the one video post it showed a model that worked with the fiber

It is the one at the beginning of this thread. Yes, it uses the fiber optic cable, but you plug it into the provided wiring harness.

There was a great thread on here with a double din setup that looked killer, granted it may have been / was more work than this and clearly was not plug and play....What about the amplifier or preouts for amps?

Even if the sound is not great...adding an audisson Bit One or the HK Logic7 processor would improve this. I like that it fits and looks OEM...with BT, Ipod, NAVi, Steering Control etc for $600.
Thanks again
