That's a hell of a valet tip jar.

03'55AMG

Assuming they know is there. I also am planning on hiding a switch that controls the power to the drawer and hiding it. Then it will be a safe for sure

This is the model I've been interested in as well... I read up on it on their site as well and was reading everyones' posts on here and I was like, - pretty sure it's f/o, MOST, and CD-Changer compatible now... They have two models that fit the W211 - one that isn't ***** and the other one that everyone appears to be buying. $1500 sounds more like it. I would be interested in any info you find on this. Feel free to PM me if you dig up anything.

pullejo

Oh...and the conversion rate is huge in our favor right now... the $1500 system is now about $950+ $60 shipping.

I think I may just pull the trigger on it.

pullejo
what model are you looking at?

This one: it's the newest droid based one...

I think I might give it a shot - I sent them an email with a few questions...

I'm getting really sick of the electronics in our cars being so dated, but I don't want the "aftermarket" look and this appears pretty decent. Since no hacking of the original wiring is required, I can keep my OEM head unit for future sale of the car etc and not have to worry about everything being a mess in back. Also has support for the CAN-BUS (steering wheel) controls & fibre optic lines...

The link you posted states this several times,

Those weren't my questions... that was actually a statement.

My questions I'd sent to them asked about availability, shipping to the states, and a few other things. We'll see if they get back to me.

I'm still a bit unsure about the quality of this...but the form factor certainly is considerably better than going with a Sosche double-din stack and stuffing something in it. I like the idea of the external buttons paired with a touch screen.

I think the DVN-MBC is not compatible with the Harman-Kardon, while the DVN-MBE-MOST is.

These guys show how to install it. It works with the fiber optics but the install is a bit scary I think.

Must read:
http://www.dynavin.co.uk/

The UK distributor is now turning against Dynavin.com "Dynavin UK would like to regretfully announce after two and a half years of selling and trading as Dynavin UK, we will no longer be a stockist/distributor for Dynavin products. This is due to Dynavin.COM ‘s increasingly apathetic attitude in regards to the problems/issues with their Dynavin Units. (...) but will now become an information resource outlining the issues/problems users are experiencing with their units, in an effort to force Dynavin.COM into rectifying them."

Not confidence inspiring!

Well that sucks. So much for a new head unit. Guess I'll spend the money on wheels

pullejo

Yep...

This did it for me:

Time for us to find a good shop in Atlanta to do something creative!!!

avinator

Sounds like a plan! I just hate the fact that you lose the factory fit of the head unit. I know there are plenty of replacements out there but you do sacrafice the look.

Oh well.

bigillz

I just had a Kenwood DNX9990HD installed. Losing factory look was a big concern, but when I saw it in I was pleasantly surprised. I'll take some pics tonight if I get a chance.

avinator

Please post up the pics and everyone check this out.

Looks like a less expensive route with the aftermarket stereo.

Curious how ^^^^ they were able to install the Dynavin MOST D99 into a RHD W211? Iunno.

As far as Dynavin being a tiny little storefront in HK: not surprising. The mad Brits (speaking English?) probably didn't go to the Shenzhen (Mandarin only) warehouse, which is on the 5th floor. The Hong Kong picture looks like a trading firm/receiving office that's on the first floor, somewhere in Hong Kong. It's not atypical. I challenge the Ex-Dynavin UK to go to Bao-an District. OTOH, the fact that Dynavin doesn't show up in ANY US ocean import database is a severe red flag.

One of their US distro firms is on mbworld as: ottonavigps.

Their "office"/warehouse is within 30min of my house, and I'm sure they'd be interested in re-verifying whether the DVN-MOST system works in a US fiber optic'd car. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't want to see a Kenwood double DIN system stuffed into a W211

I can get these head units for ~$700, direct from the manufacturer. They said the units do not support HK or Bose systems.

Has anyone installed the NEW and improved D99 Dynavin DVN-MBE-MOST with Android in their Beasts yet?

numismatic

Ditto

JACK PRESTON

skratch77

Hi ,
Last year you had posted this .. Do you have any more information on the same ...

I've seen it where some people have removed cd changer and installed storage bin and door still raises. I'm going to try this

I had seen a site which were selling the storage bins to be replaces with the 6CD changer .. I cant find it anymore .. Desperately looking for them ..

Any help will be highly appreciated ..

Thank you
Best wishes
