2009 CLS63 AMG + 2003.5 M3 e46
I've had a Dynavin unit in my M3 for over a year now, and the unit is great.
A few quirks, but so many features that it's well worth the price. Hoping the Mercedes version works as well.

CLS 55 AMG
FYI: This is a responce to my questions from Dynavin. They really didn't answer my questions directly, so I think I will call them and let you all know what I learn.

Here's the link. http://www.dynavin.com/products/prod...v_mbe_most.php

Greetings,
I have a 2006 CLS 55 AMG with a Harmon Kardon 7 channel system. I like the features that the DVN MBE MOST replacement head unit. I see the unit is compatible with MOST. However, is this unit plug and play for the 7 channel system or does it eliminate the center channel and sub woofer? Or is there an adaption to maintain the 7 channel funtionality?

Ruben Jimenez

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Isn't there an authorized dealer here in the US?
I think we'll get better answers there if so.

So, 650 EUR.
What does that translate in US dollars at the current rates?

According to the specs, this has a 38 second start time when warm and 42 second start time when cold? What gives? I'm not that impatient, but doesn't this seem excessive?

Also, it appears as though it doesn't support SiriusXM satellite radio unless I stream it from my iPhone.

Awesome!

So now, we're getting somewhere.
Who here is in Fresno?

Their address is:

2385 South Sarah Street
Fresno, CA 93706-4524
(559) 486-4041

It would be nice if someone could check this thing out since there is no mention whether or not the unit supports HK7Logic and whether or not it's plug 'n' play.

It does indicate that this unit is for Dynavin Mercedes Nav System, 2002-2008 E class, 2004-2011 CLS.

It seems you can order direct from them.
The unit is $799.00.

I think we could generate enough buyers between us and the E class owners to bring the cost down.

Yup, just read that too. LOL!
Damn, that's a long time.

In my M3, the start time for the e46 version of the Dynavin is about 30 seconds, but that's only for the NAVI. The radio and other functions (Bluetooth, iPod connection, camera, etc..) all work instantly.

Thank you for clearing that up.
I hope the same is true (or quicker!) for the MBZ model because it also has the NAV function.

This might help understand how the Dynavin units work.
There are actually two separate computers in the unit. One does the Navigation functions, and the other does everything else.

For the most part, the integration is seamless between the two 'sides' and you really will not notice. But there are a couple of quirks. One for example is how you can set the clock format on the NAVI side (i.e. set for 12h or 24 hr mode), but the same adjustment is not available on the radio side. So when in NAVI screen, the time will show as 5:30 pm, but when you move to the RADIO screen, the time shows as 17:30...

Again, all of my comments are based on the e46 version of the unit.

And as a final comment, I am really thrilled with my Dynavin. Works well, sounds good, reasonably priced, full of features, easily software upgrades via SD card, and is an easy DIY retrofit (at least in the BMW)

Yes this thing looks pretty sick. I would love to see this thing in a CLS. Will the MBZ 6 disc OEM cd changer work with this unit? or will we lose the cd changer functionality?

I'm definitely interested in this upgrade.

I'm surprised the guys from Dynavin haven't replied in this thread yet. With the amount of interest, I'd think they'd by active on the forum.

There's still quite a few unresolved questions with the plug and play compatibility with the CLS63....

It's a little disconcerting, sure. But hopefully someone has some good news on this unit.

One of the board sponsors said they didn't like this unit over in the W211 forum.
You might want to call this company direct and get more information then post back here.
