Hey Fellas,

Check this out!

I was trolling through the E55 section and a member posted this touch screen head unit that looks OEM. I'm going to get some additional info on this to see what the details are but thought some of you might be interested.

That thing looks SWEET!!!

I'd love to see some install pics and get that thing in my CLS63...

Interesting! Anyone know how much this little gem goes for?

Here are some photos of the installation on a Bimmer.

Great find. This is a great replacement head unit. It has all the necessary functions. The only things I didn't notice is the DVD play while in motion and the center channel output for the Harmon Kardon pro logic 7. It’s a very small trade off for all you do get. Again. Great find. I’m book marking this in my favorites.

So i talked to the guy from the BMW forums and the piece is about $700. Way cheap in comparison to a OEM video Comand swap. Unfortunately the guy only does BMW units at this time. He did send me a link to a write up he did and mentioned that he would help us if there is an actual interest for these units.

It has SD card / USB capability so the software is easy to hack and the NAV has a lot of different skins that are available online. I imagine it would be very easy to make the necessary changes to watch video in motion.

I'm assuming that we'd lose the following:

1) parking sensor audio (I use mine daily for parking in my tight garage space)
2) service updates
3) 6 disc changer (prolly won't need it at all with this HU)

dyno

been asking 6 months ago to make it MOST compatible ...

till they don't do a really integrated Comand it remains a fake
and I would let these toys to A-class cars, at most ..

I agree, I think that if a company is going to go through the effort to make an oem replacement it should be 100% plug and play.
while I really dont know anything about this product, some questions are... does it have logic7, do you loose access to the CD Changer, communications with the canbus on the instrument panel and steering wheel, do these still work? those would be my concerns.

If you loose all that, might as well get a custom installed unit that is reputable.

What's up guys?

I shot Dynavin an email last week and guess what? The DVN MBE MOST is coming out in two weeks. I'm waiting on additional details but I just got an email from Jurgen Haas at Dynavin and wanted to let you guys know.

This has been up on eBay for a while now...

The Dynavin one has been out for awhile now too but the one coming out in two weeks is digital MOST connection making it a true plug and play. Not sure how the Ebay one connects.

dyno

already been asking a couple of weeks ago about that and, while at first they replied yes, after asking for more details they confirmed NO MOST ...



.. also, hope Dinavin will fit a GUI-graphical interface at MB-class level !

Maxx

According to their page it is MOST.

i was referring to the bay object



but not in love with the DIN interface, either

miraclewhip_cls

I certainly hope we are updated with photos/video on how the head unit works in a CLS. I am interested in this product. Thanks for the update.

The last I heard from the DYnavin dealer in LA says they are developing the fiber optic connector for the HK prologic 7 system and it will be ready in about 2 month.

I have been looking for options and this looks like it’s the best so far.
Keep us posted

Did you mean LA as in Louisiana or Los Angeles?

Anyway, count me in as an interested party.
This unit will breathe new life into my CLS.
It'll feel like a new car again.
