I'm looking to replace my professional head unit with something like this since the display on it doesn't work most of the time.
Is the N7 Pro worth the price? It seems the newest Eonons are less than half the price and have most, if not all, of the same functions.

Given that I'm asking in the Dynavin thread, I'm expecting some bias.
But at the same time, I'm looking for someone to talk me into paying the premium for the Dynavin, and talk me out of the (seemingly) more cost effective options.

Thanks!

The N7 runs DynOS, which as far as I can tell, is a customized Android distro.

Is there a current update ?

I last updated mine in March.

Had some audio distortion when CarPlay was in use which was resolved with firmware update. Real happy with modernizing the electronics and OEM look and integration. Also appreciated the forum discount from Jeff.

Where did you get the firmware update? I don't see anything posted for the N7 Pro.

Does Spotify work on this?

Not natively. It works via bluetooth or Android Auto/Carplay.

Just wanted to get confirmation that Android Auto and Apply Carplay will work natively with the new N7 Pro. There is no adapter required, just plug the phone into the N7 Pro's USB inputs and it will launch AA/ACP, correct?

[jeffb335]

There is an inline USB dongle but its included and goes behind the dash on the back of the unit. Yes you plug in the phone and it will automatically launch.

For you guys asking about N7 firmware updates, we are currently on 1.0.5.8, released around a month ago, fixed a bug with specific samsung phones and bluetooth. Check with your dealer if you need it.



The N7 Pro units are out now, have been shipping for a few months.

Hello,

I have E93 2008 with Dynavin N6. Is there a way to install Android Auto?
I have a spare USB socket sitting in the glovebox.

PS: I bought the car with Dynavin N6 so I don't have much info :/

Thanks for all the answers!!!

[jeffb335]

Android auto is not possible on older units, only the latest N7-Pro unit has that.

Hey guys, I have following problem with my Dynavin N6: the radio hangs up sporadically and the screen turns white. You can see the problem very well in this video:

It seems to be a common problem with the N6, in the comments on YT and in some threads about Dynavin I read that there was an issue with the motherboard and Dynavin apparently repaired many devices in the warranty period. Users who were affected reported that there were cold solder joints on the motherboard, but unfortunately I don't see any. Does anyone know the problem, in which area should I look for it?

[jeffb335]

It looks like you are in Germany? You should contact the german branch to see if they can help you. If not, email me and I can see what I can do.

Thanks for your response, I appreciate it a lot. Unfortunately I’m out of guaranty period, my N6 is now 4.5 years old, so I assumed that official support for that device could be quite expensive for me. My idea was to try fixing it myself, I just hoped that some experienced owners could point me to the right junctions that I can solder to fix it. Do you maybe have some insights about the affected board area?

I had the same issue, I just replace the LCD ribbon cable inside the unit and its working perfect for now. Bought it off ebay. 10 minute max job.

Does anyone with the N7 pro struggle with maintaining a gps signal in Android Auto? All other functionality works with my Pixel 3.

[jeffb335]

Yes its been awhile....covid put a kink in keeping up with this stuff...

Android auto is using the GPS signal from your phone, the entire android auto interface is generated by your phone.

For those with the N7-E9x Pro, will the voice button invoke Siri when in Carplay? If not, can the button be programmed?

Considering this for my 2006 e91 with HiFi and no factory bluetooth.

[jeffb335]

Yes it can activate Siri or Ok Google.

That's excellent, thank you. How does the unit handle dimming/dark mode? Does it follow the car's lighting settings, or does it use an ambient light sensor?

[jeffb335]

It can do either, its a setting in the system menu.
